    I think it's more that Wood's replacement player is such a huge dropoff.

    Cousins has had some good nights but recently has been terrible.

    John wall needs a reality check, he is not a franchise player. The franchise player is Christian Wood.

    Is Rodion Kurucs the worst player in recent Rockets history? That is the only mystery I look forward to exploring with this team

    Will the NBA reward us with the #1 pick like they did for Cleveland when Lebron left and New Orleans when AD forced his way out.

    Somehow I don't see it happening

    Cousins must be injured. He did not try jumping the entire game.

    Does everyone understand now why Simmons + Thybulle + player + 3 picks is WORLDS better than Dipo + Exum + Kurucs + 4 picks????

    Defense matters.

    Especially on this team.

    only thing that can keep my sanity is that the nets are losing as well.

    gone r the days of boring wins, now every fking game requires a comeback feel good win or just a straight ass blasting.

    Cocky wall and cousins talking sht, can't even outperform a lazy ass harden. offense should literally b feed wood the ball when he gets back, cause this sht is sad.

    It's more than that, this team is severely lacking a decent backup big & a secondary playmaker. I don't think Oladipo/Wood are enough even fully healthy

    Boogie should be in the Big 3, not starting for an NBA team
