We're Cookin Now! Back to the 'Offs with O'Antoni! 2016 Rockets Season Thread

Like this team a lot except Ryan Anderson. Does seem like we overpaid for him. He is a three point threat so I guess it helps spacing though

Harden low key looking like a lefty Earvin "Magic" Johnson

Harrell looks way better this year. Completely outplayed Porzingis yesterday.

Hard to project this Houston team, b/c on one hand, outside of GS, none of the other west teams feel head and shoulders above us. Like SAS and LAC have more name talent and would be the 'favorites' but i'm more worried about our own defensive laps than I am about those squads being insurmountable juggernauts.

At the same time, OKC and Portland fans probably feel the same way about their squad, that they could compete with almost anyone and that they're superstar can out-superstar the next team's.

Just popping in here to other Rockets fans. I've only posted in this section twice last year for some week in review threads for the NFL. I'll come back here and there

I was just starting to believe in this coaching staff, and then they decide we gonna put our defensive stopper Brewer on John Wall

Brewer is more of a passing lane defender than on ball defender. Ariza probably should be the guy to cover Wall. But the Rockets have to continue to play hard especially going after lose balls and long rebounds.

We need Bev back too, I was calling for patience with Ennis, but he's not improving

I need Ennis traded back for Beasley

I tried to go easy on him but dude has been basura

He just looks like a deer in headlights with the ball

Exactly, I'm big on having patience for young dudes, but good lord he seems to have speed and nothing else. Turns it over, can't shoot, barely marginal defense, etc. They could have picked up a D-League guy to do the same stuff without trading Beasley

I think they got rid of Beasley with the idea that DMo signing was an inevitability rather than a possibility

This early season win on the road vs the Spurs are the kind of wins that build the foundation for a great season. Very gritty effort from the Rockets.
