Amidst the trade deadline and we standing pat , we need to maintain our number 1 seed going all the way to the playoffs. This is so important.
We have a huge March coming up.

Alright. Houston you want to play with no center?
Have 48 mins of McGee/Dwight with a sprinkle of AD at center.
Get ready to get every rebound, and lob

Russell Westbrook was listed as questionable on the Rockets' injury report on Wednesday night ahead of their matchup with the Lakers in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Westbrook is questionable due to a left thumb sprain. He injured the thumb in a win over the Pelicans on Sunday, and left with the arena with his hand heavily wrapped. Westbrook also sat out Houston's win over the Hornets on Tuesday.
The Rockets point guard will miss one of the next two games, but not necessarily due to his injured thumb. Houston faces the Lakers on Thursday night before a matchup with the Suns on Friday, and Westbrook's rest plan dictates he sit out one of two games anytime the Rockets have a back-to-back. Westbrook has missed seven games due to back-to-backs this season.
Robert Covington is available for the Rockets on Thursday after getting traded from Minnesota on Tuesday night. He could be immediately inserted in Houston's small-ball starting five, positioned next to 6'6" forward P.J. Tucker in the frontcourt. Tucker has started at center in each of the last three games

Kuz better play like he wants to stay here now. No more inconsistencies...

Kuz's scoring rate is just about where it's been in his previous years. I agree he's been up and down but so have his opportunities. Inconsistent is the way to describe everyone not named LeBron or Davis it seems. Green, Bradley and KCP seem to rotate decent games and rarely every have coinciding good games.
As for Kuz playing like he wants to be here... not sure he has every not wanted to be here has he? I'm not sure he's wanted any longer than it takes to get some value for him however. He's worth a lot more come the offseason and I'd be shocked if he's here next year but then again....I'm surprised he's here today.

I hope Kuz goes off. I still think throwing AD at the 5 and starting Kuz is the key to reaching the next level. Should be done soon.

This game's going to be a cakewalk... Bunch of new guys, some probably won't play... But it's also completely irrelevant... I hope our guys get lots of rest... Call me when the 4th q starts...

Even on the kcp and Avery thing. If one of them has a good one, Vogel takes the mins from the other. It’s not like they both even play together and get time off. Heck it’s rare to see any combo or Green/kcp/Bradley 2 at a time ... which goes back to Caruso and Rondo both play too much

Not a single offensive rebound for the Rockets thus far. Unless they're shooting 40%+ from three I just don't see how this strategy is going to work against good teams.

Our big guys getting hammered at the rim with no calls. Just because they are being guarded by midgets doesn't mean they aren't being fouled.

This is the thing about our team... We're playing well... We look like we're dominating, but it's only a 2pt game.
Teams are always in it against us.

Yeah they are letting the mice foul down low ... MAybe that is Dantoni plan too
I still say trap HArden and play the C on Westbrook
