    At the same time I'm a little disappointed by Wood's passiveness. He got a little Capela in him by calling out an opponent and then continue to be invisible.

    Every time Housr leaves the lineup something bad happens.

    Silas isn't the problem.

    Damn Morris carried the **** out of that ball. They just let the Lakers to whatever like they are the globetrotters.

    The starting lineup now puts the team in a hole. Nwaba and Tucker in the starting 5 is ass offensively and nothing special on defense either.

    just shut up. None of the teams in the nba right now would beat KD warriors.
    The lakers are great, but you can still beat them. We just suck. Stop making excuses for this team. Harden looks uninterested and the team support is bad .

    Wood makes Capela look like Dennis Rodman...

    He's 25, I hope he gets better but...

    I think that the only starting lineup that gives the Tockets a chance against the Lakers is Wall, Harden, PJ, Wood and Cousins. The problem with starting that lineup is; what big are they going to play off of the bench? They desperately need another big but who can they realistically get at this point? There has to be a reason why Dedmon is still out of the league. J Noah? Does he have anything left?

    Tanking? No, he isn’t tanking... he is doing what they want him to do. They have made some really poor decisions strategically and he is doing what they asked. I do think he wants out and if they keep stringing him a long I think he is eventually going to go public or sit out games.

    All of this is more of a reflection of ownership and how this team is being ran. Silas isn’t a bad guy, neither is Stone or Harden or Tucker or Wall... they just are in bad situations and it is coming to a breaking point. The organization lacks leadership, someone needs to step forward and say this isn’t acceptable and they need to formulate a strategy.

    Harden and Tucker need to be gone for everyone’s sake and Silas needs to be given rope to fail and experiment.

    Bring DeAndre Jordan home. Nets aren't playing him. We are missing rebounders. When you get 50 rebounds first, you win 95% of the games.

    To be fair, he is merely too ambitious and forcing it.
