    Sure would’ve been nice to have someone like Taj Gibson to guard AD or Randle last night

    We needed him desperately last night. Or someone of his ilk.

    Randle killed us last year as a Laker. Pair him with AD? I guess this prison-pounding should have been expected. But that doesn't allay my dismay. Five months, Rockets-free, and we come back to this? Our front line of Clint "Thanks-for-the-Money" Capela, Carmelo New-Rocket, and PJ isn't gonna cut it (forgive the knee-jerk reaction).

    Taj Gibson isn't moving the needle.

    I like how you completely ignored the cool stories that Melo is promoting and jumped straight to JB liked the post.
    Made me laugh.

    After we go 0-2 on Saturday, I can see Morey really pushing for Butler. Especially if Miami is truly done pursing as been reported. If Jimmy is still a Timberwolve on October 31st, he’s ours.

    Kind of getting the feeling the Rockets really need Butler to make sure we are better on D this season.

    Agree with your statement.

    Yea he did last year and kuzma’s open 3s. Also the pels should or could have won 2 games last season against us. Every time we played them we played like this.
    Is like their coach has the perfect defensive scheme against us.



    This game was lost in the 2qtr or maybe even the 1st. They got open shots all night long with Capela over playing or over helping at times or us trying to double team AD half way. All day you saw a help defender being stuck between trying to help double team or sticking to his guy. Then resulting in a wide open shot. Our defense was wack, it was trash last night. I’m glad we lost, maybe this way they will see they can outscore the other team if they don’t play at least some defense. It’s the first game of the season so I’m not worried.
