    On the boards but he ain't a monster scoringwise.

    'Only' averaging 15 ppg. Capela 16.6 ppg last year.

    That is his shortcoming.

    need to sign another guard, I suggest get I Thomas immediately. Dont expect we can win without Gordon, last time he drops 50 pts. Harden is not in form and unable to shoot accurately now.

    Wouldn't be surprised either way.

    If Gordon is out or being trotted out by MDA.

    Rockets - 4
    O//U 232.5
    Money line Rockets - 170 Jazz + 150

    I think we cover the 4. The Jazz and Gobert won't be able to keep up. Gobert will have to gaurd the 3 point line. Playing behind Harden won't work anymore with Gobert out of the paint. Perfect opponent for our small ball lineup. It should be a good one with or without EG.

    Go Rockets!

    I suggest to let Tyson or Harkinstein to play around 10 to 15 minutes and then play our small line up for the rest of the time. It can ensure we will not lose too much rebounds and able to give more energy for the rest of players for small ball. It is with reference to Warriors Andrew bogut era champion model. 80 percent small ball and 20 percent big ball. It is also good during westbrooks take rest and Gordon injury. I really suggest MDA tries it first

    Why would Hartenstein purposefully misspell his name, posting from a burner account? o_O

    Love that you threw in Tyson too, to avoid any suspicion. TOO BAD IT DIDN'T WORK.

    The Rockets will never go a single day of a healthy roster. It is simply impossible.

    They only do it for Kawhi or PG if I’m not mistaken....do they do it for Lou too?

    Considering how we beat the jazz without harden and WB just recently I would disagree with your statement .

    Too many older players, logging too many minutes on a system that relies on pace, energy and team rebounding.
