Rockets need to get this game and move up in the WC standings.

At Thunder I don't see the Rockets winning this game. The Rockets will need a big game out of the bench to win this game

No Westbrook...

I still think they are better specially since they are playing at their home.

I don't know.. I want the Rockets to make a statement tonight. Both teams are injured, but the Rockets can bomb away and I'm looking for Harden to remind the Thunder they made a BIG mistake.

Not even close no Westbrook is a bigger hole than no Asik. I think this gives Houston a huge edge, now lets hope the team goes to Howard early and often. Perkins/Adams can't contain him. But I can see Harden getting worked up and try to do too much

What a coincidence. Our first game in OKC and Bev can't enjoy his homecoming :-(

The Rox looked pretty spent last night. Now a b2b?

I was sure that Bev, a veteran of Chicago's Southside and the meanest parts of eastern Europe, would relish basking in the non-violent hatred of OKC, featuring neither flesh-ripping coin tosses nor tear gas.

Don't get your hopes too high guys. Game five in seven nights and on a back to back. OKC at home, with a days rest and determined to get revenge for Westbrook. This could get ugly.

Harden, parsons, Howard have been playing 40 mins. Tjones is not used to such heavy starter minutes and Lin is only back from injury less than a week. I can see us running out of steam.

I'd be surprised if Canaan got time. Same with DMo unless he plays real well.

I'm real interested to see our energy level tonight though.

Also, I dislike the fact the game is on NBATV.

howard said rockets need to start strong and dominate right from the start...i trust him to keep his word...

Westbrook is a huge loss for OKC but u guys are underrating Reggie Jackson. He's legit, a top 6th man of the yr candidate. Plus 4th gm in 5 nights... expecting no energy and a sloppy loss tonight.

Doesn't matter if Westbrook plays or not, current Rockets just not good enough to beat OKC. You guys are giving up way too many points per game.

inquisitive · Post #16 » by **inquisitive** » Mon Dec 30, 2013 12:03 am

i expect a loss ...a huge blowout too...so if we get down by 20pts early 1st half....i can see Canaan coming in.

Time Out! damn that was bad

Post #20 » by **TMACFORMVP** » Mon Dec 30, 2013 12:15 am

Settling for jumpers on offense, and giving OKC a couple wide open shots.
