    We are doomed in the playoffs without him. I’m so sad.

    Rockets medical staff always does this. Day to Day turns into 12 month injury.

    Oh well. Rockets now know they must evolve and be a different type of team.

    I do think this is unfortunate but I do think this might help us evolve.

    Capella might not bring the exact same benefits, but I still think brings us The same amount of value.

    Time to trade Adams. we can’t let both atoms and possibly Fred sit all year and let that room go to waste.

    Same. Feel bad for Adams but this offense will not work in the playoffs.

    The Clint signing is looking very wise in retrospect. I hope the Rockets can pick up another big man in the buyout market.

    It doesn't work, we won't have enough players on the roster. If you're sending out 6, you need to bring 6 back.
