    I think I'm going to change HCP's moniker to HOPO.

    Really? I think they're one of the deeper teams in the league.

    Only three players played off Houston's bench during their last game. Jones, Brooks, and Garcia. They scored 18 points.

    They usually have Lin coming off the bench, Caspi, Ronnie Brewer, Greg Smith, Montiejunas can play...

    This would be a big win, give the two best Texas teams their only losses on the year. Houston has to play at LAC on Monday so you think that would help having them on the second of a back to back while we rest.

    Pretty unique going against a defense with two DPOY level centers on the court at once. I'm not sure what the counter strategy should be against those guys. Pick and pops? Try to spread their team defense out with 3 pointers?

    Lots of 18 footers. Lots of 3's. Unless Dame can penetrate and Robin can block out.

    This could turn into an ugly game. Not feeling too hot on this one.

    Lins starting because Beverly is hurt. Casspi is hurt. Brewer and Motiejunas are terrible I hope they are on the court.

    I just don't see any way LaMarcus and Lopez can play to a draw inside against Dwight and Asik. I think we still should start with the normal starting lineup but if it isn't working I'd make substitutions early and go small ball with LMA at the 5 to spread them out. Just run and gun up the court. We will lose the rebounding battle but those two centers are not offensive threats, so we don't need to worry about defending their centers. With shooters everywhere and speed we could cause them problems. I'd love to see Asik trying to guard Wesley or Batum on the perimeter.

    Stupid game isn't national, so I can't see it.

    Houston has the same comcast issue that Portland does. No comcast, no Rockets or Astros. They are only in the second year of the fiasco though.

    I hope we see "LaMonster" this game. I think he is one of the only players that can work Howard when he tries to play him single coverage.

    I think the biggest "X factor" will be Matthews. He needs to stay in front of harden like he's on a mission from God (excuse the blues brothers reference). Matthews needs to score and make harden work on the defensive end!

    Note to Lillard: you are a star and just do what you've been doing!
