    Nuggets are a good team so the Rockets will at least give effort, unlike when they play bad teams.

    Unfortunately...missing Clint is a killer against this team. He always dominates.

    You don’t think Faried wants to make a statement. This is his first game back in Denver.

    And besides, Jokic can’t switch and can’t drop against us. Rockets are 9-0 against Jokic since he’s become a starter.

    Nah, It’s because Jokic can’t defend Harden’s PnR. Jokic is 0-9 as a starter against Houston. He can’t switch and he can’t drop. Jokic is useless against us.

    Capela had a 6pt game and 8pt game last yr vs DEN. Year Before that he had 4 average games.

    This is about Harden v Jokic. Faried will render Jokic useless, too

    Faried will play well, I don't doubt that at all. The lob threat of Capela has always been a huge advantage for us against Jokic, though. Harden should be able to do what he wants, regardless, though I expect the hard double the way the Pelicans played.

    One of the biggest reasons we have so much success against these guys is because of Capela. He has always dominated Jokic on both sides of the ball. This will be tough.

    After last game, the Rockets ought to be looking to utterly annihilate whatever team they face next. Doesn't matter who it is; you do it as a matter of regaining some pride. It ought to be a foregone conclusion they'll stomp the Nuggets tonight some way somehow. But I don't know...
