Forget cousins, more interested in dmo''s return

Nice pass by Nene there.

Sad that the New Orleans crowd is booing Anderson.

Why would they boo Anderson? He was a professional there and suffered some tragedies last year

Did they boo Gordon too?

This was a great write-up by Clutch: http://rockets.clutchfans.net/10261/daryl-morey-houston-rockets-rain-threes-andrew-bogut/

I love that the team is all-in on this new direction! :lol:

35 of 51 points from the bench!

Splash Gordon & Sweet Lou are going to feast in this system!

Battle of two new-look teams following the All-Star Break.

Well, one "new-look" team and one who just doubled down on what has gotten them this far.

Once Cousins & Davis have some time I think that they could be an impressive front court. If Dream Crowe can stay out of foul trouble he will be a nice complement to those guys and give them some front court variety.

I already love Sweet Lou on this roster!

40 of 66 points coming from the bench. Almost half of that from Gordon & Williams. They are utterly killing the Peli's bench.

It was 42? :lol:

No more cold shooting nights, guys! That's the hope and dream moving forward. There has got to be offense that is hot somewhere every game from here on out!
