CELTICS @ ROCKETS...#REDNation #1 SOAP "As DWIGHT Turns"...ROCKETS get the GREEN Team Episode...Can the ROCKETS stay on the SPURS Pace as we head into th Holiday Season of LOGO Hoops...#BOSvsHOU #CLUTCHcity

The Boston Celtics come in as streaky as "Get Shots" J.R. Smith of Knicks Tape...and that would down more than up. They had lost three in a row to start the season then won four in a row and now back to losing four in a row. Team Stevens has played well as they buy into his Approach and Scheme. The Question now is will "Trader Danny" (Celtics GM Danny Ainge) trade the mercurial PG Rajon "Double R" Rondo to the Knicks or anyone at this point as the C's need Pieces and the only High-End Asset if Rondo on their Roster?

The Rockets come off of an East Coast Swing that saw them handle Knicks Tape in New MSG after a hard-fought loss to the Sixers on Broad Street the night before. The Rockets 'Fear the Beard" #13 is playing through what has been deemed as a sore foot. The Rockets also found a nice 1-2 Punch at the point in Knicks PG "LIN-sanity" Jeremy Lin and Whoo Pig Sooie and Chicago Westinghouse HS Alum Patrick Beverley. Now Clutch City Hoops gets a nice Home Stand with a 7-4 record and trying to stack some winds to put themselves in the upper echelon in the west.

C "Dwight of Three Stripes"

The Celts will have to slow down the fast-paced Rockets and not get caught up in Shirts and Skins but methodically picking their spots in Transition and making it a half-court game. The Rockets will try to go through Dwight on the inside and Harden on the outside with all those versatile pieces around them fitting in where they can get it. C's trying to halt 4-game losing streak and Rockets trying to add to that 7-4 record out the gate.
