    The amazing offense was built on talent

    Same for defense and them talent dudes be hurt

    Meanwhile, the offense guys still here

    Face it, until the defense guys get back they need to ramp up the offense as they don't have the defensive talents

    The lack of depth is concerning. The lack of focus is disconcerting. Seems Rockets feel the refs are the problem and not their crappy effort on the defensive end.

    I hope CF doesn't overreact to a loss on Christmas to OKC but it'll probably happen.

    Lack of depth. Morey and the coach. Think about playoff, if we meet spurs we might get hurt. Lack of depth is not easy to beat Warriors then we waste this year with cp3

    Three of our better defenders were out . . .. that is the answer period

    If Luc was checking those perimeter players . .. do they still go off??? NO!

    Rockets got lit up by Portland and New Orleans back to back before Luc, Paul, or Capela went down.

    Rockets defense in December was bad from the very start.

    Rockets are injured and some players aren't naturally defensive minded.

    These two days off before Xmas will serve us well, physically and mentally.
