    Let's see if the Media gives *huge* credit to Westbrook for winning with no help...fawning over him.

    In a loss, they'll probably talk about how Westbrook tried his best, and is such a warrior who loves the game; "How can you not be a fan." Or they will say how it's understandable Lebron gave up in the 4th quarter being surrounded with undrafted players like House and Clark, and NBA journeymen like Ennis, Rivers and Green, and a broken down big like Nene, and PG like Knight ... with 10 stories about how Morey needs to get Lebron some help.

    Knight can't do anything. Sit him out. Even MCW would in theory be a better option, because he is fit.

    Theory was proven false when he absolutely killed spacing when he was in the rotation. Plus his defense sucked. Glad we don't play him anymore.

    I'm glad too. Knight is just not healthy unfortunately.

    I just hope this day to day stuff will not turn into a chronic situation.
    Get healthy soon Eric. We all want you to succeed.

    At least when Knight was in there he would take the three point shot. MCW hesitates.

    Yo ! That's record breaker three taker MCW to you !

    All joking aside , MCW looked totally serviceable in the preseason ....which was a surprise to be sure . Maybe now that's the team is rolling a bit , he can find a niche

    He just needs to do what rivers is doing for our team right now. Drive and kick. And defend

    MCW was given offseason orientation, training camps, weeks of minutes, in shape and being talked up by the organization so he had everything going for him.

    Knight might improve. The likelihood of Knight improving (no matter how small) is certainly greater than the likelihood of MCW improving.

    Knight doesn't play within the offense. He barely has any idea what's going on out there.

    Not ideal but sounds like it could have been worse.

    Injury (bad) luck might be the reason this era's Rockets doesn't do much damage. It's really unfortunate. Some of our top key players are fairly injury-prone, and it seems like only a matter of time.
