If anyone knows where the Rockets 3-point shots are, please make sure that they make it to the next game.

Anyone but you :wink:

it's growing pain when you have young players that need playing time to develop
Capela isn't really good on defense
this will be the first season he get consistent min and let see how much he will learn
i was surprise Harrell didn't get any playing time
i guess Antoni prefer Dekker over Harrell

Walton is really underrated

Well our defense was actually good with Clint on the floor. 100 points per 100 possessions. When he was off the floor that number blew up to 118 so I would disagree with saying Clint isn't good at defense yet, problem is the bench is terrible and MDA played nene too much

If Harrell rots on the bench all season, I'm going to lose my s***. He was the high point of the beginning of last season yet hasn't been able to even sniff the court since.

I know he had a career high 17 assists but at the end of the game Harden was pretty awful running the show maybe even the whole 4th quarter. Is he being asked to do too much? His defense on Clarkson was bad too.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

The offense broke down because everyone was tired because of the insane pace the game was played at in the first half and the Lakers were successfully switching everything and the Rockets didn't have anyone besides Harden who could attack a switch (Which is a reason the team needs Dmo and a not useless Nene they got Wednesday because they can with their post up game). Having Beverley back will help as well because then Gordon can focus on creating for the second unit, taking the ball away from Ennis.

At the end of the day the rockets don't lose if they don't shoot 24% on threes and with the shooters they have I don't expect that to happen often. It wouldn't have been an encouraging win but hey
