Some Early Short thoughts on Game 1

10
  1. Houston has been pushing the tempo, and we've been giving up lots of fast breaks. Interesting to see how that works out
  2. Houston will start the 6'6" Chuck Hayes at center. Hayes is no pushover, but giving up 6 inches, Oden better get a LOT of chances down low
  3. Related to the above, if Nate decides to go small ball for large chunks of the game instead of exploiting his own matchup advantage, so help me...
  4. Will we look any better than last year at mitigating the damage of quick penetrating point guards?
