CP3 suspension
Ennis is out

we will be very short-handed

Severely shorthanded.
Guys are going to have to step up.

Not feeling really optimistic about MCW in the starting lineup though.

yeah, too many times he didn't really know what to do with the ball
need to learn from Gordon, when to go iso and give Harden a break, and when to shoot (which he shouldn't)

just read we will be limiting MCW to 15-18 min
since he has soreness in his right knee
Clark better stay out of foul trouble and knock down those 3

C - Capela, Hartenstein
F - Tucker, Melo
F - MCW, Clark
G - Harden, Green
G - Gordon
two rookies in the rotation that is not good

Why is Ennis out, and how has he looked so far? I haven't really been able to watch much at all of the previous games, going to try and catch some of this one though since it's against....well....that team.

Just thinking their name induces the delightful taste of bile.

Looking at our lineup does too, but not quite as much.

Ennis is out with a hamstring strain.
In his first few games you could tell he is still working (struggling?) to find his spots on the floor and his role in the rotation.
He looks a little more uncomfortable than Mbah a Moute was in his first few games last season.

GG for 3+1!

What's the deal with Marquese Chriss? Is he hurt too?

Yea...or a Boston one. Either way it's evil.

Meanwhile the Rockets are playing the blues against the jazz.

crap
Harden going to the locker room
this year suck

I'm actually impressed by how absolute **** Gordon and Clint are right now

tightness in hamstring
just when CP3 is ready to return

Biggest reason for the loss, Rockets didn't have Trevor Ariza to guard Donovan Mitchel
