    Few notes on the loss:
    -When we were up 15 or so Harden decided to jack up a couple long range threes. Not sure why.
    -Second unit decided to go away from Wood for 3 straight sets instead of running through him in 3rd quarter
    -Bad pick and roll defense, interior D and mental lapses cost us.

    Which missing starter is going to help the paint defense?

    I wish we had Coach Jeff B as the defensive coordinator. Defense looks terrible.
    Biggest plus points are Harden and Wood. James has great trade value, but he might stay if Aaron Gordon can be acquired. I think we just might have the assets to get it done with some luck.

    Very little practice.

    The defense is what suffers most.

    I'm hopeful that Harden will mesh with John Wall. The Blazers wouldn't have won if he played in this game.

    One stop at end of OT was all Rockets needed.

    It's so frustrating that Harden doesn't even want to give this group a chance.

    At full strength there are some very unique possibilities. Wood looks amazing, even better than I expected and I always loved the signing.

    He sounded like he was committed to the team during his postgame interviews.

    And especially how he played, he could not be more engaged.

    You know what they say about assume.

    House is and will always be a liability. Not very intelligent to say the least, and has hurt this team numerous times in the past (on and Off the court with his decision making).

    It’s unfortunate he’s the best SF we have,

    Sucks I wanted Silas to get his first W....unfortunately as I mentioned earlier in the week, that may not come till Wednesday when the calvary is back.

    ...don’t see Denver starting 0-3 against a 7 man rotation that just went to overtime.

    But Houston gets a lead in 1st quarter, I think beginning of 3rd quarter has problems which cause the lose
