Super unlikely that we win this game, but it would feel so, so good.

My hopes for this game are that we stay healthy and our shooters get some confidence in their shot.

Offense has to be consistent against a team like Houston, if they can play with the defensive intensity like the past six game and capitalize on offense, they have a chance, otherwise Houston takes this.

No Westbrook so the offense should be flowing without all his dumb mistakes.

Should be a loss, but for some reason I think we pull it out tonight.

Jerami Grant will dunk on him.

This is a weird matchup to predict. The Rockets currently have a worse ORtG on the season than the Thunder and are also a bottom 10 defense. You'd think you'd have a chance if you turn it into a "grindfest", even without Westbrook. For that to happen George has to play well though. No more of that "I'm gonna clank this midranger and make a 3 two quarters later".

We aint winning this one. No need to be mad or nervous during game, our win streak was great. Lets make a new one after this loss.

Even If we lost tonight I prefer to rest Russ against Phoenix and Dallas.

Houston's start to the season was atrocious, but they just got Jeff Bzdelik back. Harden is playing too...

Can’t wait to see this Schroder/Paul and George/Harden matchup. This is going to be fun.

I was about to say. That’s a terrible shot for Adams. But he drew the foul. Harden got 1 foul already.

This is definitely biggest test for our defense thus far.

Adams gotta be a little more patient when he gets ball in the paint. Why is he trying to shoot over Harden instead of backing him down and forcing help?
