Rockets and Golden Grizzlies get underway soon
What’s status of Oakland’s injured players?
Hope all of Oakland’s starters are able to play. This game could be a great early measuring stick for the Rockets, but not so much if we play them at less than full-strength (like our win over a St. Joe’s team that wasn’t at 100%).
If Oakland IS at full-strength, I don’t expect a Rocket victory but would like to see us hang with them.
On a different note, if my math is fairly accurate, 3 guys are accounting for 70+% ofour scoring after 2 games. I know—it’s early. I just wonder if that’s sustainable over the course of the season...
