    i'm not saying i wanna pay him max money, but our PnR is noticeably worse when he doesn't play. his vertical spacing, his ability to catch a variety of passes in traffic, the ability to make a move after the catch. not a lot of bigs have all of that. i don't know what replacements are out there if we don't sign him. but there are probably reasonable facsimiles for half the price.

    Bad 1st half by Gordon, Ariza, Luc and Capela. These guys need to play smarter and harder. Losing to this undermanned clipper team would be sooo embarrassing.

    See how weak Capela is. 2 block shots which should have been 4 easy points. Is DJ had that ball right there no one is blocking him. Twice blocked but already like 6 easy points inside the paint. Capela is just too soft and gets it knock away or loses it. That’s what is frustrating about watching him. He should be better and do better but this is the nba. When u go soft that’s what happens

    We go as our stars go but we also go as Capela go and Capela had a bad second quarter there. He allows himself to get linked out there sometime. He make great strides and improvement every season though so we just have to hoe he keeps get better even after he gets paid but that play on the second quarter is why GSW beats us. I know he's having a good year but we need more outta Clint.

    This team looks horrible today. I understand the Rockets are minus Harden but we are against the Clips minus Rivers and Jordan.

    It was a matter of time before Green would start bricking everything

    Actually he DID. He came to the rescue for us in a few games last year when
    James and the rest of our offense was sputtering. Lou and the 2nd unit lit it up
    and won some games. He was streaky. Either clanking everything or swishing everything.
    I hated to see him go.

    We should probably do better than the Clippers G League team.

    Our defense sucks...I don't see the Rockets winning this game until they clamp down on defense. Too many open 3s and layups for the Clippers.

    Sounds a lot like that Pistons game without Drummond and Jackson.

    This team was amazing the first 20-25 games. They have been met the rest. No defense and very stagnant predictable offense
