    Our perimeter defense was just fine with
    Harden
    Rivers
    House
    Tucker
    That lineup + Capela beat GSW
    Why did we f##k this up? Get that lineup back. I don't give a damn if Paul is back or not. He sucks.

    I mean, it could work if we had Capela in there and maybe a more athletic wing. We need to put Gordon back on the bench because our bench gives us nothing.

    Maybe we should play smaller, try to put CP3 at the 5, now that he's fat it may work.

    How is it possible? Because we have a cheap owner that rather save money and leave them down in rio grande on vacation

    Please, someone stop this aberration! 83 points in a half? I never saw anything like this. It's a shame to see this team. This is unacceptable for a professional team in this league.

    even if capela was playing they would just move the ball around till they got the right switch on a midget.

    just like what the rockets used to do with jokic.

    Murph just said it our switching d is not working. It worked without cp3 during that harden stretch where he won player of the month twice.

    House would have matched some of the athleticism of the Nuggets.

    Today would have been a good night for the Green House effect.

    Because I almost said they were dumber than a sack of bricks but maybe I felt that was too harsh haha.

    House, we really do need him back in the line up. The guy was playing so well for us to just vanish him. It sucks, because it clearly hurt our depth and he did a really good job staying in front of his man and getting some rebounds.

    It's frustrating that the Rockets play these stupid games while we waste away an MVP season from Harden.

    The Nuggets were literally 2 points off from being top 4 of all time from most points in the 2nd quarter.

    After the Pelicans game this is how they respond... starting to see a careless team.

    Morey needs to use the draft picks to improve the team NOW. Harden ain't getting any younger. CP3 is on his last legs unless he finds the fountain.

    Chris Paul is not the problem on defense. Not even close.

    Irrelevant. Without someone over 6'8 we are done.

    I’m well aware, but I’d rather have a solid defense than have to rely on the team to score 118+ per game, which is not sustainable for most teams, including ours.
