This is a good team to get right against. They're young and talented but we should be able to frustrate them if with our movement on both ends if we really bring it.
 
perfect night to shut dame down and give him extended rest for 5+ days.

shaedon should get his first start against Jalen Green.

What relevance does Elton John have with this game thread?

Is this a "Rocket Man" thing?
 
Don't know why the rockets aren't starting Eason. He's clearly better than Martin. They need to let Smith and Eason grow together.
 
If Dame is out, who is backup PG when Ant sits? Keon? Justise?

both. By committee. Possibly Sharpe for a few possessions as well? Id like to see how he can push the ball and handle the defense.

Also stagger Hart and Ant. Hart can PG a bit as well.
 
This can be a nice bounce back win.

Good team to get that W against and maintain what we had before our inevitable first loss of the season.

The game most naturally had penciled in as a likely W when looking at the other games leading up to this.

5/5 on prediction and hoping for 6 with a nice smack down of the rockets. I guess I technically copped out taking the Kings game as a maybe.
 
I think I know the least about the rockets compared to any other team around the league.

Maybe I should go post on clutch fans and tell them I haven’t followed the team and if they can explain why they suck.
 
CJ was always better with Dame out. Same for Simons?

Please do it.

Well the Rockets beat the 4-1 Jazz so I wouldn’t get too confident.
 
So... can we add a poll about who should start with Dame out? I see that @Chris Craig is ASSUMING Winslow, and I agree that makes sense, but a poll would be fun.

Also (related): is Payton Jr. going to be back for this game?
Supposedly Payton is supposed to be re-evaluated today, but we have no idea whether or not he can play.

I agree that the question is poll-worthy, so one has now been added to this thread.
 
shit....I thought I was voting Sharpe, but I guess I voted Winslow

first mistake in 23 years. Last mistake was that time I thought I was wrong....turned out I was right
