    Obviously they're missing KD but having an elite defender out there instead of Ryno & the best offensive player in the League in Harden would make an incredible difference.

    We all already know Harden's impact but this board severely underrates LMAM's.

    there's just no chance we can beat GS unless we get elite production from our frontcourt. our backcourt at worst is even

    Ariza didnt show up tonight. 1-8 is not gonna get it done when we're shorthanded (many of his misses were at crucial moments and WIDE open). PJ Tucker was a liability when he was in, and Black is not a serviceable backup for Capela. Hope the return of Moute helps this team, but we are in dire need of a 4 that can consistently score and play D - dare i say even Terrence Jones would be an upgrade over what we have going on between Ryno and Tucker.

    Good game overall, no reason to get discouraged. Cant expect to beat them every time, let alone when we are missing the mvp. At this point we just need to weather the storm and hope we head into the playoffs healthy and full of steam.

    Morey should call Charlotte and see if we could entice them on a Batum/Ryno swap...

    Seems like b2b effect Trevor Ariza the most. He has been on a shooting tear but the last two B2B he is a combined 2-17 from three. Yikes.

    Anderson is utter trash for $20million. Wtf did he even do on the Pelicans to permit such an offer? What? This is terrible. I tried to play along with things but I was one of the very first ones to mention that Warthead Speights was available at a bargain price.

    When both teams are healthy Rockets have the personnel to play good defense.

    They used to have the firepower to beat the Warriors but without what Ryno could have been, they will fall short.

    Warriors can sustain an injury to KD. Rockets NEED everyone healthy....simple as that

    Tucker and Ariza were dreadful...blame ryno lol

    Ryno is certainly part of the problem but focusing on him to the exclusion of everything else is frustrating

    Harden cancels out Durant, I know Lucs not amazing on offense but his defense definitely takes some points off the board.

    If he was a great 3 point shooter both at home and away, everyone would overlook his contract. Tonight he didn't even look like an NBA player.

    they run around so much its hard to keep the switches disciplined. which is why we got schooled when webber, black and green were on the court , they can't keep track of the switches, and they get open layups
