Live Thread: Cavs versus Rockets

2015-01-07 Off By Nate Smith


The 23-11 Houston Rockets come in with a healthy Dwight Howard. They’re 5-5 in their last ten, but that’s against a schedule with only one bad team on it. Dwight is averaging 14 and 9 in the last five games, but only .6 blocks in just under 30 minutes a night. The key to stopping Houston is stopping MVP candidate, James Harden who’s shooting a scintillating 62 TS% for 25 points, 4.4 boards, and 3.6 assists with only 2.6 turnovers in 32 minutes a night. Oh, and keep him off the line where he’s shooting 96%.

J.R. Smith and Kyrie Irving will suit up tonight for the shorthanded Cavs, who have a tall order in shooting down the Rockets. Let’s go Cavs.
