    Tough test and would be a huge upset to pull off.

    So long as the Rockets don't shoot in the 20s from threes, I like how they match up.

    We actually match up pretty well with OKC. We went 2-2 last year. Jabari is ok on Chet. Amen can shut down SGA if given the opportunity. The big problem is Williams. Brooks can’t guard him. I guess you could try Tari on SGA and Amen on Williams, but I think Tari would foul out fairly quickly. It be a great game for Jalen to step up on defense and give Williams some issues.

    Yeah Rox match up better with them than with Boston.

    If Chet is a no show, then Rockets have a decent chance as well.

    Hartenstein would have been the difference maker but is injured.

    We can’t let them get off to a hot start. If SGA or Williams are going off early, Ime needs to hit the Amen/Tari card quickly. This is not a team to try and mount a big comeback on, they are way too good at defense.

    Have to get the Thunder while Hartenstein is out! Tonight will be a good test. I expect a quick hook by the Udoker.
