    Terrible coach. Disrespecting Ben McLemore never worked out for any coach. None of them have won the championship.

    Seriously though, Nwaba's loss will be felt. He is very disruptive and makes the game easier on the other bench guys. Hope he isn't out long.

    Agreed.

    Title should be amended.

    The bad thing about having a team that doesn't have any true superstars means that your role players become even more important. If the productive role players get hurt, then no one has to ability to step up like a superstar to make up for that production until the role players come back. I hope that he is not gone for long as he is a crucial part of this team.

    The bad thing about having a team with no true superstar is that you can't win it all.

    Not saying Nwaba isn't important. But we have a whole bunch of 6-5 wing players. That's our deepest position.

    Our thinest positions are the 1 and the 5.

    We’ll miss Nwaba’s defense for sure! Maybe call up KPJr. Or KmartJr. If BMac’s shot ain’t dropping. Nwaba is like a bigger Patrick Beverly.

    Unless you turn into 90’s Spurs and you play extremely good lock down defense. You can’t really go toe to toe against the Lakers. You gotta be excellent where they’re weak. First is defense then transition ball... We need to save wall’s legs especially for going against the Lakers. I would ram Wall Wood Pnr untill they get that down pat. It will save Wall from hangin inside the paint. He needs that automatic floater that looks like a lob that Harden had with Clint.

    Probably 9 man rotation which I’m fine with.

    Daniel House perhaps more minutes.

    the sad part is Nwaba had found his role. Hopefully he slides back into that easy.

    Think Nwaba is the best defensive player at his size in the NBA. Maybe I’m drinking the kool aid, but I can’t recall a more ferocious defensive player. This will hurt us for as long as he’s out. Remember it’s the Rockets, so two games usually turns into two weeks.

    I totally disagree. A 10 man rotation is a lot, especially when you have multiple all stars and a future all star on your team. That's no disrespect to BMac. It's truly hard to find minutes sometime
