    I’ll be at this game, and I’m gonna need the Sixers to get slapped up...whole squad leaving with injured eye sockets and head lumps

    Rockets win as family members wonder why the haters have started off the new year in such bad spirits

    They are not a good matchup for us with all that length.

    This is where Capela and IHart gotta man up

    Interested to see if Denver was a fluke. I like playing a top teams back to back like that

    4 days rest after this game. Will Westbrook play back to back and face the Thunder?

    Yep! We gotta run big Al and Embiid. We need our shooters to make shots for us to pull this one out. At some point I expect Simmons on Harden that’s where Russ gotta step up and handle business.

    Yes, also noticed that some teams always hate us whilst other teams lets us cruise past them. Wonder if anyone could make a list of how other teams rank vs rockets (their hate and coming to play 110% vs us). its always been Eastern teams we struggle all time: Heat, 76ers, Wizards and Pistons lol.
    Saying this I know we also don't come out to play 100% vs some teams, that list would be handy too :) Anyway we win this time, Harden told me they want a big win vs 76ers this time :D

    After Christmas day, they've been on a skid. Rockets will be ready.

    Philly doesn't look as good as last season.I see the Rockets blowing them out honestly.

    the Atlanta game scares me though.

    4 days off, on the road, could be rusty. Easily a trap game.
