    Okay, so his defense looks really good, his technique is rock solid there, what I was kind of surprised by was his shot because that looked good too. He literally had the best game of his career tonight. Good for him! Hope he can keep it up.

    I think his defense makes him look larger than he really is. He does a great job of using his reach, and he was almost never out of position either. Very impressive for a guy who hasn’t ever even practiced with the team before.

    Hate the Rockets? Nah, I hate that we suck. I hate that Tilman has destroyed a successful and respectable franchise, and he did it in record time. I’m mad that we’ve gone from 65 wins and almost winning a title to a joke and worst in the league in just 3 years...let me cope Shook

    teams like Utah and Denver used to be fodder, and now they beat our ass with ease

    going to Rockets game and traveling to see the team play are things I’d loved to do for years, it was part of my life routine...I had an excuse not to go to games this year because of Covid, but moving forward Tilman will have me paying for tickets hoping that I don’t witness some huge brickfest and a 20 point loss

    game threads have gone from 80 pages to 8 for a reason

    but besides all that, people love to hype up these fringe guys

    I see, Khyri is the possible Augustin replacement I had Jared Butler tagged for draft by using one
    of our draft picks in the 20's.

    203 ORtg and 105 DRtg last night (one game only)

    Younger, cheaper, shoot some 3's, play some defense vs pont guards (some what)
    ____________________________________
    Kenyon Martin jr has been 9 of 14 from 3 in the last 3 games, so hopefully I've been wrong on KMjr and we havea an adequate Small Forward. Send House packing.

    Rockets can concentrate on PF and Center with two picks after drafting the pick in top 4....hopefully it's Cade.
    _____________________________________

    Roster
    PG) Wall................................Khyri
    SG) Porter Jr.........................Eric Gordon
    SF) Cade Cunningham......Keynon Martin Jr / Tate
    PF) C Wood..........................
    C) Olynyk (re-sign)...............

    Less voids needed to be filled the better

    If he goes 6 for 7 again, with a couple threes and three steals, let's turn that 10-day into a 10-year.

    He’s not a playmaking guard. The offense looks so much better and runs a lot smoother with Augustin. When he got hurt the bench looked like dog s—. He should be kept around as a veteran cheap guard.
