    Did we really? He scored 0 points today... imagine if we had him starting on our team. We might not have broken 70 points today with how bad our offense is.

    Who says he starts? Did you forget his rebound? He gave sengun trouble before he got hurt.

    Lol he woulda fouled out in 5 more minutes. Just saying we need a shooter badly. If you wanna say we messed up the pick dalton knecht or McCain I'm on board. I don't need another stiff to play center.

    We got destroyed against big teams last year like the Wolves. Yes we need shooting but we drafted a dude that is afraid to shoot.

    But we had Steven Adam's this year. He doesn't look healthy and isn't playing well but we were never gonna draft another center because of the trade me made. Hopefully Adam's starts playing better.

    I don't disagree I just don't think clingan was ever an option because we traded for Adams last year hoping he'd be our backup big. He's just been awful so far this year.

    What flashes has he shown? Beside the bulls game? He always pick up his dribble and he's scared. We would be even better if holiday was playing.

    Maybe we trade back and get a shooter? But what's done is done man now. Just gotta hope reed grows some balls. It just sucks when teams hunt him on defense.

    No sir. Make that 18 games. Still in those 18 games other rookies have been outplaying ours. It wouldn't be so bad if he were down in the G league playing like he should be.

    Clingan would have been the 1st seed unanimously if he had any sorts of Offensive game.

    Rockets would have no chance to pick him.

    Nah, I think the Rockets knew Adams was 70% done and his knee was never going to be 100%......they just did not tell us like always.

    The organization is just content running the corpse of Adams out there.

    How many medical cases in history do fans need to see that the Rockets have a problem with transparency and competence.

    If this was true why did we trade 3 second round picks to get him? Seems like he woulda failed his physical and we woulda sent him back.
