    I hope Morey is seeing this, he needs to do something, either that or.....I'm really starting to doubt Tilman. This guy ....is he really cheaping out on us.

    It’s time to trade Tucker. He’s overrated.

    If rockets are bad with Tucker, they can be bad without him.

    Lots of levers for Mike to pull.

    Relax... We have PJ and CP3 in that locker room, we won’t be losing for long.

    Its more like the cp3 harden situation with me..harden should handle ball more the cp3 not because he just better at it, its more cause cp3 is better off the ball then harden is. My take is ennis is probably a better bench player then melo is. It more about putting people in the least bad spots

    Capela is SUPER on the alley oops on the offensive end but otherwise, has ZERO post up game and isn't contributing much on rebounds.

    bc at the beginning guys like harden cp3 pj all made it a note to point out the transition was going to be easy. picked up vets to play in a system thats player friendly. hou has a ton of problems atm.

    A non-playoff team last year in the Nuggets beat the Warriors tonight and we lose to a non-playoff team. This is a long season, let it ride. We got severely out-rebounded 49-35 and the Clippers shot 25 made FTs.... we almost pull out a win.

    I mean yea, but if we have CP, we win this game handidly. Like I said before, we have lost to Clippers before with a better roster and Jeff.

    People don't understand why the rockets became a top defensive team last year...Jeff Bzdelik was an excellent assistant defensive coach that got the rox to be an elite defensive team. Losing him was a huge loss. But the rockets have Roy Rogers and he will help this team get back to some defense. You have to give the team some time to grow with these new role players to gel. Pringles may not be a defensive mastermind but he knows who to bring in to help on defense. Last year, we lost to both the Lakers and Clips so it wasn't like we completely swept their asses last year. I guarantee this team won't be last in defense forever.

    its interesting. a year ago the rockets had a number of significant player additions. they didn't go through some period where they were this bad. and cp3 missed a significant portion of the beginning of the year as well.

    At this point only Harden and Paul are untouchable for me. Everyone besides them should be up for trade for an upgrade

    Don't ignore the glaring issues... they won't go away if this team continues to think they don't have to work hard to get better. Too much laziness on this team on both sides of the floor.
