    More Green and Carroll, less House and Gordon. McLemore has also been a no-show tonight. Harden/Westbrook are getting punked by all the charge drawing and throwing Jeremy Lin passes. Tough one to enjoy so far.

    I think the buyout market can only give you so many veterans.

    Green was playing way above his pay grade in other games.

    Westbrook has truly been playing out of his mind. Insane production lately.

    Needs some help tonight

    I get what you’re saying but that was split second action right there. Not sure WB was thinking about that as he turned around to watch the shot.

    Watch it again. Smart jumped up to shoot the shot from behind the line but SOMEHOW landed inside the 3 point line and that’s where I have the issue. Where EXACTLY is the “shooters space/area”?? So now it’s also inside the 3 point line?

    The team needs more defense. We can’t stop them. More Green and Carroll please.

    That wasn’t Hardens fault. He saw his man standing in the corner wide open.

    Kemba being out so they can play smart more minutes is actually worse because kemba is way better on defense

    Very strange,
    Reggie Jackson is better than Green and Carroll.

    The Rockets home win against Boston had them go off in the second half. I look forward to similar results tonight. It would be nice if Gordon could do anything.
