Time - 9:00 PM CDT

Hopefully they can get back to .500 tonight. Any word if Dwight is playing?

DMo starting and Harrell getting called up even though Terrence Jones is healthy? Hmmm

OK, just tuning in (been a busy night).

Go Rockets!

Jones had a lacerated eyelid earlier this season.

Now they are telling us that he has an incision on his eye???

Get that man some protective goggles!

Why hasn't Thornton played? The offense hit a rut and he still hasn't played a minute.

when we're not busy turning it over, we also miss shots

Anyone else noticing how poorly they are defending with Dwight on the court VS that stretch in the third without him? Rebounding was better with Ariza at center.

It is hard to be a Rockets fan this season.

But the dude abides!

Geez what happened to all the "fans"?
Anyhow, this team needs to be blown up already. Either rebuild or hire an actual coach. Championship teams don't lose to teams like the Nuggets and Kings. Beverley defense is overrated. Harden refuses to play defense. You know our gameplan sucks when Ariza is running Isos. TJones regressed horribly. Howard on his way out. Coaches not playing to Lawson strengths or maybe he never figured out the 2 plays in our playbook.
Only bright spot this season has been the development of Capela.

What an ugly game full of turnovers.

Dwight isn't all that good on D. Add the fact that Harden usually doesn't try to lift a finger on D as well, you have a recipe of disaster.

Terrible coaching and rotations. D-Mo wasn't having the best game but he was a stud last night and he only gets 14 minutes? We gave Dwight like 4-5 post ups and he only scored on one. How many times do we have to review analytics to come to the conclusion that that gameplan is not an efficient one whatsoever. Thornton on the bench most the game for no real particular reason, Lawson barely got any minutes either.

Finally headed back to Houston. Hopefully being able to watch games again will bring rockets some luck

Yeah, probably not

Dmo is still hurt and on limited playing time. He was also getting burned badly by Rudy Gay, so he sat down early. I actually wouldn't expect DMO to start until he's off restricted playing time. I think Capela would most likely start for most of the season.

I'm not a fan of Thornton. He's like a James Harden lite. ISO volume scorer with no effort on defense. You can't keep both of these guys on the floor at the same time. Since Harden was having a great night, Thornton never got to play.

I would like to see more Ty Lawson though. However, Jason Terry is actually beating Lawson to the back up PG role. The only down side of Terry was his defense, but recently I've seen him kick up his energy level on defense.
