Now the Houston Rockets have been completely revamped and remade in the image of James Harden and the Mike D'Antoni offense. Clint Capela has blossomed into what everyone had hoped Dwight would be in the Rockets system (although he didn't stick around to try another round with MDA to see). Oh, and then there is that Chris Paul fellow who seems to be having the time of his life as a professional basketball player.
The failed Harden/Howard combo has seen two stars go in two different directions. The Rockets will be heavily favored; but expect the big man for the Hornets to try to show that he's still got it. Unfortunately for him he'll have to try to do that against Capela, Nene & Black.
Hoping for a nice shooting night for the Spaceman & Splash Gordon. Maybe give Harden & Paul a bit of a rest if possible. The trio of Ariza, Tucker & M'bah a Moute will likely just keep on doing what they do well and hit those threes while harassing the hell out of the opponents.
Enough talk. I'm ready for the game! It's a home game, but a later start at 8:30 CDT, so it must be a nationally televised game. Remember to combat noise pollution and turn down the volume during the pregame & halftime shows!
GO ROCKETS!!!
