    Just like last year, the team just looks too good when Gordon is making his shots.

    We need to keep building this lead because our D is gonna fall apart once Clint goes out .... and that's coming from a guy who likes hartenstein

    It's not a zone. It's the same thing they've been doing except they are more selective with their switching. They always play man to man. How you play the pick and roll is totally different from whether or not you are playing man or zone.

    Defense looks a lot of better. The team just needs some confidence then we're out and running.

    Phantom foul on Capela. What a lousy call.
    Didn't even touch him, but they call it because it 'looked like' he did?

    Let's not pretend it's a mere coincidence that the Rockets are playing well on the road.

    I don't know what the deal is with playing at home, but both the Rockets and Astros have been trash at home.

    The problem is that MCW, Ennis, Chriss, Hartenstein, and Green are just straight scrubs. They all need to be replaced

    Coaching Common Sense, Clint Capela should never be used in switching defense while guarding perimeter guards. Because Carmelo, Tucker can't shot block or rebound at a high clip. Opponents constantly were doing this for easy layups, easy bench points. Clint should always be defending the paint throughout the game.

    D'Antoni took MCW out of the game it seems. Gordon is running the point.

    Somebody check if @Ray Parker is still alive after the last few minutes of basketball by Melo, the first after many weeks...he might have got an heart attack.

    Yeah, but the problem lies in all the games he is cold as ice. It's frustrating how streaky he is, especially when he takes like twelve 3's and makes 2. All those wasted shots someone could have made happen too often for my liking. Good part is, he has been off for so long he might actually be good a couple games.
