    I think Rivers is the best matchup we have for him. He's a good defender.
    But when he came into the game, he matched up on WB and was whistled for a touch foul only 5 seconds in.
    Refs said 'welcome to the Rockets'

    This is the NUMBER ONE REASON we are down
    Defense etc is a distant second

    It looks like we're teetering on being blown out.

    Guess Clark and Knight will just never play. Even when we are missing two starters.

    Without Clark’s contribution the Rockets don’t beat the Spurs. Yet he stays on the bench. I don’t understand how you play someone on a 2-way contract more than a signed player.

    He sat for a good 5 minutes in the 2nd quarter. And they stayed even until right when he came in. He needs to sit 6-7 minutes in the 4th quarter though or maybe the last 60-90 seconds of the 3rd quarter. He needs to be semi-fresh to close the game.

    It’s a factor. Refs didn’t give up 60 to an average offense though.

    Adams: 14 pts 5 rebounds 2 offensive
    Capela: 12 pts 14 rebounds 8 offensive

    I think we can ease of Capela for a minute .. . particularly this game

    Their offense is hot trash, and Im guessing Nene is going to be matched up with adams.

    Hopefully D’Antoni talked them at halftime. We shall see.

    But Rockets gotta play much better.

    The energy for us was the best with the Clint., house , green, rivers , and Gordon lineup.

    Would like to see Clark get PT if green and house keep struggle from deep or get into foul trouble .

    PJ has been a bit worn down ...need a good strong half from him .

    Let's see how much James has saved . If he's got juice we could pull it out ... but if he had to burn up a lot of effort in the first half we could get blown out quickly .
