Agreed, that we need to get Yabusele playing more.
Though, Theis is not out. He's too tough to go down.

Dumb question... But isn't there any way to control the temperature inside the arena? Or would that cost too much?

Well it is a hockey arena, so I would imagine they would. Unless they traded away their heating system.

Should be a comfortable win. Expect Kyrie to go off tonight for 40.

Thank God Clint Capela isn't playing.

Without CP3 or Capela we actually won't be out talented by them.

Irving, Tatum, Horford vs Harden, Ariza?, Eric Gordon?

I think we may even be favorites at home now when you look at the two teams and who's available.

Rockets lead the league by far in takes and makes from 3. Cs are among league-leaders in limiting 3-pt attempts and makes. Something's gotta give! No Capela rolling to the rim helps us a bit. Need Smart slowing down Harden without fouling too much. Outflop the Beard, Marcus!

Gerald Green has the best job in the world. Just look how happy he is, even though he isn't playing tonight. Think about it- even as a 12th man, you're still making over a million bucks a year. You get to travel with the team on a private jet and stay in great hotels. There's no pressure on you since you are at the end of the bench......which by the way, still provides a great vantage point to watch games. Last but not least, you get free shorts, shirts, sweaters, hoodies, sweat pants and socks.

Rockets are still a 2pt favorite despite their injuries.

It’s funny reading the GB Gameday thread and how Rockets are missing everyone yet people forget we are missing Brown, Hayward and Morris is still injured.

How did Green get suited up so quick? It seems like he went from Wojbomb to game time in 3 hours.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

He was already in Boston attending to his son when he was informed Rockets were signing him.

So will Gerald's uniform even have his last name on it considering how quickly he's suiting up? :lol:

Harden is more than capable of single handedly taking over a game any given night.
