    Revenge !!
    (1) Jabari and Scoot were kicking the crap outta the Thunder.
    (2) Ant's go-ahead missile got suppresed by corrupt officiating.
    (3) Ayton put heat on himself to show everyone what Dominayton is all about.
    (4) Malcom nearly lost an eye, a wounded animal can become more fierce.
    (5) Grant has been a bucket machine.
    (6) Toumani and Matisse have been extremely disruptive defensively.
    (7) Duop playing like a minimum contract monster.

    Basically... the Rockets are about to land inside an active volcano firing out pinwheel shaped lava bombs.

    And yet we'll still probably lose this game. I think it will be a good game but I don't see us ultimately winning but would be cool with being wrong.

    Billups hasn't had to call timeout in first 3 minutes. Good start i suppose ?

    Blazers TV skipped an entire Rockets possesion to show a Chauncey interview

    picture in picture software was developed over 30 years ago. But Jody Allen is so cheap she won't buy it for the Blazers.

    Did they take the point off from the double lane violation?

    I think Jeff Green is playing for his 13th team. Maybe 12th as this is his 2nd stint in Houston
