    Exactly, dude has vanished. We need our big 3 so role players can be put in position to succeed.

    This.

    The Rockets don’t have a starting 1 or 5 and their 4 is more of a 3.... people forget how big a difference Chris Paul makes and we are learning how important Capela is.

    The Rockets lost by almost 30 tonight, and Had Capela and CP3 played, I’m confident the Rockets would have won.

    Rivers has shown he is a rotation player. Even when he shots poorly, he makes a difference defensively and handling the ball.

    Rivers is streaky and always has been. Overall he is a good penetrator and a mediocre shooter... we can and will live with it.

    Rivers is an okay player. A decent backup PG which we have not had for years. But if we depend on him as a starter for long stretches, we are not going anywhere. He has never been an elite shooter, or a great playmaker. Basically a less reliable but more durable Beverley replacement.

    But seriously, 2 all star level players unavailable (which includes our only big). What did you expect?!?!?!?

    It means New York is next and a probable win, followed by Toronto and a probable loss.

    All I know is everyone not named Harden is stealing money on this team.

    we were loosing when healthy too... House provided size at the forward. But that means nothing to our GM i guess, let's play 6'4 guy and let him defend Ben Simmons instead

    A team without its 2nd and 3rd best player and the lone rim protector is mediocre and thats only because Harden is out of his mind.
