Mavs always come prepared for the Rockets. I'm expecting a tough one.

Who is out for tonight?

Is Harden playing?

The team is on a back to back and the guys will be tired. We've done well on B2Bs this season though.

I think this game is going to be about coaching. Can Mchale adjust? Will we screen our guards and have passing and ball movement or rely on ISO plays?

https://twitter.com/houstonrockets hasn't mentioned one way or the other yet. It usually does... they should at least within the next hour.

These days, Harden actually cut down on his ISO tremendously and trys to have players to get involve, much more than what casual Rockets' fans would think.
But his SG/PG usage by McHale actually is hurting his potent scoring ability.
He does sets up nicely from the perimeter to proven scores like Parsons and Dwight time to time but he does neglect all the other players ability to play in their optimal level.
We need to buy into Lin's PG ability even though he does have short coming in certain areas for the betterment of the whole team and McHale should give him a fair share of his minutes to have everyone involved AS A PG.
Or at LEAST, have Lin play as a primary ball handler as a true PG when Harden is out.

I won't be saying all this right now since we still are trying to figure it out what works the best for us as a young team but the way Harden plays his defense, it will not inspire anyone of his team mates to work for him from the offensive end.

I bet if this was a national televised game Harden would play. Since it's not I'm thinking he sits.

Brooks has been funny lately. He gets treated like a little kid first by McHale last night then by Crowder today.

I don't know why they didn't just go to D-Mo in the post on every play against this line-up that DAL had out there.
