    Per ESPN stats...

    Black (6'9'') and Nene (6'11'') are the Rockets' two heaviest players (250 lbs).

    But guess who's third (245 lbs)...

    6'6'' -- Tucker


    That boy is solid

    Btw. Don't you think Tucker should be regular starter?

    I remember when Ariza first arrived here as 'our first option' on Offense. Good times. :D

    He could not dribble to save his life. Or shoot efficiently off dribble.

    I think there's enough offensive power even if Ariza is cold. Tucker is like ... Draymond Green.

    Also Anderson is a beast off the bench. I love andersons game as a scorer and not just a spot up guy.

    Yeah Matt Thomas was great in the 90’s, but it seems he’s fallen into the wrong crowd since then. All the alt-right Bannonite undertones to his show, plus having to travel with his wife to all those white nationalist marches like the one in Charlottesville...it can’t be helpful for his announcing chops. Always staying up til 4am to go on internet message boards and troll the “libtard snowflakes”. Come on Matt you’re better than that

    Lol I remember, he got a lot of hate.

    We tried to develop Ariza into something he wasn’t... a star. He definitely had the talent but he’s just a bad ball handler & unless you’re a big man, that’s an unconditional trait for today’s NBA. He used to be a better finisher, now that he’s older he’s a below average finisher. He’s an incredible role player though.

    I remember there was game where Ariza, K Mart & I think maybe Lowry all had 30 + points, we thought those guys were the future lol. How times change.

    Yup, he could go for 30 for 3 or 4 games.

    Fun game to attend! I think CP3 will be just fine as a Rocket.

    Didn't get to watch the game last night but smh at the weak ass crowd in this video. Imagine how hype MSG, Chesapeake, Moda, TD Garden or the Oracle would be if they witnessed their 2 stars trying to outdo each other in a blowout 1st half.

    Road games are actually more exciting for me this season. It's just way more entertaining when the fans are fully engaged in the games.

    The new owner has got to do something to fill the arena. This is ridiculous for such a great team.

    It's been trash since the 90s to be honest. The weak reaction to T-Mac's 13 in 33 seconds is the prime example of that.

    When the crowd is dead, the PA announcer should tone it down. He's pretty annoying regardless though. It reminds me of this:
