    Heard reports that said Amen Thompson should be back on the court before the end of March. If we can have our full lineup healthy at the start of April that would allow them to build chemistry going into the playoffs.

    Paola ain’t sh*t either. One of the most overrated players in the league.

    And on this board, where he is the ultimate “grass is greener” guy. Many here, including those pining over him, would hate him if he were a Rocket being an inefficient shooter who doesn’t defend. Poor man’s Carmelo Anthony.

    He would be loved in Houston….more so than even Amen Thompson!

    He'll be back way before the end of March. He could return as soon as Friday at Miami. And there's a pretty good chance he's back by Sunday when Denver comes to town.

    I dont think anyone here would trade Amen Thompson for Paolo "Concrete Feet" Banchero.

    I'm guessing they win a higher percentage when they don't fight.

    banchero sucks dude

    If I could pick up one dude from that team it would be Franz

    Honorable mention for Jalen Suggs, the Udoker would love him

    If we had picked Paolo I'd be pounding the table to trade him while he still has hype. Magic should see if they can sucker whoever lands #1 into giving them Flagg for Paolo + picks

    Absolutely. Banchero was a media created “star”.

    Jonathan Isaac is made of glass, but when healthy he would fit perfectly here. But yeah, Franz and Suggs would be my #1 and #2 on that team. I don't think either of them are obtainable though.

    I hope we’ll play better than the way we played against the Bulls and Sixers. We were really lucky to pull off the 8-points comeback late in the 4th quarter in the Sixers match. If we don’t show up early in the game vs. A good defensive team like the Magic, we won’t have opportunities for a comeback like we had last night.

    Go Rockets!! Let’s continue the streak, on our way to secure playoff spot!
    Every game matters, especially now, as the remaining schedule is tough.

    I could go for a nice 30-point blowout with the Rockets coasting to a win. No more playing with your food, Rockets.
