    His rebounding really did help too. We've been terrible at rebounding with no other decent bigs.

    The Rockets really missed Nene on the court this year.

    He looked very good tonight and can still contribute if he can stay healthy.

    The problem is that his health is not something to be confident about. I will be pleasantly surprised if he doesn’t end the year on the IR.

    There is a good chance he is dealt or replaced because of depth issues.

    Still, I love Nene.

    Wow Nene put in some great minutes tonight. Easily noticeable difference maker.

    Daryl needs to trade for another Center, Montrezl Harrell Type is needed especially against the Warriors who play at such a high, fast pace that Nene, Ryan Anderson is useless. Draymond Green makes Clint look useless especially guarding the 3 point line while Clint can't shot block and rebound against the Warriors style of play.

    We did beat them 5 times last year. 2 in the regular season and 3 in the playoffs. At times Capella struggled against them but clearly he was not "useless". Help would be a good thing certainly.

    tucker plays the small ball five against the warriors in the fourth, and we did just fine with him there. we need an ariza replacement more than a backup 5.

    Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that Nene can still bring it for some minutes, when he is healthy.

    Definitely, our defense needs to get a lot better. An athletic swingman is our biggest need, so Ennis can come off the bench. It's going to be really hard to acquire one though. It was nice to see GG putting up a good effort on the perimeter...

    Once we clear some roster spots (trade Zhou for a 2nd rounder please, or use him to grease another trade), I'd like to see Morey bring up Caboclo now that Nene is back travelling with the team.

    Morey did sign a great contract though. It's essentially 4yrs with Team Option each year. That is, it's all non-guaranteed, yet if he busts out, we are not susceptible to Poison Pill tactics to steal him away.

    The best team friendly contract there could be. Talk about leverage
