    Blow it up. Trade Tucker, House, Oladipo, Cousins, Gordon, McLemore, Wall, and Exum. This teams best players can not play back to back games. At the best this team is Fools Gold. Take back picks and expiring contracts, for this rag tag team.

    Rockets must be going into tank mode since Wood is hurt.

    Do they have a choice?

    I don't think we can win consistently without him
    D*mn sure cannot with him Ego and Wood out . . ..

    I would just sit the whole team out against teams they have no shot against, like the 76ers instead of the back to back scenario. I saw M-A-dollar sign-E, drive 3 times and kickout for 2 assists. He can do it. Start with a pg or f'ing trade for one. The Hornets probably put that chip on their shoulder before the game, "So they think they can sit everyone against us and beat us? F' no!"

    i don't know why jones didn't play more. watching brown jack up bricks, nwaba and bmac going on TO sprees... dissapointing.

    Jones - Dipo - House - Tate - Cousins would have been my lineup.

    Because Silas wanted Dipo and he's trying everything to get him going but it's backfiring

    Despite being an NBA coach for 20 years, he just can't see the game the way @ashleyem can!

    The Rockets could not score at all in the 4th quarter and he never changed the lineup until garbage time. I’ve never seen anything like that.

    Check out OP's threads during the Melo saga and you'll see just that.

    We are clearly in tank mode. We are doubling down on defense and let Dipo get going so he can get a good trade value - not sure it's actually working out.

    Yeah, I say don't rush C. Wood back. Let him heal and rehab. Would like to see KPJ, but he might give them a shot to win so maybe they'll keep him down in the Valley.

    We short on PGs and Cs. Only time will tell if we still without any backups whether Mr. Stone was planning on tanking all along.

    If they are “tanking now”, they are incredibly stupid because they should have started 3-4 weeks ago. At this point we are likely to lose our draft pick because there are too many teams below us.

    I'm sure you have a better idea of the intricacies of an NBA offense than Silas does.

    Chances are we would have lost no matter who we had in there tonight with all of our top players not playing.

    Yes brown Tate and nwaba was the best line up out there. It was already a head scratcher when they announce the starting line up.

    a line up of House PJ 0 Tucker a and Oladipo was bound to get crush add cousins it was going to be bad. Luckily cousins and Tate kept us there.

    I don’t understand the obsession of playing pj Tucker over 30 mins. Today it was better since he played 23 but Ben our hot shorter only got 18mins.

    Pj is not even giving anything offensively now he barely give anything defensively. Just trade him already.
    The guy clearly doesn’t want to be here he clearly didn’t want to be here like Harden. He wants to get paid ? What a joke he is getting over paid now. Last year he was giving us defense at least and getting some corner threes now he can barely score over 5 points.

    Btw I love pj but I can’t stand his attitude and his effort and offense.

    and Oladipo is a joke I’m sure he doesn’t want to be here or he got jinxed. He was playing better in Indiana. Now every time he is in the ball movement is minimal of nonexistent, jacking up 3s or long 2s. The flow of the game get sucked by him.


    House is just so weird to watch him play. 2-7 from three but it’s expected for him to fake a three and mess up the play, throw a bad pass, miss a pass or get silly fouls and just smirking about every play. He is just googling around.

    Ben should be getting more shots and he had barely even play before tonight. And he needed to play more yet he barely saw any minutes,18 mins total. If Silas can’t play him for who knows what reason he should be traded so at least he is in a better team and we get something in return for the future.


    Kurucs needs to be waived or traded so we can have room to sign a big. We need a back up for boogie. He has improved but we can’t rely on just him plus Wood should be playing the 4 instead of the center. Depends on matchups but we very thin in the middle.


    I’m okay if we don’t even win games but I’m not okay with playing with guys that want to be somewhere else. Guys that aren’t giving an effort and that aren’t even trying the system like Oladipo and PJ. Theyre both playing like if Victor was Harden and pj playing like Harden was still in the team.
    This is a team effort isolations (Oladipo) and standing & just spacing the floor (PJ) doesn’t belong in this system. We need ball movement and better effort.


    Hopefully Silas moves those two ASAP. I wanted to give Victor a try but he doesn’t fit this system. And pj clearly is just not happy here.

    House needs to be moved he is just goofing around and not being serious like he should.

    Kurucs doesn’t belong here either

    Ben should be playing more but if they won’t play him just trade him

    play Mason Jones more get a big and trade the first 4 I mention and I’m sure we will be fine and so much fun.
