    IH’s defense around the basket was impressive and he got 9 points on top point of that. Props to him and MDA too for trusting
    him.

    He might become a regular rotation player after all.

    An excellent post. I was expecting more defense around the basket from Capela though. We need him to alter and block shots at the rim on a consistent basis.

    Lol, I wanted more intimidation in the paint.
    I do like Clint, and he is coming back after a concussion.
    I want him to become a mini Hakeem on defense.

    they are in even worse shape now that we have Hartenstein....I fully expect him to play good D in the paint and on the perimeter in that game....Coach has been prepping him up for the next two games!!

    Man It makes me feel disgusted having one of the worst home crowds in the NBA, No energy, empty seats, doesn't feel like a home game, I know Russ is feeling that way lol comparing to OKC.

    The only time people show up is when its Playoffs time and then it feels like a Home game.

    Not as good as the time that Chairman LeBron got his guys to play with their hands behind their backs because he was having a temper tantrum.

    Quiet as kept, Westbrook is now shooting above 70% FT... (.703)

    Maybe increased familiarity with our system will get him 30% from 3. He has a long way to go though (.227)

    This Rockets team has found its form.

    I believe they will be on the same level as the Clippers by the end of the year.

    This narrative needs to die. The vast majority of those empty seats (basically most of the lower bowl) are corporate seats. No one is sitting in them unless those tickets were given away.

    It’s really not comparable anymore. Durant joined a Finals team. Giannis is helping a team get back to contention. Yes it’s still Steph Klay and Dray, but they have to build it back up again because it’s a trade and they have to give up pieces. Also now you’ve got the two LA teams to compete with. Obviously I could be wrong but I really see it playing out like that.

    Were you at the game, or were you watching from home? The crowd was pretty loud for a Monday evening game.

    Did you see how wild they went when a fan threw a freakin' giant red fry into a bucket?

    its not only the empty seats ... the entire crowd is weak and mainly acting like in theater and you have the greatest basketball show on the earth playing
