    3 of our 5 rotational players (wall, oladipo, boogie) are coming off major injuries. i expect that being down a player or 2 will be the norm this season.

    Somebody tweet Stone if he could send eric packing. We traded Harden already, might as well trade everyone from the last years roster

    Reserving judgment until Wall is back on the tank. Oladipo played as I anticipated the two of them plus Wood will be fun to watch. Our backcourt is really underrated on this board.

    Tucker needs to be traded to a contender and either use Cousins in the post or bench him. All these young guys like Tate and Mason why didn’t we sign a rookie big to help Wood?

    Good first game by Dipo. We need to figure out how to play better defense if we're going to march inferior offensive players out there. Easiest fix: start a point guard every game. Tate, Mason Jones or Wall should start every single game. Dipo is not a point guard to start games. He did okay towards the end when the defense was tired. Before that... Mason Jones please (or Tato).

    I think Tucker was told he’d be moved soon.

    Let's wait until he goes off for 30 or 40 a few games. It's possible.

    What the hell is Danuel up to these days? Lol. Did he have a non-documented outburst in the locker room and Silas also banished him.

    I know Silas says he is going through protocol now but geez he just disappeared.

    Time to move on from Nwaba only because I’m tired of the midget lineups. Harden is gone . Go get some 6’7 guys for Christ’s sakes. Trade Tucker so we can play kurucs

    Nwaba can’t continue to start if this squad has any chance to play team defense from the jump. He keeps getting lost on switches and for some reason has this weird habbit of looking up when the defense is behind him, which consistently leads to a wide open lane.

    Maybe the worst part of the Rockets losing: nobody cares. the NBA discourse has left us behind. We out here complaining amongst ourselves, and that is no fun. Harden is in Brooklyn and they dont even talk about the place he left, lol.

    smh, lol.

    House must have actually gotten COVID but he hasn't announced it to the world, as he is well within his rights to do.

    Can't think of any other explanation as to why he's been in the protocols for so long.

    Nwaba was good defensively in the first half. The starting 5 ended up being pretty positive all night. Tucker though has to provide at least a few points to help

    What's with Cousins thinking he's Steph Curry. His misses from threes and up close really hurt. Definitely need a PG to orchestrate the offense. I guess we're not winning the championship. You guys promised! It's going to be a long season. Wood is no fluke though. He can play.
