    Wood/Gordon/KPJ/KMJ/Tate/Brooks with some new first round talent next year makes me horny.

    Wall needs to come off the bench but he never will.

    Idk if the Bucks just decide to not show up against us or what, but the way we obliterate them offensively, KPJr would’ve popped off for another 50

    everyone’s sliders go up by 30 against Milwaukee

    The problem is Silas loves Wall and plays him heavy minutes which takes away from other guys development.

    Interesting.

    I hope this isnt true but I'll be looking out for this scenario in the future.

    My guess is Wall is by far the most paid member of this roster so I understand giving him plenty of minutes but he's no cornerstone.

    Wish he would prove me wrong

    Looks like the 3rd quarter was the off quarter tonight. We hit 25 3's ... it's actually amazing we lost hitting 25 3's. lol.

    Honestly, anyone would have dreamed that a lineup of

    KJ Martin
    Anthony Lamb
    Kelly Olynyk
    Daquan Jeffries
    DJ Augustin
    Armoni Brooks
    Khyri Thomas

    could score 133 points against the 7th ranked Bucks defense?

    Boxscore says Lopez only had 2 blocks, and second one was a layup, not dunk attempt. And looks like goaltending to me. Slo-mo looks like it hit glass ... seems to change direction b4 the block

    Love the reps that these young guys are getting. I hope we can keep Olynk. Never knew he had this kind of playmaking ability till he got to Houston. Us Rockets fans have to give credit to the front office for pulling this trade off. Everyone has to admit now that the Oladipo trade with the Heat is no longer an embarrassment. Of course the media was against it from the jump but us fans were right with the media as well.

    Great job Stone with the new additions. I am looking forward to the new guys developing and the vets steering them in the right direction. Man if we get a top 4 pick to cap it off???? Rockets fans...we will be back soon.

    Defense is key. We don't have a single defender that can be relied upon. Silas doesn't coach defense either.

    It was really encouraging to see that. Gives me some hope for the future. We need to get a top 4 pick and add some defense with free agency. TF needs to pay the LT. I seriously doubt if he will do it.
