But hey think about it this way...

When the only complaint we have is that the bench - who extended the lead - played a little too long, that's a pretty good place to be!

This team wants it. Got to give Mosley credit for getting them to buy in. Also our size is bothering them.

Still think Ingles will go off in random games. He's going to be the T Ross this season.

On cue Paolo gets an and-1 & draws another foul next possession

Yeah, it's going to take the Rockets a lot of time to find themselves. They're not talented enough.

wtf are we doing? 11pts in 9 minutes? Come sit your ass down for nearly the rest of the half :banghead:


A 10-man rotation is tough :lol:


It's inexplicable especially with how bad Ingles just played that he stayed in for that long instead of coming out earlier for Paolo/Franz

Yeah, I wonder why Mosley went away from staggered lineups and always having one of Paolo or Franz on the court? That 2nd unit is effectively the Cole show - and he’s doing well but could probably use the help in tougher games.

Absolutely agree. Big coaching mistake not getting him back in there at least 3 minutes earlier.

Yeah... but to think they signed FVV and Brooks with those ridiculous contracts as vets, you would think they are trying to compete..

Its early but Fultz/Suggs may be best defensive backcourt this year
