    That's why I really wish we would start Gordon with Harden. But I know it's a pipe dream because MDA has already decided that he is his 6th man. Coaches don't usually change their mind unless due to injury, like lots of them in this instance

    The demise of Dekker's lateral quickness has been a little exaggerated.

    No Harden, yet the bench has come all the way back.

    Ennis seems to simply be a calm ball handler.

    James DGAF tonight, given the China trip don't blame him. Give him a night off. I like what I'm seeing from Ennis tonight finally.

    Harden still not sure handed enough with the ball. Will still need another legit ball handler on the floor with him.

    Harden shouldn't even be playing

    Capela is solid. No doubt. Dekker looks great, and should be a contributor this season. Ennis looks...fine? I don't know if he has a role on this team if the guards are all healthy, but could be decent depth.

    Brewer is still Brewer

    Rockets have their first lead. Harden has only taken one shot so far tonight.

    D'Antoni giving Ennis more playing time; he hasn't subbed KJ back in.

    I think it's good. Harden will have games like this and Rockets will have to find away to over come it. Harden will have to find a way to contribute besides scoring.

    I think Ennis - who has been below average - is a great example of why we should never get a Rubio-like player. There is simply no room to PAY a player like that on a Harden team. Off the bench you want a scorer/passer, and in the lineup you want someone who can do SOMETHING/ANYTHING when Harden has the ball.
