Love it chile, the write-up, too.

Unfortunately I am in the worst city in the world at the moment for a friends wedding (I went to a stars game last night and wore a rockets shirt 8-) ), so I won't see it

Hope sweet lou stays hot

Is your friend from Dallas jwise?

If so, you might consider ending that friendship ASAP.

Turns out Beverley IS playing. I would've rested him, don't need the defense so much on Rubio and on offense they can rely on Lou a bit more, but he says he's good to go

Love the color scheme of these uniforms, but I still hate the sleeves!

And nice to see Bev with the start after all!

And oh man! Beautiful hookup there with Harden & Capela! They got that magic down!

Hope they limit Bev's minutes. Likely won't need him too much and would rather let him heal up.

I'm hoping that he plays a few in the 3rd and that's it for him tonight.

This rotation is going to be crazy-deep. This will not be a 9-man rotation!

For those just tuning in: The Houston Rockets like to shoot 3-pointers.
