    After watching the last several games, seems to me like MDa oughta just shut Anderson and EGo down for a few weeks. I'm thinking let 'em rest and rehab until they feel well, and then add some light running and catch-and-shoot drills. We're going to need them at top form later, and have some folks (KJ) who could contribute while they're down.

    This is easy to say, but harder to do.

    Shutting down our best players for weeks will lead to a lot of losses and a fall down the standings.

    lol watching the high...lowlights and the Bucks announcer says, "Man, where have these guys been?" after Tony Snell hit a pull up 3 in transition to go up 10 in the 4th.

    Desperate, hungry teams play desperate (Monroe hacking everyone) and hungry (work on 3pt shots until they all look like Curry).

    People complain when I ask why he doesn't rest our starters more in blowouts. He is overplaying 8-9 guys a night. I don't want to say it's because the lack of a bench. You can't tell me that there are 5-6 guys who aren't worthy of spot minutes here and there to keep everyone from getting exhausted.

    Also, 5 guys who do not deserve minutes over Brewer.

    Actually, all 7 underdogs won last night. It was an NBA historical event.

    Actually wasn't panicking at all. Quite the contrary. But this is the time that MDA will be tested with a few losses, injuries/illness and the players looking a little lethargic. It's his job to make adjustments.

    Understood. I give Harrell a pass because he has already exceeded my expectations, but that is what Clint is suppose to do. I understand he is still developing, but people acted like he was soooo much better than Dwight at rebounding and rim protection from an advanced stats standpoint. So I expect Clint to do the rim protection and rebounding.

    I hear that every time we lose, and I am sure there is some truth to that, but I am not as hopeful as I was earlier in the season. Don't get me wrong, I love my Rockets, but am trying to face the fact that we just have a few inconsistency issues and sloppy play that is repeating itself once again. The Warriors simply made us look very much beneath their skills, which couldn't have made me sicker, because they are our nemesis.

    Need to expand rotation, but first need to add some competent back ups. Grab lead early, rest starters in 4th quarter. But bench needs to be able to hold-grow those leads.

    I meant he only got 1 field goal for entire first quarter and part of second quarter.
