    No idea how but hope the CBA deals with players sabotaging their current teams to force a trade with zero leverage when they have more than one year remaining on contract.    maybe a compensati

Does anybody have a link to a game stream? 

Just speaking generally, but I like this site for finding NBA streams.

Had 11 in the 1st....need 11 in the 4th to.set nba record for 3s in a game lol.

2nd and 3rd were kind of weak with the 3s

Currently 111-83.

8:50 left in the 4th.

Well set new franchise record for 3s in a game.


Boogie was trying to set the nba record lol....launching shit the last minute

Rockets franchise record 28 3’s.

No lube on the Thunder for 6 straight

How has OKC won 8 games this year? They are awful.
Yeah they have like 3 legit nba players and a bunch of trash lol

This team could sneak into the 4 spot if they can stay healthy and happy.

from everythig john wall has said since the harden trade, they're definitely happy.  staying healthy is another issue all together...

There is reason for cautious optimism. If the Rockets win the upcoming game against the Grizzlies in Memphis, I'll be a believer. Also hoping these guys will continue to behave responsibly to prevent missing games due to COVID tracing.

Why would a game with the 9-6 Grizzlies with a +2.6 point differential be a touchstone?

The game is on the second night of a back to back on the road against a team that I think will make the playoffs. The team is improving in health and play, but none of these wins on the current streak have struck me as newsworthy. 

I don't see it on Memphis.  Their record is a bit of an anomaly with 6 of their last 9 games being postponed.

That being said, I think Top 3 are pretty well set in some form.

4-12 will be a fight to the end.

 

WTF is Dallas doing?

I am enjoying this run and think we are better than people think but we will cool off and IF we make the playoffs it will be in the 6-8 range.

That's the reality. But I'm not sold Memphis either. Or Utah for that matter. Can they maintain that energy for the whole season?

It’s all about health and this team hasn’t shown the ability to stay on the court.

no sga for okc tonight.  should extend the winning streak.

The Rockets are load managing Wall as well, while it's also likely that Oladipo is load managed tomorrow against Memphis.

I hope we can continue to play good ball, especially once we get some tougher schedule stretches, and Vic O’ La Deep decides to sign with us. Love his game, and feel like the structure of our team as is right now benefits from his game and attitude.

nevermind.

We had some pretty solid defense cooking for a few games in a row during that streak, but it has not been there the last two nights. Really thought they were building towards something, hope that wasn’t a mirage.

I think Houston has lost every game Wall has missed since the Harden trade. Tonight the Rockets have a 13 point half time lead at Memphis with Wall playing. When he is out, like last night, the Rockets really don't have another player on their roster that can create for others and run the offense like he does.

It also doesn't help that Oladipo was playing in Antarctica.

I guess this is where only carrying two bigs on the roster is going to come back to haunt the Rockets.

Oladipo out tonight.

WTF, these injuries and lineup shuffles are fucking getting ridiculous.

 

Also, I love PJ Tucker, but he has been horri-bad.  He isn't a fit on this team  His skillset (at least what he used to bring to the table)would be better suited for a contender that needs a solid wing defender.

 

The load management playing time is so fucking dumb. Why do you need load management when you have a day off between games? And since when does playing a back to back mean it's too tough on the body? I know we live in different times but it's getting dumb. 

Yeah these past few games have been awful. Without Wall on the court this team has no chance to run anything resembling an offense.

Back on the trading Tucker, Oladipo, and whoever else. This team has way too many fucking guards and not enough forwards.

I assume you meant bigs, and not forwards. We don't need any more undersized players. Need bodies on the roster that are at least 6'10" that can rebound and play defense.

Sitting Wall and Gordon out simultaneously was boneheaded. Come on Silas, you couldn't keep them on minutes restrictions and have them play in platoon? This coaching staff has yet to impress.

No I meant forwards. We have 1 guy on the roster that gets regular playing time that is in the 6'6" to 6'9" range. I agree only having Cousins to play the 5 position is fucking abysmal roster construction. But even with Wood and Cousins forming a really good 5 combo, there are no other forwards besides House on the team. Just a fuck load of 6'3"-6'5" guys and outside of Wall, none that can create open looks for the other guards on the team.

Fine offensive quarter for sure, but return to much better D.

Jimmy Buckets just willing them on at the end there. He’s impressive.

Love the Heats unis and court.

Why? Wall and Oladipo are a very good two way back court. Wood is playing at an all star level, and the team is full of the right mix of veterans and new comers with something to prove.

Sure everything could come crashing down as Wall, Oladipo, Wood, Cousins, and Gordon have not shown recently that they can play full seasons, but when healthy this team is top 5-6 in the west on paper.

It's the Houston sports way

tied for the 6th worst record in the league with 3 straight loseable games coming up.  need to lose them all.

Shouldn't be a problem for this team.

good loss.  they need to trade oladipo.  team is too good with him.  trade him to the knicks for whatever + their 2021 1st round pick (lottery protected).  the knicks should make the playoffs this year so it's another mid round pick.  sit wood for the rest of the season.  best case scenario, the rockets pick in the top 4 + have two more mid to late first round picks this year.

I liked Boogie as a teammate. As a basketball player, not so much.

This after guaranteeing his contract yesterday. Go smaller, what the fuck, they do realize it doesn't work, right.
