Houston Rockets – Memphis Grizzlies – Houston had several goals during the summer, first of all bringing Chris Paul from Clippers and Carmelo Anthony from Knick. He succeeded in this first and once again expressed the desire to try to go to the end, to the title of the champion. Memphis has been disappointed after a series of season by a couple of very important players and a big question as to what they can do this season.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets managed to bring Paula out of the Clippers (for him, with 7 players) and so he would join him with another great bragger Harden. But things did not start well, so Paul experienced knee injury at the opening season and the latest information, waiting for a 4-week break. That’s why the Rockets immediately launched a quest for a new player, and as his replacement was already mentioned Jameer Nelson, who was released from Denver in the autumn. And without Paula Rockets they started well in the new season, they even got the current champion of Warrior, and with the recovered Paul they want to go to the very end.
Many ask the question of how much Paul and Harden can play together, as both players are good and playful and silent, both wanting to have the ball as much in their hands. D’Antoni coach will need to solve it and allegedly has already determined how to use them, that is, how will they allocate the minute and the assignments. The Rockets have a good first five, while Hilario is on the bench, and Tucker and Mbah and Moute are new to the bench, but regardless of the importance and quality of Paula, they seem to have easily solved Lou Williams, who could have scored 15 points on average.
Alleged initial composition of Houston: Harden, Gordon, Ariza, Anderson, Capela
Memphis Grizzlies
It can already be said that this season will be extremely difficult for the Memphis team. After a long time in the season they come without Randolph, who with the veteran Carter is in charge of the Sacramento jersey. With two of them, there is no defense team, Allen, and his new team is Pelican. In addition to this, the start-up wing Green has been hurt and will not be part of it for several weeks. All this is not a good news for fans of Grizzlies, who from the beginning of the season continue to practice from last when they whistled for Parsons, surely the biggest disappointment in the past season (signed a contract worth $ 94 million).
It seems that the surprise, at least at first impressions, could be rookie Brooks, which in the first match of the Pelicans season, as a reserve, scored 19 points and had 5 rebounds, 4 stolen balls and 2 blockades and assists. Memphis brought McLemore, Evans and Chalmers, but it is known that the game will continue to be based on Gasol and Conley. It seems that with this playmaker it is difficult to play-off.
Houston Rockets – Memphis Grizzlies Tip
Regardless of Paul’s absence, Memphis should not be a tough “bite” for the local Rocket. The attacking arsenal of Houston is far wider and better, so we are typing on a secure host win.
