    I’m just ready to see more efficient Hoosier passing style offense and less dribble dribble dribble shoot isolation style offense

    Amiright?

    I think we should tank and fire Moorish.

    Lavar Ball is doing a circus tour and should be open for auditioning when he hits town.

    It's amazing what injuries do to a team.

    He wants to make sure he is 100% untradeable at the deadline, or at least 3 first rounders instead of just 2 to get rid of him. =) No chance for buyout until next year I guess? Maybe we could pay 50% and then give him the rest of his contract in Landry's gift cards?

    This current slump goes beyond the injuries.

    That will happen when you stop caring about defense

    But it doesn't happen without injuries. The Rockets don't have enough depth to sustain several injuries.

    You really believe that the root cause of our struggles isn't injuries? Injuries lead to the following:

    - Production hits to both offense and defense
    - Changes to substitution patterns and lineups
    - Increased minutes to core players which leads to increased fatigue

    Moute returning alone will boost us into the territory of a top 10 defense, not even mentioning the amount of time off that Ariza, Tucker, and Gordon will get seeing as he has can guard positions 1-3 and is the lynchpin of our switch D when any wing or guard sits.

    We need more passing, more cuts, and less dribbling.

    James is affecting the defense, telepathically.

    The culture has already been established ;)

    Anderson is a genius.

    Tank trade value by slumping thus cannot be moved and can stay with his bestie, Eric Gordon

    We've had injuries obviously, but most of those losses we were still far more talented than the other team. I have no idea why we're struggling so much, but the root of it is we stopped caring about defense towards the end of the streak, and it keeps getting worse every game.
