    I was hoping Ariza would be out longer. Good lord I hope Luc gets more run. It's so clear who the better player is. Kind of like a Lin/Bev situation to me.

    luc is marginally better on defense.. Ariza is an elite wing defender himself... Luc just brings that along with solid post defense.. Ariza's 3 point shooting has been lights out this year.. Arizas just been on a different planet since CP3 has returned.. He started november shooting 18%, and has been pretty much 40% every single month.. since then.. Luc has been good but not elite, and below average around 33% since he returned from injury

    I like the fact that the rockets are against good teams that they have owned (twolves, nuggets, and jazz) should all be wins, and they give us a good enough platform to try and test the new additions as well iron the kinks with ariza and luc minutes issues.. we need to be firing on all cylinder with raptors celtics and thunder.. the thunder have really sucked against inferior competition but somehow turn into golden state when facing elite teams

    Harden still strengthening his stamina in L.A strip clubs. he should be ready on game day.

    I thought this game was on Wednesday, then Thursday, and then I finally got my facts straight and realized it was on Friday.

    Another W coming up. We got this!

    man,, I am just glad there is basketball tonight, here is hoping one of these three team loses, cavs, warriors or thunders... warriors for obvious reasons, cavs because of the stupid lebron mvp narrative, and thunder for stealing hardens mvp from last year

    I'm interested in seeing how B Wright fits in. I want to see him get some minutes to see what type of impact he can have. Iso joe will be Iso joe and get his thing going sooner or later. We wont need him to carry us too much. I think Wright could have the bigger impact with his skill set.

    To be honest, he just need to learn from Clint. Just speaking with him should give him enough insight on how the CP3 and Harden gives him the ball in the paint or over the top. We seriously need our centers to be an factor in the last couple regular season. Most definitely for the playoffs.

    I am excited that everyone is back and healthy.

    But not looking forward to the forum complainers on "why isn't player X playing."

    There are going to be players that don't play. That's fine. There will be some injuries and such later and others will get chances.

    This is about the TEAM. Be thankful on the depth. And having depth means some players don't play. That is fine and those players accept that.
