    Yes and that's not a knee jerk reaction to this game. Just a damn fact!

    How many weeks until Capela gets back? I'm all for another Big Man, but I think we're going to need to find someone willing to not play that much and really only cover injuries (basically another Nene).

    Bad defense today. Eric Gordon was NOT going to help that. Most he could have done was give fresher legs for everyone else and hit a couple more shots.

    The no defense very much seems a worn legs issue, not really a "lazy team" issue.

    The fact that Rubio has 15 assists tells you everything you need to know about our defense.

    If we're not going to win, let's try to get it as close as possible.

    That fumble out of bounds on that break sums this game up perfectly...Let's just try and forget this game existed.

    Towns is their best player and he was beast on the glass tonight. Rockets lost this game because they couldn't get a rebound or a stop. Tired legs, and lack of bench depth with Capela and Ego out. It's not the end of the world, time to start a new streak and get some revenge against Memphis.

    Thanks for proving that someone can be an optimist and a wet blanket at the same time. :p

    In spite of all the reasons that this was such a loseable game, I still maintain that this team needs another big rebounder to throw out there (even with Capela).
