    For me, it depends. I have seen Mavs games recently where they looked terrible. Even worse than our terrible. Games where Luka was the only guy that was scoring.

    I think we have a shot if the guys besides Luka don't show up.

    We are pretty consistent at never having all our starters available to play.

    As we "might" get Wall back, Dipo is out? Nice.

    Is future Rockets Legend Kevin Porter Harden Jr going to be available?

    Silas needs to be smarter, rest Wall as much as you overworked him.

    Who said anything about starting him?

    I just want to see some meaningful minutes from a + player who is an actual playmaker on a team devoid of playmakers.

    That Boogie is leading team in assists last few games is ridiculous.

    Good. Stupid LP doesn’t show NBATV games anyways.

    and they said last night the game time was change to allow for more time for Covid protocols, which makes no damn sense — just show 30 min up earlier...

    Sadly, I have adjusted my expectations (for now) in expecting us to lose more games than we win. For me, maybe not amazing, but certainly surprising if we win tonight.

    The 2005-06 season was the last where the Rockets had a losing season.

    Same can be said of Silas and the Rockets
    Which is why I am not stressing too much.

    Good news for Rockets, both Porzingas and Kleiber out/gimpy.

    Rockets should be competitive at least especially playing small ball.

    The tweet you posted said: "@masonjones2 should be the starting PG for the Rockets with John Wall out"

    I understand, but my post was Mason Jones should get.playing time at least.

    Rockets lack point guards but dont want to play one that they have who is uninjured.

    Jones is a +player and is deserving of minutes.

    Boogie as primary playmaker almost gave away the last game because of his inefficiency and turnovers.

    Jones has trouble creating shots for himself and others because he lacks nba athleticism.
