    Capela has dominated the Warriors this season.

    DD being the voice of reason.

    The Rockets will be fine if we can get some health and chemistry on our side.

    True, but Clint will be out awhile, and that game just showed how desperately we need a younger Nene big man type to back up Clint and take care of business defending, rebounding, and blocking shots at the rim. CP3 coming back will only make us smaller than we already are.

    I agree. Also, seems like when the 3 ball is not falling, none of our players outside of Harden have a backup plan. Can't shoot a midrange jumper or get a layup to save their life.

    I woke up thinking about how Brewer was such a total bleeping jerk last night. I can't believe I used to defend him and stick up for him in here. I mean he was just like an immature skinny big mouth punk on a school ground. Add in Embrid, the "Donkey of the Eastern Conference" and I now have a team I despise as much as the Warriors.

    What an ugly, ugly game, one I'm more than happy to put in the rear view mirror. The ugliest was Brewer, who was a piece of s*** on the court with 2 skinny arms and 2 skinny legs. I had these terrible urges during the game. If Nene had simply broken the guy in half at some point, I likely would have applauded. It's not fun feeling that way. When we play them again in Houston on March 8th, I hope we do it with a complete and healthy roster. It will be time for some payback.

    Harden need Cp3 and Capella back in the worst ways.... Rockets are better than a majority of the teams without those two... but they arent better than the elite team.

    I was frustrated by the Nets loss. But this one was likely. Embiid is just a BRUTAL matchup considering the state of the team. And then you throw in the HORRIBLE officiating in this game and THEN the poor shooting by the role players. It was over.

    Glad the Rockets got Faried. Onto the next game.

    The only thing more offensive about Brewer last night than his attitude was his disgusting pube beard. With the game as it was, it would have been worth the ejection and fines for one of our guys to just go out and wax it right off of him in the middle of play.

    We lost that game because there is no one else that's a threat on the Rockets outside of Harden.

    Add back CP3 and Clint, and we may see a different game. Let's see how it goes on March 8th.

    Also, we aren't liked to play the Sixers after that until next year. The biggest concern for the Rockets is whether or not Cousins' achilles will hold up. That team is just unfair.
