Quick preview today. It's Saturday, after all.
Early in their recent podcast, Mike and BD talked about how they expect the Rockets to destroy bad teams but they keep letting them into games.
The Milwaukee Bucks are the worst team in the NBA, and anything other than a 15+ point win will be a disppointment for a team that has it's sights set on a deep postseason run.
Tip off is at 7pm CST
Matchups:
Point Guard: Jeremy Lin vs. Brandon Knight
Knight is a quick guard who can beat you off the dribble. Those kinds of players kill the Rockets.
As for Lin, I'm going to cut off his toes so he never makes a long two again.
Advantage: Even
Shooting Guard: James Harden vs. Luke Ridnour
Please.
Advantage: Rockets
Small Forward: Chandler Parsons vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Um in what now?
Advantage: Rockets
Power Forward: Terrence Jones vs. Ersan Ilyasova
Jones plays yet another rumored future Rocket! Who cares?
Advantage: Even
Center: Dwight Howard vs. Larry Sanders
Garry Shandling is always a handful. Players on the drive need to know where he is and how committed he is to stopping them.
Advantage: Rockets
Bench
Rockets: Aaron Brooks, Francisco Garcia, Omri Casspi, Greg Smith (maybe), Donatas Motiejunas
Bucks: John Henson, Khris Middleton, Caron Butler, Miroslav Raduljica, O.J. Mayo
Advantage: I don't know anymore.
Prediction: Rockets win 111-83.
