    Juck the Fazz/Spazz

    In the past, if we hit the 3 pters it was an easier game. I can't really say.

    I do know about Knight. Knight is not better than MCW. It is time to make trade.

    Elfrid Payton signed 3 million a year, and Randle 8 million a year.

    Payton is 24 yrs old and Randle is 23.

    If we have enough depth, we could be 4th seed and still go to the finals.....Health is key!
    after Feburary
    Rest Paul 15 games
    Rest Gordon 10 games
    Rest Tucker 5 games

    Now we know who Corey Brewer gave his pics too.

    We should sit Harden out this game to rest up for the playoffs.

    If we lose..I blame DanToni for this O’Brienesque move...o_O

    The Rockets on Sunday suffered their first injury of the regular season to a rotation player with starter James Ennis III going out with a strained right hamstring.

    With Eric Gordon already in the starting lineup while Chris Paul completes his two-game suspension, Michael Carter-Williams will likely start Wednesday against the Utah Jazz, Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said.

    Coming back from a sore right knee, Carter-Williams has been playing with a limit of 15 to 18 minutes per game. But with Paul out, Carter-Williams also plays as a backup point guard behind James Harden.

    D’Antoni said he envisions Carter-Williams playing five minutes each half at point guard with the rest of his limited time as the starter at small forward before Gerald Green and possibly rookie Gary Clark check in. Ennis is expected to also be out on Friday against the Clippers. The Rockets will then be off until next Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.

    The injury comes at a difficult time with Paul out, forcing the Rockets to play without two starters, and with Carter-Williams working to adjust to his role with the Rockets in limited playing time after missing the final three preseason games with the knee issues.

    “He understands what we’re doing, but to react in an instant makes it a little tougher,” Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said. “Just got to get him confidence and just play through it. He’s fine. We have a lot of guys – not just him – trying to figure it out. Then the injuries come. Yeah, the NBA is unforgiving. The injuries. The suspension. You have to deal with it. You have to get through it. We know the issues. Let’s see if we can solve it.”

    Rockets center Marquese Chriss was upgraded to questionable with a sprained left ankle. Nene, who has not played this season because of tightness in his right calf, was scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday after feeling soreness following his workout on Sunday.    ​

    Maybe Clark will get significant minutes for the first time and surprise MDA with his defense, hitting some threes, and moving well without the ball. I sure hope so. The season has gotten off to a weird start. I'm not about to panic, not yet, but Clark showing up and doing what he was able to do during preseason would sure make me feel a hell of a lot better about things.

    I seriously don't understand how there's still people that thinks Melo can play the 3 in 2018.

    They said we have a better team this year. It's game 4 and we have MCW as a starter. Please wake me up.

    Melo wants to get traded?

    This guy says

    Dang, Melo can't even start in front of Williams....Yeah I don't see this experiment lasting throughout the whole season...he'll eventually want to get traded or he will get released.

    There is a thread in the GARM called Ariza sucks, you can go there and remind yourself how your memory is deceiving you.
