    This is rough, but we can pull this out. Come on Rockets! Let's do this!

    Harden tired ... he's had Gordon help a bit ... capela help a tiny bit ... but beyond that has pretty much done everything himself

    That lineup is the only thing keeping us in this game, having Chris Paul being out is just screwing with the rotations.

    This is an easy win with Paul so no need to stress too much. A couple of guys shouldn’t play again .. MCW being one of them

    Good news is that neither are essential. MCW will soon be relegated once Knight returns (anyway) and Melo can ride the bench if he fails to perform.

    Ennis with the 'wave' defense.
    He waves at his man as he goes by to the basket

    I fear what GS will do to this defense

    now way the rockets get enough stops to make a run.

    that was the biggest thing that contributed to the rockets winning 65 games last year.

    Why does D’Antoni need that though with his experience and pedigree? This looks like a repeat of his final years in Phoenix where he earned his reputation that I thought he might have finally cleaned up.

    All the top tier coaches can coach that end of the floor. Why he can’t without coach B is beyond me. Exactly why most the NBA gave up on him for quite some time.

    Morey needs to make moves. Overhyped Ennis, MCW, Melo and Green is who he is. Mentally these guys will not get it done defensively and are too inconsistent offensively.

    I stand by my statement from last night. We won’t win any game CP3 doesn’t play in.

    All this switching is sacrificing paint defense. It's forcing our big men out at the three point line.

    This ain't it.
    Morey has to shake sh*t up.

    Trade anyone but Harden, CP3, and Capela for Jimmy B. I can't watch an entire season of this soft sh*t.

    Granted, we are playing like a$$ and absolutely 0 defense, but we are w/o CP3.

    I know last year this game is an easy W w/o CP3, but with all the new pieces we have now, it's going to be INCREDIBLY hard for us to win against anyone w/o our starting backcourt.
