    We do, I agree, but it certainly isn't easy when Jabari is your center out there. Man I don't remember what it's like to have true rim protection.

    DFS is a saboteur. He still is on the Lakers payroll

    The problem is the Rockets don’t run plays and haven’t practiced them all year. They tried running a few in the first six minutes and they look sloppy as hell.

    So now Okogie comes in and DFS out? Why even play around like this? This is not some regular season game. Play your best players.

    He was automatic on them for long stretches of last season

    The Lakers scored an average amount of pts and we're down 7.

    Like normal, if we were at all special, we'd be ahead. Fck this.

    Nah.

    Kingston Flemings is a better engine than anyone on the Rockets. And any injured Rocket as well.

    Defense, rebounds, and fast breaks/put backs. It’s our only hope.
