    House and Caboclo can go...House hit his ceiling right before he signed that contract and Caboclo is 10 years from being 10 years away

    Uncle Jeff could have been used tonight...no one expected half of the team to be out because of covid

    Yeah, killed on the boards. Cousins should help with that at least because this is almost a bigger issue than the actual defense because even if they get a stop they can't finish the possession.

    Boogie has been a good rebounder even in his post-injury days.

    Bad match up for us now without Covington. Wood defensively cannot defend the Nuggets. Also the Rockets attempt to mesh different defenses with a short camp and several low IQ players (Wood/House) isn’t a recipe for success.

    I honestly don't understand what House is doing on this team. Shameful. I thought that after the incident in the bubble he would never wear the Rockets uniform again.

    Wood is going to be an All-Star level player, but he definitely needs to get stronger. He gets constantly boxed out on rebounds. Not sure if it's because he's so skinny or the lack of hustle from him. **** ... might even be both. But for now I hope it's because his conditioning is not there yet as he had a really long off season last year.

    Wall is one of the better defensive PGs out there. Maybe he's lost a step with his Achilles injury, but his instincts should still be there.

    Wood only has 3 rebounds.

    This guy is too weak to box out to get the board.

    Covington couldn't handle it either. It's a bad matchup for anyone that doesn't have a true big man at center. It would be a much better matchup if Boogie was available.

    Boogie is an excellent defensive rebounder, when we have a full roster and gel it should be pretty different.

    Is what it is, we had an overtime game, half a team and ran into a desperate Denver team who didn't have a win yet.

    Charge this one off, study film, practice team defense/rebounding and get ready for New Year's Eve.

    More like it was close because CJ went nuclear and doesn't normally do that... Harden has many games like that

    He's definitely better than Westbrook, but he's not going to help us where it matters..... in the paint. I feel it's going to be the same old story with us getting bullied in the paint and getting destroyed on the rebounds. Cousins will help, but I don't think he's that great in the paint.
