    Why is there absolutely zero lob threat to Wood any more?

    Harden wasn't even trying and he was giving him 3 or 4 easy oops in the 9 games he was still here last year.

    Now we don't even look for it, is it Wood not making himself available or are our guards not looking for him?

    My only problem with sets that leave Christian Wood in the corner is that he isn't out there mixing it up and setting screens. Green and KPJ need those screeners. Why have Nwaba setting those?

    Most of clutchfans aren't even familiar with the way Rookies develop when they're young. You'd never see any other team board ******** on young players like that.

    It's so normal but as Rockets fans you're really not used to this. It's way easier to look at rookies the Rockets gave away over the years and moan afterwards without witnessing the growing pain they had to get to the point its even worth moaning about the Rockets giving them away in the first place.

    Heat are going to be good defensively too. Very dangerous team this year.

    Yeah, Rockets are supposed to look bad against the Heat. The Heat are legit top 4 team in the East or a threat to be and for whatever reason they are playing most of their main rotation this first half. It would have been something if we looked even decent.

    Green's jumper right now does not look NBA ready, he can't shoot.

    Actually I'm looking at Thies here. Wood at least had four boards to Theis' one rebound in equal minutes.

    If it's that easy Harden wouldn't be an MVP

    He's taken 12 shots and only connected on 4. And I swear to god I haven't even seen him try to drive to the basket. He looks scared to do anything but shoot 3's.
