This team is so pathetic, they don't deserve any picture.

Can you post a pic of how that looks coming out the other end? It will probably look better than the Rockets do right now.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I'm betting that McHale starts Caspi today but not Lin. The TT's isn't working and he can't afford to lose this one. He is not a believer in Lin's abilities so he sticks with Bev regardless of how the game is going.

Fat People Sex will probably continue tomorrow. It will continue until McHale gets flak for losing. So far the media is still high on McHale.

If the home crowd start booing, that'll be a sign.

The internet forums members are usually stats savvy. They're a step ahead with the analytics.

FPS line up hurts Harden. It makes it easier to double Harden or play a zone on him. Beverley is usually wide open on his first 3 shots. This will be interesting when Harden realize it.

We're still undefeated against any team not from LA, let's keep it that way!

Harden needs to either find his 3pt shot or stop taking so many. He's 6th on the team in 3pt% with 26.5% yet leading the league in 3PA... not a good combo.

Lot of chemistry issues to sort out. Here's a good opportunity against a lesser team to figure things out.

Should be a win. My expectations for the team is a top 4 seed and home court in the first round. Rockets will lose some games but not this one.

Can't take any team for granted - especially with our obvious chemistry issues. I expect a win - they SHOULD win - but I hope that they are approaching this game like they are the underdog.

Follow Add Francisco Garcia to list of Rockets battling flu symptoms. Harden, Lin, Howard, Smith, too. Garcia seemed to be especially struggling.

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Follow To that, add Casspi's left knee, Harden's left foot and Parsons back spasms. All expect to play, but Parsons will need hours of treatment.

OMG they need to stop hanging together
it would be funny all missing the game and the players available are down to

C - Asik
PF - Jones, Motiejunas
SF - Brewer
SG - Beverley
PG - Brooks

well NBA requires at least 8 dressed players
i guess we can recall Canaan and Covington from D-League

Follow Dwight Howard said Rockets "have to play inside-out." Not what you think. "That's our guards attacking the rim, kicking it out to shooters."
