    He’s literally looking like Harden.

    I agree. The rockets 2 main guys looked sluggish. They just looked tired out there. Harden missing lay ups, those are buckets a year ago. Looks like he's out of shape.

    Tired?!

    It's not like they're out there working a double-shift laying cement! They should get on their knees and thank God they play basketball for a living!

    Being tired on game one of the season at home is not the best thing, but hey, what can you do?

    Sleep maybe...

    It's still very very early into the season. Guess what? Warriors lost the first game last season and become NBA Champions. Stay positive fellas. :)

    Impressive for Ennis to play more than half of the game and only be a -5 considering we lost by 21. At least we can say he wasn't the problem in this game.

    This wasn't a bad matchup for Houston. It was catastrophic. Capela has no one to guard out there and realistically the Tuckwagon lineup should've been used more with Tucker at the 5 and Ennis at the 4. You need a wing out there who can stay with Mirotic at the three.
