    I said from day one the sky is the limit for this team and I still believe that.
    AWESOME!

    Rockets had 3 players score 20+ tonight and it still was not enough.

    Even when Rockets have 2 players score 30+ it is not enough.

    The defense has to be fixed.

    Rockets need 2 more upgrades in starting 5, longer than 6'7 and 3-D demons.

    Stone needs to get a backup PG. The Rockets can't rely on Wall, and even with Wall, they don't need Gordon initiating the offense.

    I think you have been saying that ever since ive noticed you on here lol. It's not happening man. They are not signing Jonah bolten or that other dude you love, nor are they trading for gordon.

    Defense definitely needs fixing but I think it can be fixed with the personnel on hand. Biggest thing with defense is communication and its unrealistic to expect that to have developed with the lack of practice. I fully expect the defense to be much approved by the middle of the season.



    Here's to hoping.

    Did anyone else notice when whenever we start david nwaba we lose?

    He’s more of a off the bench defensive spark, come on silas.

    He needs to be quarantined in the gym and not left out until he is a good 3pt shooter.

    Every loss pushes us closer to tanking.

    Happy with the outcome.

    I like how positive Wood and Dipo are. Def emerging as the true leaders of this team.

    Defense was much improved last season with RoCo trade and committing to switch everything.

    Even if AG is not target.

    There are other long defenders Rockets can trade for - Nance, Prince, OG, Jerami Grant, etc.
