    Christian Wood and Ibaka have been at the top of my list...doubt we could get either

    Harden needs the PnR back...the floater or lob were easy points

    now his only option is to drive all the way to the rim or kick out for a three

    its funny how the one day CF is not spazzing out during the rockets game we get a dozen threads during the game

    Tinman , i knwo you are pure . Direct your rage at the NBA . our roster isnt perfect , but we are talented enough to win. We played diwght and Javale off the floor . Rondo has to look like prime rondo for the lakers to win last game . NBA has to investigate house. Its bullshit . No matter what roster the rockets have , if we dont play a little dirty we wont win. NBA wants to set up a LAL-LAC series ? OK enjoy it with no lebron or AD , we need to take someone out . MDA too nice , roster too small , league too rigged.

    Isn't Clint hurt? The rockets weren't winning the traditional way.

    If we are a) going to keep this team in tact, and b) continue with small ball, there’s absolutely no way after this AD trashing you can conclude there isn’t a need to find taller players that can function within this system.

    Dude you know this is the weakness for having no centers
    There’s no conspiracy here
    Think about if they played the 95 rockets
    Hakeem would have 70 on PJ Tucker

    Lakers figured out Davis is the key to the series .

    Let’s trade Harden for Embiid and picks. I’m so sick of Harden.

    There is no hakeem
    Lakers are beating us because of posting AD .
    We are too small at the 3/4 as well as the 5 .. thats a bigger issue than no C
    There is a conspiracy
    The only reason i want a center is so they can give a harder foul

    Saddest part of it is that they have a better small ball lineup than we do.

    There doesn’t need to be any conspiracy
    There’s no fear for the Lakers driving the lane
    It’s like the west park tollway

    Exactly. We don’t even need a guy that’s a traditional center. We just need a few 6’9” to 6’10” guys like Wood or Morris that can shoot the 3 and box out to get a rebound. Oh, and defend against taller players.
