As long as Andre bodies him up, you're fine. Griffin however should take care of the other big.

I see the Clippers coming out of this. BTW Houston deserves a better coach than Mchale.

I think Phil would fit right in tbh. Like Shaq, he has Howard protecting the paint. It'll play perfectly in Phil's hands because DH is too beta unlike Shaq to demand top dog status.

[pookenstein]

Would be funny if both teams used the hack-a-... tactic.
25FT's for both Howard and Jordan result in a combined ten points and a game that goes om for four hours.

[Rogue]

stein with the excellent innovation tbh, that would kill the fun of the game though.

[Red Hawk #21]

Its gunna be another night of flopping and flailing for CP3 and Griffin. Maybe James Harden will be able to outflop them tonight, but that will be an extremely difficult task.

i thought this was going to be a blow out win for us, but I'm not too sure anymore. Bev. will be needed this game, AB's defensive holes are going to glaring tonight as CP3 will have a feast. Also the rockets are continuing to experiment with the twin tower lineup. As long as they limit the time and don't keep them in too long we'll probably win. But who knows. I say Asik gets traded before the deadline though. This team is scary with a stretch 4, just look at when Caspi or garcia are in the game and they aren't even Pfs.

Idk, Asik might need to stay. I don't wanna ever see Jones or Dmo at center.

It's not like Hollywood Blake will hit his jumpers anyway. I think the twin towers will be okay this game. Howard will do good guarding him. Rockets just have to hit their threes because the Clippers are one of the few teams that can keep up with all their shooters.

[Rogue]

even with monkeyball counted as white.

[RsxPiimp]

this is an early statement game for houston, dwight needs a big game. last year, dj and griffin clowned dwight in the post, i'm interested to see how he will fare against both this year.


as a basketball fan, im becoming a fan of houston quite honestly, howard isnt such a phony dude, id' root for them after the spurs. i like the fact that they play hard nose defense with great chemistry. houston is going deep this season.

[Arnold Toht]

even with monkeyball counted as white.

He's a white-faced monkeyballer with ****** brains. I don't count that.

Hell, I shouldn't count 0-timers altogether. These two teams are irrelevant.

or see how well Scola and Yao complemented each other back in the day. The Rockets had always been searching a stretch 4 since they acquired the #1 draft flop in 02 imho, they had tried Maurice Taylor, Eddie Griffin, Juwan and Swift yet none of them cranked out any good results. It was the 6'5 Hayes who turned out to work best with the 7'6 piece of shit before the arrival of Scola, and Hayes didn't have no other ability on the floor but playing defense and grabbing rebounds back in the day.

I think a stretch 4 will always benefit enormously from playing alongside a dominant C. DH might be one or two steps lower than his best days in Orlando but he's still hands down the best center in the league, and while he was playing in orlando he even made a scrub like Ryan Anderson look decent and earned him a 10m-scale contract.

2nd seeds are rattled. Let's see if they can overcome the flops and the not so physical D by the Clippers.

Houston has a lot to work on if they want to turn contenders. Harden is not consistent enough to be the first option on offense. I wouldn't be surprised if KD calls in a year or two.

G Smith was pretty impressive in the first half I don't know why he's still benched. Dude scored like 8 pts on 4-4 FG plus 6 rebounds in just 6 minutes, yet he hasn't got no time since the game resumed after the half break. another example to show why McHale is a shitty coach tbh.

Houston should seek to sell Asik before his trading value dives imho. Dude's a total surplus on this squad and the twin tower idea doesn't work.

Well damn, wasn't expecting to put up 137 on Houston :wow

Offense looks great so far, defense still needs work (as expected with the change in defensive philosophy), tbh.... the Clippers have already blown one winnable game by not being able to get their act together on the defensive end, I'm sure there'll be a few more games like that as they get used to the new system, tbh....

Good game, Rocketfan, the rematch in a few days should be interesting :tu

dwight still has zero post game after a supposedly fruitful and productive offseason training with olajuwon :lol

there's no one in the league these days to demand it...Tim Duncan is 37 yrs old and he has the best post game of all the current Big men in the league..that right there tells you what kind of league this is now....Dwight figures he doesn't need one...that's why the league is watered down...no one to challenge his retard ass...you see what that TOSB did to him last play-offs...and he can't blame Kobe for that...it was all him and Duncan 1 on 1 and he got schooled

your Rin sucked most of all imho, and you're gonna have to pay him 14 million next year... 14 MILLION for a scrub :lol ain't the worst contract you have made though. At least Rin is still playing, instead of collecting 34m with his full 7'6 length clasped in a wheelchair for two years

[Indazone]

Lin can play better and will eventually. Harden 6-16 shooting and Howard being a foul machine in the first half is the story of the game. Other than that, there was a lid on the Clippers bucket. Everything they threw up went in. Everything the Rockets threw up there clanked. Lin's defense is not Beverly's defense. In this game, Beverly would have been a lot better on CP3. Lin cannot keep up with him but then again, neither can most guards in the NBA. Still overall, everyone played like crap. They deserved to lose this game.

[Killakobe81]

Meh Heat beating everyone. No one seems ready for when the Heat actually focus in. Too many holes on other elite teams. Only hope is heat get banged up on road to the Finals ...
