    I may get some hate for this, but can we give House a little love? I think we may need his offense down the stretch.

    Also anyone who is surprised by Gordon is silly. Like I said after last game Yeah he is a good player but incredibly streaky so you really cant count on him to be a star or closer night after night you dont know what he's gonna do lol

    And Tucker's defense on Lillard the whole game got them this win.

    Seeing Silas making adjustment on defensive end was a thing of beauty. Those timely doubles on Lillard never happened during MDA era.

    They don’t in a traditional sense. They don’t have a top 5-10 player on their roster. It will likely hurt against true elite teams... but this team has been thrown together on the fly and is playing well. I’m not sure why Smith thought it was of significance.... the Rockets are rebuilding and competing.

    With this logic, even Cousins 6 points or Gordons 8 points were critical for winning us the game.
    Not questioning his ability, but Rockets for the most part were defending and contesting all his shots and he was making the most difficult ones. It was like CJ when we played Blazers last where he could not miss a shot! Some players just get on a hot streak with back-to-back shots whether it was with him or any Rockets players. Luck does play some role with such streaks at times.

    LOL welp, Nwaba 2 points. Tate two points. Both had a lower plus minus tonight than Tucker, both played worse defense.Do you have any more questions? Like I said, the reason his advanced stats are so low is because we arent generating corner threes where Tucker excells at. Our offense is trash.

    I'm fine moving on from PJ and also good reducing his playing time, but he was a +3, even though he was part of the reason we were down big to begin with. You would think he would of been a negative in that department if he was that worthless.

    I get it's a simple stat but it does help gauge his value on the court.

    I mean if we could find someone better, I am all for it.
