Am I the only one who don't find this team appealing to watch anymore? I was able to sit through all those Chuck Hayes offense ran through Ron artest days.

They are very frustrating for me this season because I cannot figure them out. Last season with so much of the same cast we knew their identity - tough defenders, quick on breaks & efficient scorers. It wasn't always pretty, but we saw what they were capable of almost every night.

This season they are a mystery. Their crippling cold spells and stagnant offense have not made for fun basketball. When the defense is clicking this team is still fun to watch, though.

You hit it right on the head. We don't have a image this year and every night it's like we are playing our first game together.

Best win of the Season!

What we saw in the third & fourth quarter was much more like the Rockets of last year. Nice to see them again.

It was a sloppy, but a good gritty win against an elite team.

Capela plays way too much.

Dmo>>Jones>Capela atleast for the rockets and they play Capela the most and Dmo the least. Doesn't make sense to me.
