    Good point on Greg, he to listens and has improved. I think TRob needs a does of the real world and will get that if he stays next season.

    At his best ever Kevin Martin was not worthy of holding Harden's jock this season. Harden is a clear superstar and anyone who knows an ounce of bball has recognized this already.

    I have referred to KMart as an elite scorer but I don't ever recall calling him a superstar. Quote?

    No need to wait a few seasons to call Harden a superstar. Did we wait to call Melo a superstar? LeBron? KD? No we did not.

    James has played at a superstar level all year so there is no need to wait two or three years to call him a superstar. He is a superstar now.

    Our front line definitely needs to be upgraded. We got hosed by Denver. Their athleticism really hurt us. Scary team, I think they are going to give SA/OKC a run for their money.

    Bringing in Pau Gasol would be the worst setback in Rockets history

    Sorry...Harden ain't siting at the same table as Lebron, Melo, and KD. Anyone that has any ounce of bb knowledge will not at this point in time.

    Great post. Thank you for sharing your observations from being at the game. Sorry that it was a loss and you had to pay so much. But hope overall it was still a good and positive experience for you and your family!

    I think he gives you a similar presence to what LMA would bring and it wouldn't take a lot to get him. If you brought in J. Smoove, he will make us better but we would be like Denver, a good Run and Gun team but NO inside presence.

    We're giving them the old rope-a-dope.

    Come Game 1, the real Rockets will show themselves.

    Gasol is the softest, oldest & slowest option out there. Not to mention he's a weak defender. Plus he's a no show in the playoffs. He has no place on a young up & coming team.

    We should do what Jon Barry has been saying everytime he's announcing Nuggets games: play zone.

    Play much more solid defense, especially need defensive 2 or 3

    Play smart ,don't race against Denver

    I've learned over the years that Denver should not be permitted professional sports teams, or if they do have them, those teams should host their home games somewhere an hour north of the city at lower altitude.

    The altitude problem is just too much of an issue in every sport for various reasons.

    What did we learn from this game? That Rockets are no good on a b2b. We could've had them, but we were just too tired.

    So true. Second night of back to back... i hear there's this long bus ride from the airport. Altitude... a win would have been great but no one should read too much into tbis loss.

    I think we are one of the worst teams at transition D so a team like the Nuggets is going to run us out.
