Gary Clark waived. Rockets still about 320k into the luxury tax. But Capela's incentives could push that higher.

Nene could be traded or waived to get out of the tax completely.

$320k seems like chump change

That sucks. Gary was playing pretty well in very limited minutes. I would imagine somebody will give him a shot.

It's not about the tax so much as avoiding the repeater tax.

Alright boys, our team is finally fully healthy and ready to make a run.

We currently sit in 3rd in the West at 24-11, 5 games back from the Lakers.

We have the #1 offense in the league (surprisingly) averaging 119.4 PPG.

We are in the bottom third in defense giving up 113.9 PPG.

We have a back-to-back on the road starting tonight against the Hawks then the Thunder. Tomorrow's game will be interesting with the Russ and CP trade, obviously.

The trade deadline is on February 6th.

The big prize for the Rockets right now is Iguodala, but I don't like our chances to land him.

How can we even get iggy without giving up PJ. The contracts don't add up without PJ and that won't happen.

From an article I read a couple of weeks ago, we tried multiple team trades but Grizzlies wouldn't give in. Looks like buyout is our only hope.

The offense and defense numbers are inflated because of our pace. We actually have the #2 offense and #16 defense in the league when you scale by pace. We put up and give up a ton of points because we have so many possessions in our game.

Also Robert Covington is someone we've been looking at.

Not sure who else. I'm sure names will emerge.

He's a stud. I think everyone wants him.

Rumored deal of Kuz, Cook, and Boogie for Covington. Doesn't fix their PG problem, though.

Capela with 17 rebounds in the third isn't bad.

Another 3rd quarter meltdown. I guess that's why you play 4.

House has not been good since he as been back.

He's really slumping. With PJ also struggling with his shot it limits our options.

He can't carry them all season. Asking too much of one ballboy. They need to get him some help so he can be rested for the playoffs.

Trae Young has a long way to go if he wants to be considered the next James Harden.

1. Made as many three-pointers as James but only attempted 11. Really, Eleven? That's not even three per quarter. The Beard took TWENTY.

2. Made double-digit field goal attempts with 11 (out of 30). Hey look at me, I can shoot 37% from the floor! James was 9 for 34. 26% son, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

3. Only had three turnovers. C'mon kid, drive into quadruple teams. That's how the pros do it. James had 8 without breaking a sweat.

4. Grabbed 13 rebounds to James' 10. You know what a rebound is? Jumping but not being able to shoot. In other words, jumping for no reason.

On the plus side, another loss, for a dazzling 8-30 record putting them in cruise control toward a solid 59th straight year of not making the FInals.

Not sure where Atlanta ranked on that chart earlier this season correlated with Harden's performance but based on tonight's performance I would say he enjoyed some time at an adult establishment last night.

I thought the theory was that he didn't play well in cities with good "adult entertainment "??

What a weird f****** post.

Harden leads Young in every shooting percentage category this year, and averages 10 more ppg.

Pretty sure Atlanta is the Mecca for strip clubs so James probably had a massive hangover while dropping a 40 point triple-double.

Mocking Harden via a faux Trae critique for not having as bad of stats as Harden in this one game, while noting how terrible the Hawks are, is an odd take for a Rockets fan. Harden has carried the team.

I'll be curious if Trae is more Celtics era Isaiah Thomas or Allen Iverson, neither of which were close to Harden offensively, and were worse defensively. Just a matter of longevity I guess.
