Beating our two Texas rivals on back to back nights would be fun. I like fun. Must win game.

Good game to finish the tough stretch. Hopefully we win and get the other guys back for the next tough stretch.

Ouch. I was hoping Wall would be out since we're going to get SEGABABA Luka.

No Dipo audition? Shame.

No Dipo audition?  Shame.

Not sure his knee will ever allow him to play B2Bs again. I think this is the reality for the rest of his career probably.

Yeah, our schedule is bizarre. We already have the 5th most difficult schedule and after this we face DEN, UTA (2x) and PHO (2x). Hopefully that means that we can hang on for now to .500 and in the end we pull out to a 4th-6th seed to avoid the play in tournament.

Choke Fans think THJ will have a great game against them once again...

Vegas line dropped a full three points since opening with news that KP is out.

Luka, Jrich, DFS, Maxi. KP. I see that as our best starting lineup. 4 out of 5 out tonight... This is really difficult...

Well Brunson lately starting to suggest he should be in there starting in stead of JRich or DFS, even when they return.

This will need a true masterpiece from Luka to win this one (2021), under these circumstances with most of the team out. As when Van Gogh made the The Starry Night (1889), or Vermeer the Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665). What will be the name of this masterpiece? The impossible Win over the Rockets (2021)?

Honestly, this will get really difficult, but I believe we will win. Brunson and THJ are playing really well, they will need to play really many minutes. WCS as well. Need a Boban special performance tonight as well. Hope the rookies will finally start showing something good. Johnson needs to show all his veteran experience. It really shows we have some decent depth, that we still could win this one.

Expecting Luka to get doubled all game long with KP out. Its up to the rookies to make the shots tonight. We will probably see heavy PnR with Luka and WCS and then teams will let Josh Green open on the outside. Need to start making them this game.
