Note the early start time.

Note Harden is going to put up 3,000 points, hit 72 three pointers and go to the line 1,987 times against us.

Should be fun.....

harden has been in a horrible shooting slump the past few weeks. i am going out on a limb and saying he gets out of that slump tomorrow. but to be fair, we are fairly equipped to defend harden - MKG, hendo, taylor, will all get their turn. maybe not a good game to give gordon big minutes, unless rockets go small and play harden at sf some.

Our big man defense and our three-point defense are so bad that Asik could probably sneak out beyond and kill us from there. That would make one hell of a story.

Nothing says get well like playing the bobcats.

Houston have a bunch of capable three point shooters, even Morris and Patterson have range

Harden is going to go ham, Asik 20+ rebounds

Could get ugly

Harden with a season high. book it.

nah, we have enough wing defenders to keep him working hard. but i could see parsons or one of the role players having a monster game. harden goes for 30 or less.

I actually am kind of hoping that our athletic bunch of guys can stop Harden. They should be capable of giving him a tough time making those difficult euro step layups. If we can hold him to one of those 6-20 nights he has once in a while, we have a good shot at winning. They are a team that relies on its high pace and scoring, even though they don't particularly have the best bench or help for Harden and Lin as far as scoring goes. Moreover, it's not like they can fix Harden's shortcomings by playing good D. Slow down Harden and this can be a W. Of course, if Asik doesn't go for a 20/20.

Love the early start, just got home and as it is **** freezing outside, tea and some Bobcats - Rockets (a fun match-up, I might add) seems to be just perfect.

I didn't forget that it's an early start on mlk day. First time ever for me!

if this isn't a sign, that we won't win, I don't know what is.

Bobcats have lost 30 of their last 35 home games. Last won in Time Warner Cable Arena Nov. 21.

It's nice having an early game to wake up to. The only hope I have is that the Rockets have been slumping.

aggressive start for MKG despite ankle. thats a good sign.

over/under for fumbles by Biz and Asik set at 8.5

interesting that harden starts on MKG with parsons on hendo

hopefully with some rum

Nice quick start.

great start by cats. defense looking solid, rebounding well, hendo with a hot start.

Bobcats trying some three-quarter-court traps today.
