Good test to see if the team is capable to challenge one of the better Western teams.

Have a good vibe about this one, I think the Pacers can upset.

Rockets have been scorching hot so far this season, let's better see if we don't get blown out, a W would be a shocker to me.

Going to be a blow out today.

We absolutely refuse to defend good shooters and thats pretty much all the Rockets do.

The big question to me is how many points is Harden gonna lite them up for? I'm going with 45.

I'm more worried about Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon tonight.

I mean, Harden is going to get his. But Thaddeus Young always leaves shooters WIDE OPEN. Also, after watching JJ Reddick get more open 3's than he does in pregame warmups, I'm not very confident in Oladipo defending the 3 tonight either.

This is gonna be a very hard game for us but let's hope for the best. I don't think we can stop their shooting.

Looking ugly already.

No defense, no offense

Pacers need to think good how to defend Rockets. But I like Pacers chances. Just loose cannon Lance has to be less loose

This might be 40-50 pts blowout if we continue like this.

Lance with the dummy play right off the bat. Contested three. Brick.

Pacers guards are shockingly poor with their passing game. I refuse to believe Rockets are this good on defence, but Pacers are having horrible possessions every time it seems.

Hate how pacers can't make a single pass to Sabonis. They should play as they did at the start of the season.

Leaf in the rotation means Pacers are not serious about winning. Misses rebounds, help defence putrid, if his jumpshot not falling he doesn't provide much else.

I don't know why, but they're not using Domas' DHOs nearly as much as in the first 6-7 games.

They haven’t been using Turner either. He should be averaging at minimum 15 shots a game.
