    Dwight will never play a full season of games again, and I don't think the Rockets even want him to. I'm expecting 50 games plus playoffs.

    It's really hard for a team to play half the season without their 2nd best player then all of the sudden turn it on for the playoffs. I don't mind Dwight missing back to backs, but if he can't go out there for at least 60 games then it will be hard for us to be firing on all cylinders come playoff time. In my opinion.

    You're assuming that AD is somewhat similar in potential to each of those rockets

    AD is a proven superstar

    For all we know decker will probably be a scrub, tjones just a decent starter/solid backup, and dmo will likely never be an all star

    it's really simple. anthony davis has been injured in the past also quite a lot.

    Thank you for Capela, let's hope he's not bothered by anything. Brewer should take his rest. He only has one gear, no reason to get hurt now.

    Our offense will be very good but our defense is pretty worrisome.

    I know Dwight is not there but teams are just running and passing the ball up for easy baskets! Its been happening all preseason..

    Nah brah. New Orleans isn't going to trade AD for anything less than a package centered around Harden based off what we got. Let's see what Capela does this season then we can start making crazy comparisons between him and AD.
