Unfortunately I am in the worst city in the world at the moment for a friends wedding (I went to a stars game last night and wore a rockets shirt

), so I won't see it
Hope sweet lou stays hot

Turns out Beverley IS playing. I would've rested him, don't need the defense so much on Rubio and on offense they can rely on Lou a bit more, but he says he's good to go

Love the color scheme of these uniforms, but I still hate the sleeves!

Hope they limit Bev's minutes. Likely won't need him too much and would rather let him heal up.

I'm hoping that he plays a few in the 3rd and that's it for him tonight.
This rotation is going to be crazy-deep. This will not be a 9-man rotation!

For those just tuning in: The Houston Rockets like to shoot 3-pointers.
