    If Silas continue to not play any bigs then it's time to panic, I mean the Pacers were having layup drills all night while we have Cousins just rotting on the bench, and why the ultra small ball and not playing Caboclo with Wood out? Lineup doesn't make sense to me.....

    Wall and Cousins are 30 and coming off major injuries.

    Wall is still good while I think Cousins would be 70% of what he once was.

    I think Cousins cannot play big minutes in a long season consistently.

    The talent is damaged.

    You only talk about talent and Offense, this team do not have many premium defenders.

    Defense wins you championships and many games.

    And you underestimate the league.

    The league has better young talents than you think so that is the reason you think we have massive talent because you underrate the talent on other teams.

    You are being subjective.

    Why does everyone say cousins is slow? Have any of you watched him pre injury? He’s never been a good man defender. He often gets beat but recovers quickly and those long arms helps him swat away balls from behind as we have seen him done couple times this year. He’s always been the same defensive player lol. Dunno what you guys expect. He wasn’t a lock down defender then and certainly not one now.

    Morey and Rox management team think you can get 3-D guys for cheap (Clark) or vet min (Luc) and just plug and play hoping for a giant return. This has been their standard for several years hoping to get a gem for low risk. Unfortunately these guys aren’t as talented as the Derrick Jones or Justin Holidays of the league.

    Have you seen Bruno play? He's easily our worst active roster player

    Reading this didn't fit with my eye test, it feels like the team does very well every time these two share the court, from what I've been watching. So I decided to go look it up - Nwaba and Tate have shared the court for 50 minutes so far this season and have a 23.4 net rating. They've been doing very well together. It's one of the best two man lineups on the team.

    The only thing that concerns me about the Rockets is Tilman Fertitta.

    Can the owner somehow be impeached, or removed because of disability or being broke?

    If you didnt panic over the CP3/Westbrook trade, you probably shouldn't panic over anything. This team is done.

    lol well you win some and lose some its an aberration or a small sample size...a lot of great teams will go tru 2-4 stretches during the season....particularly when injured or missing guys

    remember when cp3s 1st year squad had a 5 games losing streak?...losing happens and sometimes it happens in bunches doesnt mean youre not good

    its perfectly reasonable to conclude that being close in all of the games save one means we are a quality team and when we get most of our guys healthy and playing we will be good

    this is not stretch by any means nor being positive its just reality and perfectly logical thinking
