    Rockets told us this injury would be minor when it happened.

    And here we are like a month later...

    Luka is out and all I can think is "dammit, we're still going to lose"

    o_O

    This is the kind've confidence that recent Rockets play has instilled in me!

    I’m not a big fan of our “every other game” resting scheme

    If a guy is hurt , why don’t we rest him until we are sure it won’t flare up again ? It seems like we only rest you if you’re on you’re deathbed/ severely injured .... then we play you the next game possible and are shocked when the injury gets re-aggrevated

    I’m sure we will find a way to let random no name (ie scrubs) players go off on us, and either one of Porzingas or Hardaway will have a career game tonight and we will lose yet again ... we shouldn’t but I e probably will ... James goes 2/15 tonight from 3 I’d wager

    First game of the season for me, looking forward to it seeing Harden and team vs. Luka!

    because he "normally feels better once a game gets going," so we can't know if inflammation flare-ups will bother him until we play him.

    lulz

    these comments of MDA's before Portland game proves waaay false.

    What a challenging season. I love James but I was a Rocket fan before him and will continue to be one long after he is gone. Hope he can pick it up as a leader and as a competitor. Because of my personality and what I expect from a leader is hard to share some of his traits.

    It's just hard to see such great players refusing to be humble and accommodate his peers. Utah game was fun, Portland was torture. Maybe we are reading too much into the last game of a road trip.

    But against Portland I was thinking how ridiculous it's that by comparison a Scola-Kevin Martin game could be more fun that what we have saw. I love that we try to be different, but our bad days just look awful.

    Anyway, we will be there tonight again, trying to find the fun again. Hope Capela can come back and somehow fits, hard not to see him gone soon.
