    5th seed would be fantastic but we just gotta hide from Dubs and Spurs in the 1st round.

    Once the bench gets going on a consistent basis this team will be able to make some noise. Can't wait to see Andrew get some minutes.

    Mavs are on the verge of missing the playoffs. Next 8 games they play the Warriors twice, Cleveland, in Charlotte, and the Blazers twice. Brutal and they've already lost 4 in a row and are down tonight.

    The sixers are trying to lose.

    The Rockets were contenders before the season.

    The juxtaposition is shocking

    Season starts now!!!



    Beasly and Kj have cracked the rotation. Gouldlock will impress next game. The rockets will have a full 13 man rotation by the start of the playoffs!

    yea and I also think the Rockets snuck up on most teams last year but not this year...if Beasley can keep his head on straight, DMO can play some quality minutes coming off the bench the Rox might start paying attention for 48 minutes in games for a change..might actually start enjoying themselves out there versus hating it..guess we'll see

    Bad matchups defensively. Athletic active bigs when they don't have okafur.

    Another good job by Coach JB to go small ball when it counted. It can't be an easy job trying to compensate for the holes in the 4 spot.

    Giving KJ McDaniels, who was probably amped to play against his former team, some playing time was also another smart move.

    His career looks over, he is

    S
    L
    O
    W

    and seems to have lost almost everything, maybe it is his will or he is satisfied, but he is not even as good as last year.

    That is probably the reason why he didn't work out well for the Clippers, and thus, why the Clippers were willing to give him back to the Rockets.

    Too bad we couldn't get our starters some rest.
    But there is NO resting with this team.

    No lead seems to be safe. Thought we were going to blow them out
    but we let them right back in it.

    It's going to mess with Durant's head when we beat OKC with Harden and Beasley.
