    Lopez was going to have a good game against anyone of our current bigs. The guy has shot 51% throughout his career on a bad team. We should have doubled quicker. I disagree that Capela played defense on Lopez any better than Nene did. But who would you rather have on the line at the end of the game?

    If our 2nd star was Dwight instead of Gordon, we would've lost this game 100%

    Good to point that out. We are somewhat overdependent on them.

    While I love so much of what MDA is doing, he is really hurting Capela's development by not playing him 36 minutes a game. Just double Lopez in the post and make them beat us otherwise. Lopez can't get a rebound if it hit him in the face.

    And Gordon needs to be playing 34 to 36 minutes per game. It's bad enough he doesn't start, but he HAS to get those minutes for us to be elite!

    Corey Brewer shooting a 3 is basically akin to half court shot attempt. Dude needs to wear a shock collar, and D'antoni needs to shock his ass everytime he gets the funny idea to attempt a 3.

    18-7 seven game winning streak and beating some really good teams in the mix.
    Who would've thought we would be this freaking good.


    Keep it up Red Nation Rockets

    i see what you're saying but Nene was there for a long stretch of the game and it didn't work, i would try doubling lopez with montrez on him or played more capela in the fourth since he only played 19 mins. Having fresh legs could help grab a rebound or block a shot.

    4th best record in the league! We passed the Clippers (at least until the end of their game with Portland)!

    I think Brewer's career is over once his contract is up.. Dude is the skinniest player in the league for a reason. Hopefully he get help for whatever reason that is.

    I just think the Nets have the Rockets number... Last year, the Rockets had Howard, who we consider a much better defender than Nene or Capela, and they were still getting burned by this team. Sometimes teams, no matter how terrible of a record they may have, can play great against certain teams.
