    Also I’m not surprised. I expect this after these back to back versus the same opponents.

    In the NBA, point guards are a major pre requisite to be competitive. You have to have a guy that can get people in their spots

    What do people think the O/U is for shots in the second half for Wood?

    Should be set at 15. And Overs.

    Probably will be set at 7. And Unders.

    Just what in the world.

    Because he’s not a maximum player. I don’t mind keeping him but not for no max. Hell no.

    Start by funneling offense thru Wood.

    Or continue playing the hot hand, EGo-Boogie line up.

    Dipo iso is not a good plan.

    He fooled me in his Rockets debut with all the PnR with Wood.

    What adjustments? Hit the open shots and stop the turnovers. As simple as that. Okc played with more injury but we missed a lot of makeable shots.

    Yeah, pride steps in. It's hard to be blown out twice b2b by same team unless Harden is sabotaging you to make a point against the #1 team in the conference.

    If the Rockets don't get it together that win streak is history.

    Oladipo is not a max guy. He's the 4th best player on this current team behind Wood, Wall and Gordon.

    Well they are bringing him along slowly because of his injury history. The Rockets really need another point guard.

    Kind of gives you a good indication how the playoffs would be. Doesn’t look good for how it would go for the Rockets at the moment

    Exactly. We need to see more games, but I suspect this is a middle of the pack team. Definitely missing Wall and Nwaba tonight.

    You said it, not me.

    But we all think it.

    Especially on nights like these.

    He hasn't been playing this well in a few years, IMO. The guy looks to be in great shape, which likely has something to do with it. I also think he's glad that Harden's address is somewhere else. Nothing to base that on except a feeling.

    I think we'll be a different team in the second half. Sure hope so, except for the jersey.

    Do we let Tate run the point? He's shown he can do it.
