25 games into the season and the Rockets have a chance to go over .500 for only the second time this season. Have they finally started to find their groove?

8:00 PM CDT on Root Sports Southwest.

Go Rockets!

I'm still upset that my planned trip that would have taken me to Lithuania this year was pushed back until maybe next year at the earliest.

Enjoy the game!

I think this is a double digit loss. We're slow to start, we don't defend transitions. Denver is a good transition scoring team, plus it's at altitude, so we're going to have an even slower start.

don't be too upset. the winters right now are bone chilling and miserable. if you're going, go in the spring or summer, the nature is beautiful around that time and exploring cities like vilnius is way more relaxing and convenient.

and thanks, i might take some pictures to share later on tonight, depending on the seats.

i'm rooting for houston here, but this has all the markings of a trap game. while houston i think could get into a quick start by overpowering the nugget's starters, the nuggets bench is dangerous. malone hasn't been utilizing minutes towards his players consistently so basically if you're making things happen on the floor then you stay in, minutes are up for grabs and it makes the guys compete harder. obviously they've beat this team twice already this season so there's the confidence booster for our extremely young guys.

Dmo's passing has been sorely missed

It's going to be a tough night rebounding. Faried too big on the boards for Jones and too athletic for D-Mo

You cannot put Jones on Gallo. That's not even Jones' fault. Why did JB allow that?

This happens every 1st quarter. I think we gave the 76ers their franchise record 1st quarter this season as well.
We simply do not start games well, like everyone is smoking pot on the bus and it takes until half time for guys to run it off.

Getting bailed out by unusually high 3pt% right now.

Trade jones for a pick. He does nothing elite besides flex.

Dwights D was really poor tonight. And even I have to admit that Jones kind of suck. D-MO looks good but needs better rebounding,

The dropoff of Dwight has been a huge difference this year. 13/12/2 from our "franchise center"? Meh, colour my uninterested. That's basically rich man's Omer Asik.
