    The Magic may fall out of the playoff race soon. A guy to watch out for near the deadline is Ibaka. His salary is 12.5 mil, and he's an expiring. I wouldn't be surprised if the Magic shopped him around the trade deadline. I'm not sure what it would take from the Rockets to get him though.

    He was mad because this is one of the only chances the Magic will get to beat the 2017 World Champion Rockets. And they blew it despite having chances to win.

    Who is that rockets player on the left playing excellent defense on the other rockets player on the left.

    I really like the hustle. The game hasn't even ended and we already have begun running practice drills for the next game.

    Another great win. Missed most of the 3rd when Ryan went off.

    My knowledge went from "down 8 @halftime" to "up 4 late 3rd" when I sat down.

    Awesome explosion!!


    It's also great we held them under 100. Rockets did it on both ends.

    New York Rockets?

    Talked to a guy in NYC last night. He repped his Knicks, but said "Rockets are his second team".

    Why? Because he's a huge Harden fan. Dude said, "Harden is the best".

    I'd never heard a non-Houstonian talk like that about the Rockets or James.



    Go Harden!!
    Go Houston!!
    Go Team!!!

    Not sure if serious. A system doesn't magically give you the ability to play basketball at a high level

    Good win. 2 games in a row now it is evident we need more big man help. Someone(s) that will rebound the rock like it's gold and protect the paint like its their front door. Harrell and Ryan don't have that mentality

    Capela is coming back.

    No need to do something now that hurts the team later.

    Hardens three point shot has been way off in the last three games. 4 of 26 attempts off. Needs to take more midrange shots which is a shot he is good at.

    I think the MVP of the league needs to keep doing exactly what he is doing.

    I love Capella but in terms of offense, he is still limited. He has a few post ups but it's not something we can bank on yet and most are oops assisted by other players. He is also a great rim protector. This kid has the physical tools to do those and his 3pt shooting is something that Capella can only dream of. A stretch C fits nicely on an MDA system

    Yes. There's a lot of hype going around another kid in NY - Porzingis. because of his length, ability to stretch the floor and mobility. There's a lot of similarities between him and this kid. Most people questioned if he can play right away because he is too thin but seems to be doing just fine right now . Qi can turn out to be a bust but as Morey said, he has the tools to be the steal of the draft.
