    This team has less weaknesses than any of his other teams.

    I wouldn't count on a drop off. Houston is for real.

    That pains me to say.

    Houston has nothing to play for ....if they risk injury to their stars it's for nothing in this game...

    I want Baldwin. I want Papa G. Shit sprinkle in some Jay Lay in there as well. Save the bullets for San Antonio.

    I’m OK if we get blown out tomorrow just as long we win the game against the Spurs

    Dame is out tomorrow. Which means CJ needs to put up about 60 points for us to have a realistic chance of beating a healthy Houston.

    And since that isn't going to happen, then we are going to get absolutely murdered.

    I think our best hope is that age and going senile catches up with SA. Otherwise I don't see us winning a single game in Texas.

    Napier
    Cj
    Turner
    Aminu
    Nurkic

    Second unit:

    Baldwin
    CJ
    Connaughton
    Collins
    Swanigan/Leonard


    Rockets will probably rest some guys. Anderson is out. Wouldn’t be surprised if one of Paul/Harden doesn’t play.

    You know there is some truth to this. Then you throw in Chris Paul and weird things just seem to happen.

    Look at that, HCP even switched away from his MRS webcam to make us feel more comfortable.

    If we somehow pull off a win tonight, we clinch HCA.

    Then rest everybody for the final 3 games.

    You understand that he had to work hard to get to this state. There might have been stairs involved. :smiley-new_shocked:
