    the battle of the only winless road teams in the nba. We have the 9th highest payroll in the nba and a lot of veterans. They have the 21st and a bunch of youngsters after recently blowing it up trading harden.

    One of those is not getting a very good ROI.

    I believe Portland had the best road record last season, so I don't see any reason why they cant break the ice in Houston, new coach and all.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Rockets are the worst "bad team" to get right against. They've made games close against some good teams and they play fast and with a lot of energy all game long. I saw them play the Warriors, and while the Warriors eventually established order, for a while the Rockets kept cutting leads down to nothing in constant attack mode. A disciplined defense will eventually cause their undisciplined offense to fall apart, but right now I don't have a ton of faith in the Blazers' defense over four quarters.

    I'd obviously still favor the Blazers to get the win, but this isn't a trivial gimme, IMO. If the Blazers aren't playing hard and well, the Rockets could throw a scare into them or even upset them.

    We should all praise the selfless generosity of the Blazers. Think of how much the Rocket fans will appreciate this win by their struggling team.

    At 1-10 I'm not so sure? They might be looking for a draft pick already?
