    Thorntons peformance tonight puzzles me even more why McHale didn't play him at all the first two games. He has been great not only in this game but also in the pre-season.

    He had to have been recovering from something, right? No reason why he couldn't get any minutes.

    Now we just need The Beard to get his confidence in his shot and we will be good.

    Not a surprise for most of us, Thornton is a very experienced shooter and scorer. Won't have a lot of nights like this, but he's capable and if you are getting nothing from the field from Ariza and Brewer you have to throw him out there and see if his shot is on.

    Finally the defense is back. This team is bad in offense when the defense is not functioning, because they can't run.

    Thornton and Harrell are making Brewer and Jones so expendable

    Thornton brings the shooting we need from the bench and Harrell is the perfect high energy with a nasty attitude big man.

    McHale will probably thank Morey for signing this Thornton guy before the game today.

    The balding brothers Chuck and Thornton so good. Chucks 6 minutes of Defense was majestic. Only the Rockets know how to use him correctly. I bet he is happy to be back.

    Awesome how Whiteside tried to back down Hayes and he just bounced off his chest. Hayes is the immovable object.

    Thornton is streaky. He will shoot you out of a game if he's cold and he plays ZERO defense. Brewer isn't expandable yet. Jones however doesn't deserve minutes

    Why is Harden shooting so atrociously? Is he not getting enough lift? Is it mental? Is he rushing it? His form looks normal, WTF is the problem?????
