I like where this thread is going. Set low expectations so there's no room for disappointment. My guess is that Dwight will have a good a night and we will win by 15 points. Something like 88 to 103.
We're going to pulverize them. No way we let them embarrass us a third time. I expect playoff level effort from the guys until the 4th quarter when we bring in the bench because it's a giant blowout.
Lot of talent on the Kings, honestly... but I have to believe we have too much pride to drop this a 3rd time.
Bev continues his astonishing play and goes for a career high in points while limiting Thomas to under 35% shooting Lin continues to struggle and scores only 5 points in 18 minutes Parsons has another big night and goes for 24 Dwight has an off night but plays good interior defense and grabs 16 boards Harden had a mediocre 3 quarters but goes off in the 4th and closes the deal. We win by 12 Oh and anyone know the status on TJ?
I hope we come out motivated this time. Sacramento has some athletic size down low, and we got killed on offensive rebounds and 2nd chance pts. I think we'll need a healthy T. Jones for this matchup, down low ... but idk if he'll be back soon, a deep thigh bruise sounds rather serious.
Rudy Gay just lit it up in New Orleans . The Kings will be on the back end of a back-to-back. Advantage: Rockets.
Have a bad feeling about the Kings game. Rudy Gay dropped 41 on Pelicans tonight! They have talent and will be mess it up in the 4th Q!
Having Beverley and hoping for TJones to play tomorrow Rockets should take this game. Last time the Rockets played the Kings, the rockets bench was Garcia, Brooks, and Casspi who were outscored by 16 pts by the Kings bench.
Revenge on Blazers - check Revenge on Kings - fingers crossed Revenge on Thunder/Pacers/Clips/Mavs - that would make the season for me.
If the Rockets want to be a top four team (which qualifies as a huge success), they must start winning these types of games.
I hope we win. Big. I hope our 3's continue to rain down - but if not, I hope we can buckle down and grind one out. I hope DMo continues to shine. I hope Bev can sustain his energizer bunny thing - he'll need it against Thomas. I hope Lin will finally man up and play with intensity without sulking over his situation - and I hope he has a big game off the bench playing the way we know he can when he has confidence. I hope the ball mvt from last game is for realz and Harden doesn't go into iso super sticky mode for more than a couple plays. But mostly I hope for world peace.
