    I feel like the Rockets usually played well on Christmas during the Harden days

    The Rockets usually win when Tari is in the starting lineup. They had a 10 game winning streak last season with him as a starter.

    That Christmas 1993 game is confusing me. I know the Oilers beat the Niners that day at SF 10-7. I thought both the Oilers and Rockets went undefeated in December 1993. Maybe that was in November 1993 .Rockets started 15-0 that year

    Tari starting is interesting. He will offer more offensively than Okogie, that is for sure.

    Durant has stopped improving, not sure he is cut out for this league. At best he is a 6th man off the bench. Need to look into other options instead of relying on a role player....

    IME sucks at coaching, the more minutes he plays his best players the better chances of winning..... I'd play DFS the whole game.... He can rest during timeouts and challenges...
