    Boogie. I really hoped he had something left, but he didn’t show it tonight at all. What an awful game from him!

    That’s every team. Nobody talking about Miami losing either and they were just in the finals.

    it’s the nba. If you aren’t the Lakers or a top 3 contender nobody cares. This ain’t the NFL . The nba is A casual’s paradise .

    shaq didn’t even know who Deandre Hunter was today.

    Tucker is a warrior, he is just wasted on the Rockets. He is a poor fit with Wood ... with a coach that isn’t as 3 pointer motivated and on a rebuilding team.... and as you said, a poor rebounding one.... I really hope Tucker gets to go to a contender like Harden did.

    It's true though lol

    Most casual fans know like 3 teams.

    all these people going "Oh wait, Harden is fun to watch play." They actually mean it because they've likely never watched a full game of him playing...just youtube highlights.

    Yes, because the Rockets have a healthy roster that hasn't been gutted and reassembled like Frankenstein.

    He was being super aggressive and doing all the right things but I almost hated it, I wanted more ball movement, set plays and scrubball like in the first spurs game.

    Someday this BBS is going to be laughing fondly about the times that the discussion was about Nwaba starting. The Rockets will have finally hit another glory period, first one since James Harden was traded.

    I, of course, will be dead by then but this BBS will live on.

    I'm just disappointed to be honest. May be a deeper reason to why we haven't seen Cousins/Wood lineup.

    Wood will average 25+.

    Dipo is going to average close to that.

    And Dipo will average more than that the games Wall does not play.

    You have to have active players of the ball for that. The first spurs game we had that because of sterling brown. He’s like patty mills always moving. The second spurs game and this game you notice it the lack of movement without Brown. And then also Gordon is more iso-oriented. When Jones came in we started seeing more passing and beautiful offense but you not going get that with Gordon Nwaba out there with dipo.
    Silas needs to work on his five man units it really does jsut feels random at this pointZ he need to put units out there that complimentary to each other. Like cousins and Jones

    Even worst we were coming off a bad offseason. We lost Lowry, and Dragic and signed Lin who most of us felt was overhyped. And then the shaky pick of Royce white. Felt like we got worst that summer before the harden trade.

    Hard to have set plays when one of the starters has not attended a practice.

    He’s played better so far. He was injured a couple of games ago.

    I think we can legit have 3 players score 20 points in any given game between wood, dipo, wall, gordon and maybe Mason Jones?

    I hope we can get someone good for him. Where do you think he should be sent? I want to get something useful for him.

    In place of the "bench guys" is critical here.
