    I don't know, it's hard to tell his vertical because he doesn't need it, by jumping inches off the floor he can get blocks.

    I don't think he's ready but...Ryan Anderson was trash out there at center tonight, sometimes it's good to just try something as Walton proved tonight by throwing Sewer in there and it worked.

    He wasn't guarding Kuzma, I stopped reading the rest of your post after that.

    Frankly speaking, they haven’t accomplished anything. It’s freaking December, man. What are you expecting? People to declare the Rockets the favorites?

    Laker fan joined the forum a week ago?
    Your comments about "Houston" and "they will struggle" prove you are not a Rockets fan and nothing more than a troll on this forum
    It's one loss. We were without some key players. We'll get over it
    Glad you Lakers fans can celebrate this one win. They need something to cheer about

    Please dude, some of your points have some merit - albiet how knee jerk and hyperbolic you can be - but dial it down.

    You are making this place ****ing unbearable.

    How about devote half of your attention hating the best player in the league this season to mr $20 million Anderson?

    This is a loss. Warriors lost to Lakers when they won 73 lol.

    Get some perspective everyone please. This place is turning into a farking joke.

    .....Do you know how many times it is a single players responsibility to do something as fundamental as close out OR get back on defense?

    Harden failed to do either of those things for pretty much the entire game.

    If you go back and watch that early 9-0 run, Harden was the reason for all of it. Then bad defensive possession after possession throughout the rest of the first half. Harden was playing mind-numbing defense that entire first quarter. From that point the Rockets margin of error was effectively killed by a bad offense like LA.

    Another thing: Guess who the Brewer got his first couple buckets on? No one...Well maybe Harden if you consider being 5 feet away with a hand down as 'defending'. That and the disgraceful hand-down blow-by he allowed.

    Wait, so when the Rockets win you see on average about 50-55 pages on the game thread, yet when they lose or struggle there’s at least 65-70 pages? Why??


    Seems like some folks here enjoy the rockets losing more than them winning

    Hope they properly mention injuries.

    Wouldn't bet it, though.

    Harden in a shooting slump is probably not even better than Brewer, considering how much points he gives up on the defensive side of the ball
