    Hopefully Nene is not already ailing.
    He should be in this game. Season starts in a week

    Corey Brewer is so bad at basketball that it physically hurts watching him.

    Without Beverley starting (moving Gordon in the lineup), Rockets really don't have too much on the bench they can count on. Would sure be nice if they could package 2 or 3 guys for a single upgrade, but we need that every year this time of the preseason.

    Yeah, I would agree. As much as I want to be (really, really want to be), I'm not a K.J. McDaniels believer. He's got the athleticism that makes you dream of his potential, but I just haven't seen the lockdown defensive ability that we hope/project for him. We'll see though ... never know when a player can just turn the corner.

    Harrison Barnes is atrocious. 94 million dollars to most likely be Justin Anderson's back-up.

    Yeah, that's why i'd still like to see Gordon coming off the bench, if i'm MDA i give a chance to KJ at this point, the kid is playing ok and under control enough to have a chance.

    KJ has 7 boards, a block, and a steal.....how is he not playing ahead of Brewer? I'm not saying he's the next big thing or anything like that, but damn, he's arguably the best SF on the roster when Ariza can't hit a 3.

    When Curry was down for a significance of the Play Offs, Thompson did pick up the slack. The thing is the Warriors system makes Klay Thompson look like an efficient scoring machine, as well as part time cutter, rebounder etc etc.. The Rox piss poor coaching contributes to the awful team chemistry etc and ultimately puts a super burden on Harden. Yes Harden is the better player but had an awful organization to work with. With that said, he was snub for whatever reason because he clearly was still a top 3 player in the league that didn't make a single All NBA Team for whatever reason.

    And this is something alarming to look at, for whatever reason, the coaching ghosts of McHale and Bickerstaff still remain. Why????

    Maybe it's Morey, I don't know, I just can't imagine there are that many NBA coaches that think Brewer belongs on a basketball court.

    I like the way Gordon is moving though. Dude looks strong and quick on offense. He's way too slow to guard the point guards, though.

    Ennis looks ok. I think Morey will take the 4 year option.

    Draymon had the best plus minus when curry went out, in fact the warriors defense got BETTER in the rockets and blazers series with livingston at point. Thats why they went 7-1 without the uniamous mvp lol

    as you saw in game 5 of the finals without draymond they aint nothing
