    We looked horrible tonight man. This was absolutely god awful. So quick knee jerk reaction is me thinking, why the hell did we let Luc for GARBAGE MLE money. Like no one is going to be good in the buy out that buy out market, at least I don think.

    some troubling signs, but it’s just 1 game...the 1st game of the season at that

    we’ll see how they respond against Bron and the Lakers in LA...Lakers can’t shoot, but they have great passers and will run the floor like crazy...keep letting dudes waltz down the lane and score easy layups off 1 pass and it will be another beatdown

    But...but some fans here said Capela is the best center in NBA, and he deserves every penny of that max contract.

    To be fair, nobody stops LBJ.

    But some other scrub will go for 30 + on us.

    Still too early to say. I would guess the Rockets were not there mentally right from the get-go. I think they should only do the "Switch Everything" defence to some opponent. Teams who have talented bigs obviously will look to exploit the mismatch if they switch everything.

    Well it depends, do you actually believe that? Or are you just sarcastically writing this season off as 2015-2016?

    MCW not being guarded is destroying the Rockets' whole offense. It's remarkable.

    Just saw the score, but was watching the Astros. Everyone who said we would roll over them jinxed us. Haven't you learned by now that anyone can beat us when we beat ourselves? Saw that they had 3 guys with 10 of more rebounds. Looks like they punked us on our own court. What a disappointing way to start the season. If the Astros win I will feel better. Such is the life of being a Houston sports fan.

    umm.. Ennis's defense was much worse than I expected. Mediocre player.
    Clark should start as SF. Ennis as bench SF. Melo as bench PF.
