    I think Morey did that because he believed Thomas Robinson had some super star potential.

    So are we going to replace Wood with another player in the interim?

    Can we call up KPJ from the G-League?

    I'm surprised we haven't signed another big man yet. We're asking A LOT of Cousins right now and he's just not there yet.

    I rather give the minutes to Jones and see what we have their. Bring up Porter slow and humbly. Make him earn his spot with the rockets

    Yes.

    The entire court floor is changed.

    positives. Wall, Gordon, and Nwaba were good.

    My only take from tonight's game is that Cousins needs to take anger management therapy. With Wood out, he is the only big man in the team at C. Zaps the momentum completely out of the game with his temper-tantrums. Not saying the Rockets lost because of him but it was a winnable game if composures were in check. Also, Nwaba really needs to get more playing time over Tucker and Dipo, who really needs to get his sh*t together!

    Dipo not looking like a supermax guy tonight. Hope he realizes that

    Minus those needless techs and fouls, this would have been a tie game in the regular period

    Cousins also needs to stop trying to drive to the hoop. It's such a low percentage play.

    12/42 in Oladipo's last 2 games. 28%. With Woody out, Oladipo can't be scoring 12 points. Come on' man.

    Gordon has become the most reliable player on the team. I love how consistently good he's been this year. It's great to see him become the guy you can count on day in and day out. He gets my game ball tonight.

    Oladipo on the other hand.....well....sometimes he drives me crazy with his off and on good and really bad looking plays. He just seems so wild at times. He makes me want to switch his minutes with Nwaba so often.

    I noticed PJ changed shoes before the half. From black to neon yellow. Bad decision. Dang it guys, wear some shoes that look good with the uniform please.

    Best matching shoes with uniform go to Gordon, Wall, and Tucker before he switched to neon yellow

    Gaudy color shoe award: Tucker & House
    Tucker's neon yellow and House's neon green shoes just scream "80's" and blacklights.

    Bad hairstyle awards: House & DeRozan

    Worst crash of the game award: Cousins sliding on his butt and slamming his head into the wood panel.

    OK, back to seriousness. That's enough losing. Time to regroup and get back to winning again.

    Miss ya Wood!

    Tough loss, but under the circumstances they played hard and were in it til the end. When we have to play Boogie extended minutes it’s trouble. It will be interesting to see if Stone makes a move for more size anytime soon. PJ should not be starting for us anymore, like the guy, but we need to go ahead and find that future PF.

    Seems Gordon has put in his mind he wants the 6th man of the Year award
    I truly don't think he wants to start

    Agreed. I don't expect a championship this season
    BUT I WANT THE YOUNGUNS to get some experience

    Them learning is more important than Dipo working on his next contract

    It's awesome to see nwaba come alive. It just sucks how little we have seen the team fully healthy bc they are so fun to watch.
