This should be a very good game between two of the top teams in the NBA. Harden & Paul will actually get to face a Spurs team with Kawhi (even if he is on minutes restriction). Of course, if the Rockets win then according to RealGM and "experts" everywhere it is only because of the minutes restriction; and if they lose then that will be undeniable proof that the Rockets are one of the worst teams of all-time and should just fold the franchise. Either way, prepare for some of the most unbearable hot takes of the entire season so far.
No Luc tonight, so Ariza & the Tuckwagon will need to step up big to cover those wings and hit those 3's. It would really be helpful if Spaceman & Splash Gordon spread the floor out with some soul-crushing daggers from Baytown or Texas City (as Bill W. would say). This will also be a great game to see a nice competition between Harden & Paul to make them see who can feed my countryman more beautiful passes at the bucket. A little muscle by Nene to keep those guys honest will help as well to establish the paint for Houston.
Harden & Paul should do what they do, which is fit together so well.
11 in a row, going for 12 tonight!
GO ROCKETS!!!
