    This is a fun game. The Rockets are making centers obsolete!

    I keep hearing what Barkley said ‘this lineup will work in the g league’’ I screamed for joy when he said that cause he’s always wrong

    Did any of you pre-game naysayers see us tied at the half?

    I think Houston will lose this match. I suggest give the final minute ball to harden rather westbrooks.

    The Lakers are about to find out how good the Rockets are. If James keeps giving the ball up on the doubles and keeps the team in a rhythm The Rox will dust these guys. They need to play a match up zone in the second half but the must stay in it after the switches. Covington and House have to have big rebounding games. Harden will get his

    disagree about foster, but ITA about Green. Another worrying point is the amount of easy points they are giving up.
    Will do!

    I think the whistles get swallowed in the 4th and we have tired legs on some of these 3s.

    Entertaining. Tucker getting some rest and D holding up.

    The trade already showing it made the Rox better. However the midget ball lineup is the wrong strat to use vs Lakers it just shows Dumbtoni's ineptitude when it comes to matchups imo. If we started a normal center alongside Roco and Tucker we would prob be up 20 by now considering Rox are shooting lights out from 3. Have Hartenstein or Chandler clog the paint and stop Lebron and AD from brining the ball inside. Let them play our game of 3 pt fiesta and see who wins. Instead we are letting them pound the ball inside and we expend 3x the energy to defend two top 5 nba players from scoring.

    Theres a time and place for midget ball vs AD and Lebron isnt it imo.

    Rox are shooting 55% from 3 and just even with the opponent. If that numbers dips they are screwed this game and people gonna say the trade was wrong when its just wrong tactics used by the coach.

    Kenny finding it hard to agree with those big men, cause it will basically b saying small players like him can't ball against big men.
