GT #35: Rockets @ Wizards 7 PM CSN

[FAH1223]

Can't really read this game. Rockets will beat the Spurs one night and then lose to an amazingly sucky team the next night.

Rockets will win tho. #FireGrunfeld

[TheBigThree]

We're in for three 20+ point losses over our next four, including last night. Might be able to scrape out a victory over the Bulls in between so Ted has something positive to write about.

Going to be another blowout

You're right, we're going to crush these cowards.

Bunch of negative nancies on this board. I know my boy Wall gonna drop 30.

I think Parsons is out. That should be a big help - he always seems like a matchup problem for the Wiz. Gortat's gotta play a lot better than he did against Indy - and contain his ex-teammate - Howard. Houston has a few players that tend to turn the ball over a lot, so the Wiz have to take advantage of to's.

I look at rosters and not the team. Thats how I knew we would win at NO. There lineup doest scare me at all and its the same with Houston right now. Look at there roster. We can beat that team and we should win at home

Wizards might actually be able to win this one.

Parsons (hamstring/knee) will not play Friday against the Hawks, the Houston Chronicle reports. He's also doubtful to play Saturday against the Wizards. (about 22 hours ago)

Asik said Monday that his knee feels much better, but there is no indication of a firm return date, FOX 26 reports. Moreover, he relayed, "I'm working hard. Now, it's more stable. I feel much stronger. This way, going slower, helps me a lot. I will come back stronger."

James Harden led the Rockets with 25 points after averaging 37.7 in his previous three games as Houston played its second straight game without third-leading scorer Chandler Parsons (17.2 points per game).

"Guys just couldn't get into a rhythm," Harden said. "Guys were just sluggish tonight, including myself." The Rockets had a season-low eight fast-break points to the Hawks' 20.

FT practice anyone.. :/ Janchise to the rescue! hehe

[nate33]

Hooray. Wall actually took it to the basket on that last isolation possession rather than settling for the jumper.

[hands11]

Vanchise end to end. Block on one side and tip in on the other.

Calling league office to see what to do? Yikees.. Sounds like lengthy delay/postponement?

[dlts20]

this sucks but maybe its actually the best thing for us. Key guys are getting rest without missing game time. Shoot, I may bring Wall right back in depending on the rest time or just after 2min since he's still getting teh same amount of rest as he normally would and we need this game.

Either way, I hope Witt doesnt just strictly go by his normal rotation minutes because the starters (especially Wall) will get cold. You have to bring him back in sooner

[J-Ves]

I blame EG

[queridiculo]

ESPN says delayed?

[hands11]

Pull a tarp under it and let the water drain to the side.

Let get on with it.

I'm missing this one.... what's happening?
