    Are we going to hire a defensive coach this year? Giving up 40 points to a Nunn ain't cool

    Clint Capela was 8-10 tonight with 20 points and 13 rebounds and a plus/minus of +20 and some of y'all still hating on him.

    Think Rockets problems defensively are more of personnel more than scheme. House is not trying enough on defense. Nunn was abusing him. When they had Tyson in, he was very uncomfortable switching to guards on perimeter. I would try Thabo over House to start the game and see how it goes from there. Offensively you don't lose much anyway as neither is playing well right now.

    Harden was fantastic as usual.He looks like he could average 38 per game(seriously). EG looks ready. Clint was active, rebounded well. Russ looked faster and more comfortable before his injury. PJ has to find his shot. He may have lost half a step. Thabo has lost a step but he doesn't make many mistakes. Chandler is our most physical player. His box outs are textbook. House looks solid. Hurry back Austin, we cant lose any defenders. We have to be patient with the defense.

    I was thinking the same thing. House plays like a relief valve for the starters but with the reserves he loosens up. I would play reserves
    pg-westbrook/clemson
    sg-rivers
    sf- gordon
    pf- House
    c- Chandler

    Defense has been Horrible whole preseason, Feels like lot of teams been having that same issue, like the Jazz for example. This is a big issue though, scoring at ease vs us.

    You're missing the point. First post vs 16th post is more than just a bit

    Like I said, that kind of info is needed on the op.
