    The Rockets are in 13th place in the West, and unless they do something to get better, they would be lucky to get in to the playoffs

    Whoa! Hot take here!

    Basically the video is saying we need an athletic PF to help with defensive rotations, and box outs against offensive rebounds.

    Using PJ Tucker at the PF position reminds me of our old constant struggle to fill that position with a player with a taller PF

    Well, even though I agree most ESPN are/are forced to be morons, I agree with this guy's comments on this one. We are in desperate need of a SF/PF able to hit a 3, run and get rebounds. And Capela/D'antoni/Jeff B. have got to figure out how to react to those picknrolls. Most of his points are valid...

    That guy is usually pretty good but his offensive critique was b.s. Harden should stop doing the things that make him special? I call b.s. This whole analysis boils down to "hit shots and we're better than when we don't".

    Great stuff coach... for me to poop on.

    I’m so surprised how much Capela has fallen off.

    As long as Harden is healthy they will make the playoffs.

    Basically, Rockets didn't work this summer and came into the season expecting to pick off where they left off and instead realized it doesn't work that way.

    Capela's PnR D has definitely gone down

    Is it because their record sucks a third of the way into the season?

    Yea. Wasn’t that fun. 8th seed and having Golden State take us out like a sack of trash in 5 games? If we are in for the same result this year wake me up when the pitchers and catchers report.
