    With CJ having found his shot and Dame due for a big one, I think we have a shot at this game. I think the team is excited to have Melo coming in and that is translating to more energy on the floor. I'm not saying we're going to blow the Rockets out but I think we'll win a close one.

    Russ is averaging 21/7/8 and his team is 10-3....... does he still suck? Set me straight, is he good again because he's NOT averaging a triple double?

    Starting Melo right away would be insane. But he should be useful on the second unit if he really has something left.

    Stop it, Harden is the best player by 100 miles on this team. If it wasnt for Harden, they would be 2-11 or so. Westbrook sucks and isn't even good for a 2nd option anymore

    So i would continue to start Little and see what he can continue to bring.
    Harden is tough to assignment for anyone but i assume we will have to see both Hood and Bazemore working on him.
    Blazers have the players and tools to match with the Rockets. But i'm more worried about players like Rivers, McLemore, Tucker and Capella having a big night.

    Fuck it let Nas defend Harden, we will probably lose this game anyway so at least this matchup will be good for his experience

    So we are going to blow them out even though Harden scores 50. Sounds good to me.
