    Its puzzling for me that we cant construct a roster deep enough with length and athleticism like what Masai had constructed after post Kawhi era. Does the rockets have a good eye on new talent? The only draftees that I could remember since Morey came that were good to okay were

    Capela, hartenstein, ab, landry, batum(traded), and covington if i can remember correctly he started with the rox and thats about it

    Rockets penny pinch with depth. It’s really not hard to figure out.

    Better question is how big of a lead will the Rockets blow tonight? 15? 20?

    MDA’s DHO Drags from both 21-Series (aka Pistol) and Thru-Series, plus his new Pin-Down for Corner 3 will destroy Box and 1.

    “Fun stuff”

    This is a must win game to set some tone going down the stretch. If they lose tonight could be a red flag thrown somewhere, where mike needs to figure out whats going on. Right now there is absolute NO DEFENSE being played. If they just slow the pace a bit, and let Westbrook and Harden do there stuff, and create buckets on turnovers. Maybe it be a nice 115-99 win, tonight not some 163-162 Lost 2 OTS, in Toronto.

    They are doubling Harden immediately.

    There should be a play right after he gets doubled.. but of course there is none.

    It has nothing to do with penny pinch. Rookies, 2nd round picks, undrafted, and 10 day contracts are really dirt cheap, the problem is finding them. Morey likes to go for the stat proven role players with limited potential. Like the 6 year Kentucky undersized power forward. Or the 30 year old European point guard. Dude cannot see talent that's why he keeps boasting about the Harden trade.
