    Mike D believes if you are healthy, you are playing. Tell him @J.R.

    It's like when you accidently hit the like button on a Facebook picture posted multiple years ago of a girl you knew in high school wearing a bikini.

    With Gordon out, I wonder why Austin Rivers hasn't been playing more minutes? Last year, when either CP3 or Gordon was unavailable for a game, Austin generally took his place in the rotation and played starters' minutes. It's a shame that the Rockets are playing their starters so heavily when guys on the bench like Rivers could be playing more.

    Rotation tryouts and buyouts for deadline season.

    Ironically this is when the team gels chemistry-wise only for FO to optimize.

    At least they won't be able trap Harden at half-court with EG spotting up at 29+ feet. The spacing will be much better.

    EG is going to be a very welcome addition. We don't have to worry about him...quite the opposite.

    We need a couple of forwards. (3/4 and 4/5)

    But he brings it in the playoffs every year too, on both ends.

    At least until he starts bricking and they sag off of him ... I’m hopeful he comes back and can get into game shape fairly quickly and is able to take a lot of the pressure off Russ (and some of our other habitual bricklayers) to hit all those open 3s because if he doesn’t ... yikes !!!!

    When yikes is 21-10, you know your fan-base is spoiled...

    Some of you guys must not have been around for the Juwan Howard years. :eek:;)
