    Biggest positive tonight was Harden onlo commiting 3 turnovers without CP3 in the line up.

    He was at his MVP self today and against the Lakers. So that is a positive sign that hopefully this won't be a 2015-2016 season again.

    We going to get outrebounded nearly every night.

    The Jazz game is looking a lot like the Pelicans one.

    this small ball is cute and all but if teams play competent bigs this is what will happen.

    Thru three games...

    MCW is averaging 4 ppg on 31% shooting.

    Ennis is averaging 7 ppg on 37% shooting.

    Melo is averaging 8 ppg on 32% shooting.

    There's why we suck. 3 guys in your 8-man rotation are not getting it done. Find another three.

    What do you think the difference is ?

    Because last year we also started PJ at the 4.

    Has he regressed ?

    Is Ariza a THAT much better rebounder than Ennis ?

    Personally , I think Clint isn't up to form yet . But he's improved a bit each game . He was a full 2 steps slow vs NOP . I think today he was about a half step behind .

    If Clint can get back up to speed ... our starters will at least be OK rebounding .

    From what I see here...I think people are disappointed with the effort and production on the floor tonight. If you're not improving,you are backing up.I'm not happy but, as pointed out here, it's not time to throw in the towel...it's still very early. But, I do have a problem with a guy that it all over the media about how he should get paid (CC) and then secures 6 rebounds.Melo looked disinterested along with Tucker who had one 3 and 3 rebounds in 37 mins. GG had 11 pts. and 4 rebounds in 21 mins. and played well I thought as did EGO.

    **** Giles. Dude was disrespectful to the manager.

    Josh James is the future. Astros will be back. Tweak things n pray Correa becomes a star.

    Agreed, worthy of criticisms.

    Diatribes against Dantoni being the worst whatever, is akin to being a drama queen.

    Gordon was also really really good. He has taken a step back and I think its the trade rumors. Why play hard for a team actively offering you in a trade. It has his mind ****ed up.

    Yea I'd like to know this as well...but thing is, if Paul and Harden are healthy, where are we gonna put him? He's essentially CP insurance at this point.

    Yeah but he cant do it by himself its like 2015 again otherwise. Harden iso and nothing else working especially defense combine that with dumb turnovers and missed layups and we end up will barely make the playoffs first round loss to Utah or GSW. Its always been pretty easy early on to see what type of season the Rockets will have. I dont know where these "we will be fine" people are coming from. Usually when the Rockets look bad early they look bad all season. They need to fix this quickly.
