    Man. That's too harsh. Casspi played well at times, he played lights out early in the season.

    Casspi is a waste of a roster spot.

    Why does it seem Garcia is only found to be effective defensively against Durant? Just seems sort of weird that he only gets minutes guarding arguably the toughest scorer in the league. I would think that he would be able to defend just about anybody if he can guard Durant.

    I am very surprised by all the support for Hamilton. He really seems to suck lately.

    Hamilton is the best fit for the team IMO, but all are pretty weak options.

    A bench upgrade is in order this offseason.

    Garcia should get the nod because of what he did in the playoffs last year, because he's tough, can get under players skin, has that fire and is playing better again.

    I don't fault the attitude of I'm not going to lose a playoff game because Casspi makes 4 or 5 mistakes. If Casspi could interpret what he's doing and what's going on the court he would be so much better. I think he will succeed. He has some ability because he can speak to different languages.

    All 3 are streaky shooters but Hamilton is the answer this season. He has a killer stroke and needs a the go-a-head to shot when open for optimal for spacing. Thought - if the ball is rebounded from the other team's missed shot that is good defense and that is a strength of Hamilton - rebounding. He is showing some growing pains on a new team (finding his role). Give him a little more time - just hide and watch. In the playoffs (1/2 court sets) he will be a needed ingredient for Rocket success.

    The Rockets are a good regular season team beating tankers. To be honest I'm not sure they could beat a real contending euroleague team not a Maccabi Tel Aviv but a team that can hold their own.

    This is like a three way race to be king of the trash heap. It's a gamble against us for Casspi and Garcia to even earn their vet min contacts. J-Ham at least still looks like he's trying to crawl of of the garbage.

    All these guys have played both well and poorly at times. I'd like to see all three get some meaningful minutes the last couple weeks of the season, and then let McHale decide when to play each one in the playoffs.

    Whoever is hitting shots.

    tbh, I can't figure out Casspi. The guy's numbers aren't that bad. But watching him play is really painful for some reasons.
