    Thing with PJ is that hes forced to guard players who have 4-6 inches over him.

    The last thing you want to do right now is to pass to Green in a big situation.

    It is infuriating all the 2nd chance opportunities the Magic are getting. Unbelievable

    Its a bad match up for PJ. Usually he's stronger than the person hes guarding but Aaron Gordon might be stronger, same with Vuc, I really hate these guys.

    Down by 8 at the half, but you got to remember we were down by 16 at quarter time

    Harden and Faried came to play. Need one more guy to get going.

    Its gotta be EG....would be nice if it were Paul.

    They have one of the most efficient big men scorers in the league

    We have no one to guard him with

    Best defenders in the post are clearly Harden and Clint *Nene cant count cause hes 150 years old & hardly can jump anymore/play

    The Rockets just have that tendency to play down to their opponent...hopefully they come out with another mindset in the second half.

    Aaron looks good btw, going strong against PJ @D-rock

    PJ needs to be a few inches taller. Friar Tuck will meditate during halftime and figure it out, or rather Coach B will. Someone better! The Magic aren't chump change. They have some players I wish were wearing a Rockets uniform.

    This is why we need Capela back asap, opposing teams big men kill us on the boards and Tucker is a great defender but he can't guard 7 footers in the post :(

    Second chance points and size is killing us and they shooting lights out so I dont think its gonna continue the second half. We will get the W
