We look like a playoff team to me. A top 3 of Wood, Oladipo, and Wall is pretty strong, and Silas has done a very good job getting the young guys to play defense and with tempo.

A real neat video on how the Rockets from 1996-2002. It ends with the Olajuwon not signing in Houston and drafting Yao but should have ended when Rudy resigned to treat to his cancer.
The Rockets were playing well up until Rudy left. If Rudy doesn't get sick I think Rudy would have developed Francis better than JVG. Maybe Eddie Griffin could have been saved. The big 3 of Griffin, Yao, and Francis all under 25 would have been so nice if it worked out.
That early 2000 Rockets could have been what the Memphis Grizzlies are doing now.
Russ woulda prolly gone 60-20-20 If Soften had played.
That team regularly gives up 140 points. That's probably not a good sign. Luckily they are led by the defensive mastermind duo of Steve Nash and Pringles. I'm sure they will get it fixed by the playoffs...
Damn. And guess who has the #1 defense since the Harden trade
Basically what everyone expected, especially since they traded LaVert and Allen.
To be fair not a lot of games with everyone healthy....
Pretty wild stuff though - their lack of depth gonna kill them in the playoffs I think.

Yep. I get the sense they'll be a fun team to watch during the rest of the season and will probably pull of a long streak of wins. Once crunch time hits in the playoffs and games become more defensible/intense, I think it'll be hard for them to win with their defense as constructed.Aggie09Derek said:

They should consider shopping Kryie to pick up some defense/depth.
Scorching hot start tonight. Love seeing defense turn into easy buckets. It's also nice to watch a coach who has offensive sets and plays.

With some defense.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
I think you're gonna be happy.Aggie09Derek said:
I'm definitely shocked but I still highly doubt we make the playoffs.
Happy to be wrong.
Let's see how they handle being on fire to start

don't know how much you are gonna get for Cryrie, who may not even show up to play for the next team. I think they're stuck with what they've got. Best hope is to pick up some waived guys who want to gravy train for a ring.Texan_Aggie said:Yep.

My goodness Wood is swatting the f&@k out of some shots.
So, is it time to consider the possibility that this team is legitimately good?
I mean the defense is really good. I don't think they are going to win it all. But I think they are legitimately good.

Just imagine if Wall gets back to his old true form.

Anybody sad James is gone? His attitude permeated the team. Much better attitude now.

I'm appreciative of what he has done for this franchise but so happy to see this new lineup. This is fun.

Most 3s ever for Rockets was without JH

That was a beatdown.
I love watching this team play defense.

Don't miss James at all at the moment. This season could have gone a lot of different ways with how it started but so far this team looks very competitive. I'm excited to see us play with energy every night and it seems like every guy on the team is playing like they have something to prove.
As I've said since the moment that the trade occurred....
Wall >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Westbrook
WHERE ARE MY HATERS, I CANNOT SEE THEM THROUGH ALL THESE WINS

Wall wins that one, too. Did when the trade occurred. Anyone who watched Russ closely last year knew that he was due to completely drop off the map.Fat Bib Fortuna said:It was never about talent, it was about durability.HotardRat said:

All I'm saying is that Wall didn't play for more than a year and in the previous two years played 41 and 32 games respectively. this year he's missed 7 out of 19 games already. I'm super excited with the way the team is going, but expecting him to last an entire 82 + the playoffs is a high-risk bet.
And Westbrook is averaging 20.9, 9.4, 9.5 this year. He's not exactly dogfood.

Box scores are highly, highly deceiving with Westbrook, always have been. He has severely hampered their team this year. Incredibly inefficient player.
