    I'm worried James Harden will be on fire tomorrow night. 6-16 for 15 points is not good. He will be very aggressive. Hope Matthews is ready.

    Yeah no way he will have back to back bad games. It wasn't just his shooting. He just never got going tonight. I was hoping he would go for 40 against the Clips.

    If Wes Matthews picks up a couple quick ones, they would probably slide Batum over on him. The best way to slow him down is do what the Clippers did tonight, make him hustle on defense. JJ Reddick went off on him.

    It would be nice to get a win against these guys tomorrow and send them off with their first losing streak! It will be tough. We are gonna see what this team is all about tomorrow night.

    I haven't been able to catch any games but this past one, but he looked amazing. If he can make threes like last game that will put a lot of pressure on Harden.

    Hate to admit it, but me too. It even trickles to individual players for me now... I don't wanna see MCW blow up just because we could have had him even if he said he didn't want to come here.

    Pretty much any team or any player that isn't on this roster is hard for me to like. Its not a very good way of thinking.

    I don't play that "Oh they should have been on our team" crap. That's for trolls and media.

    Are the Rockets wearing the throwback red and yellow jerseys permanently now, or was last night a random occurrence?

    136 posts and 12 hours before the game even starts? Jeez. Is this just a product of early season enthusiasm, or a genuine reflection of more interest in the team?

    Or perhaps it's just increased popularity of this site?

    My guess is early season enthusiasm. Hopefully they will continue to get better, and stay away from injuries, and the enthusiasm will last.....

    It's probably because "the hcp" is gone.

    Rockets are going to be looking for redemption after that embarrassment last night. Howard got too much rest. Hardin will be on fire. Good thing we had a couple of days off.
