    With all due respect, Nene's defensive play has fallen off a cliff this year in comparison to last season. I don't know what has happened. Maybe he's nursing a hidden injury? Or maybe there's problems at home? I have no idea. I just know this...Nene is substantially worse defensively this season.

    Nene's been injured and we have overused him at times and really Black is worthless. That is where the complaint belongs. If we can get Chandler if he is bought out I think that solves all the problems. Capela is not able to go 30-35 so we have a little different need than other teams. I would like to see IsoJoe come here if bought out. That gives us a professional scorer and ball handling type like Lou from last year and allows us to reduce the guard rotation minutes.

    Black needs to learn how to not suck first

    well we gotta start him somewhere. Just like we did capela. started out as a blowout sub in, look at him now. Have to give the guy a chance. he has the potential. just how fast can he pick up and learn is the question.

    Nene looked better earlier in the season but the added minutes has worn him out.

    I’m only ok with losing Anderson only ok
    With losing guys like ariza Gordon luc and pj or even Clint is if a big fish comes or a free bird. Any more free birds left @Codman?

    Yeah, Nene definitely looks far from being 100%, he's way more slow and less reactive than he was last season, and you can see it on both ends. I hate to say it cause i love him and i can't wait to have him back playing at this level, but as today in most of the games he looks a negative out there.

    @Codman: Are there any stretch 4's on the buyout market that may help us? Also, when might we see the first of your expected buyout guys arrive?

    He said that CP has a "couple" of guys that he's gonna get for us. Tyson Chandler and Arron Aflalo are the others. Plus a "buckshot", but I couldn't figure that one out other than a Bucks player.

    Or move him for someone he can use. Status quo is not a solution for a nicked up short rotation.

    There have been a lot of bright spots for the Rockets this year, but Tarik Black has been a big disappointment in my eyes. He was counted on to provide solid backup C minutes and really has played so poorly that coach has lost trust in him. We are seeing Anderson or PJ getting those minutes.

    Big problem for Black has been he was been horrible in the PNR with Harden. Continually misses passes. And defensively he is fouling too much.

    Apparently the consensus is that Aflalo is the Magic man.

    The Astros had a midseason sluggish spell. See how that turned out.
