Things don’t get any better for the Rockets tonight against the Trail Blazers. Nothing more is wrong with them; they just have to keep playing basketball.
I miss those memes.
But, for real, they’re still missing James Harden and James Ennis III, among others, against a really good Portland team. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers are on the second night of a back-to-back after playing the Pacers last night IN Indiana. The Rockets haven’t played since Friday in Houston.
This is one of those games that don’t say much about the Rockets if they lose, but it says a whole lot about them if they win.
