    RELAX: It's just one game.

    Still best record in the NBA

    Brewer took it out on Mike D tonight with a career night

    Seriously, LMAM, Harden's knee, CP3's knee, Clint's...multiple injuries...is this team even going to make it to the all-star break?

    Well cp3 needs to be healthy for us to have a chance, let him rest, give everybody rest if necessary, it's still 2017

    1. I hate the Refs - Seems like the Refs at home are worse than bias refs away
    2. No Capela, No Luc and only Part of Paul and a hampered HArden .. . .
    3. Anderson . . . .. Dude gotta wake or he on the Trading Block again
    4. Dantoni - I know it sucks but you have to play a few more folx. Harden going 24 minutes in the second half . .. . . not good. Anderson was a -27 . . . TRY SOMEONE ELSE!!!

    Rockets ideally need another rotation caliber player at the 4 spot. Anderson is very dangerous in certain match ups but half the time he is a non factor. PJ Tucker isn’t enough. Morey has rolled with what he has because he wanted to maintain flexibility to make a move or two at the deadline. I really hope he is able to add someone like Joe Johnson as a buy out candidate or someone through trade.

    Harden Ariza and EG were good but everyone besides them was putrid

    GS is still the team to beat, they are resting everybody and still 2 games behind. Coach should forget about the 1st seed and develop some depth.

    I've been recording everything. They haven't. "Fawning" is not the term I would use. Talking about how the Rockets have to do it in the Playoffs, yes.

    10/12M in outgoing salary first, that alone would be a problem for us, after that maybe a couple of 2nd rounders would get it done but well...

    Joe as a weapon would be excellent here, especially in the playoffs.

    He'd be a 2-3-4 for us. I doubt he agrees to a buyout, he's in this for the $$$ and nothing but.

    How many minutes do you expect Paul to play? He's been playing about 34, and no more than 36.

    Are we supposed to restrict him to 20-25 minutes?

    Ryan Anderson useless as usual. When did Capela did hurt again? He looked fine by the end of last game...Sitting to protect his upcoming max contract..

    Refs got Lakers in the bonus early every quarter...

    I'm disappointed, but not disheartened. We were without 2 of our 9 man rotation & lost 1 to injury & 1 to fouls in the 4th quarter. Give the Lakers credit, they were on fire & played harder than us for 3 quarters. We will survive & start winning again, if we have enough players to suit up.
