    I don't like the free flowing offense.

    I think we will be more effective spamming PnR like last year.

    Also our defensive focus needs serious attention.

    Harden played big minutes last year too. Like it or not, Harden is the engine. He will have to play at an MVP level to win every year he is a Rocket.

    Difference between 35 a game and 40+

    I'm sure he's looking on the horizon for upgrades. Give Morey credit, he always does he due diligence and swings for the fences. I'm expecting a move for a big time defender before the season's over.

    Man this team doesn’t look at all like last years.

    I’ve seen enough of MCW this year.

    Says who? He gives points right back with his bad defense and bad passes. He needs a 40 point game to offset his bad attributes

    I don’t like how high scoring this season has been so far. You’ll have too many 20 point scorers who are actually playing awful think they’re playing well

    Really hope it is just early season rust. But, yea, just does not look like a special team this year. Last year they looked better. I wonder if Ryno starting actually stretched the floor more and gave James and CP3 more space. That space does not look to be there this year. Lobs to Capella not there.

    His on-ball defense is good, though. Did you see him force two LeBron misses in a row at the end of the half? That happened, too.

    Lakers are considerably better than last year.

    If Rockets played like this against the pelicans they would’ve won.

    I’m more incessed about the defense

    It’s the 2nd game of the season haha. So much complaining already. Wait 10-15 games and see where we are guys. There’s a lot of new faces.. it isn’t going to click immediately.

    imo CP and Harden are untouchable, everyone else should be available to move in any trades..

    MDA should not pair MCW with Harden, but CP3 instead.

    MCW is always on the move, he should play much better with CP3.
