    DeMare is sitting on the bench and yet the senile coach refuses to lay him

    The worst start ever...0-17 and then almost 0-20.

    You cannot trust these guys at all. They could bomb in any quarter.

    Tucker is a 3 or a 4....he is not the small ball center we are looking for... you have to finish at the rim and be a threat to catch lobs.....6'8 should be the jumping point for center.....with shooting touch

    Tuck is old and tired.

    House and my man, Ben Mac, are p*****s, unfortunately.

    Frankly I am getting sick of Tucker laying eggs so frequently now.

    If he is not shooting open corner 3s then he is pretty much a dud and a liability on offense.

    He cant even finish around the rim.

    Layups, dude, layups....

    How many minutes a night does 35 year old 6’5” Tucker play defending 7 footers. People are surprised he has dead legs?

    To be fair, Ben and Danuel are not starting caliber material from what they've shown on the floor. PJ is playing out of position, carrying a known injury and too many minutes (should be on minutes restriction with a thousand lay-up drills every day).

    And some of us saw House for who he was from the get go. Is it a coincidence that he played his best basketball on a two-way contract? He sure did bamboozled Morey. He is a bench player that should be on a minimum contract.

    Mclemore and House should not be starting. That trash starting lineup MDA put out there tonight is what costed us the game.

    Ill be shocked if he’s resigned unless it’s a big time team friendly deal. I give him credit for being the backbone of our defense the last two years burn he’s been pretty worthless on offense this year amen even his D hasn’t been sketchy lately, he could just be exhausted though ...

    Did you watch a finals game where the Utah Jazz scored 59 points? I presume it’s not a record.

    Covington needs to be in starting 5.

    But Demarre needs to play more minutes than House.

    6'3 Westbrook/6'3 Rivers
    6'5 Harden/6'3 McLemore
    6'5 Tucker/6'6 House
    6'7 Covington/6'6 Carroll
    6'8 Green/6'9 Caboclo

    Gordon is out with sore knee, probably should not have rushed back so soon.

    Rockets should sign better 3ball shooters. Because our role players have gone arctic the last 4 games.

    6'3 Tyler Johnson (42" vert) - 35% 3P


    6'7 Ryan Broekhoff (6'10 wingspan) - 40% 3P


    6'6 Justin Anderson (7'0 wingspan 43" vert) - 38% 3P
