    Morey had draft Patterson\Morris\DMO\TJ , but nobody could become our PF. Then he signed Ryan 20m/year. Look at what Morey can do

    Rockets power forwards Anderson and Tucker are a big liability offensively.

    With a healthy roster (harden, mbah moute, nene) and a little effort on defense it very possible.

    It will be nice to see a healthy Hou vs GSW matchup.

    We can compete with them.

    Even with Durant, they won’t play much better than tonight.

    Pains me to say it, but GS is just better. They have more talent than any team in the league, by far. At times they looked like the Globetrotters out there. Gerald Green is just unconscious right now, but I wouldn't count on him being this hot long term. Ariza missed a lot of shots.

    I promise you .. . we go up 3-1
    You will see some of the most one sided reffing since the Kings Laker series in 2002 i think

    Yeah, but how much does adding him increase our chances of beating GS, and are those increased odds worth taking on a longer contract that is lowkey just as sh*tty as Ryno’s? Batum is Hornets fans Ryno, they hate that contract.

    Ryan Anderson took 5 shots missed 3. He definitely lost the game for the Rockets.

    I remember tucker scoring 20 and anderson 13 on opening night but after that game, they basically morph into a bone fide scrub on O

    If we're going to re-sign Paul, that means we need to win now, even if that means taking on a longer contract. If they want to win now, they'll have to eat that Batum contract. Only way to get rid of Anderson is to give up 1st round picks or taking on a longer bad contract.

    We've split 1-1 against GSW. Certainly doesn't say we don't belong in the same conversation.
    We play them only once more this season. That's in a couple weeks.
    Hopefully we'll have James back and if we're LUCKY Luc as well.

    I'm curious to see how things go with both teams healthy and fully stocked

    I’d rather give up picks and get his salary off our books completely than swap him with another albatross deal that’s even longer than his. Batum is owed around 3/76 after this year whereas Ryno is owed around 2/42. Imagine what it would take to get rid of Batum.

    I think what a lot of people don’t understand is that The snake KD plays defense while harden doesn’t sadly. I think he’s something like 2nd in the league in blocks so they weren’t just missing scoring tonight

    I got the sense they were coasting all night and then turned it on at the end to win.
