    CJ had a lay up. He simply told him to keep cutting.

    We gotta stop Dwight. Meyers, perhaps? It's quite clear Plumlee isn't doing it.

    Yes. We definitely need to pick up new front court pieces. Plums would be great off the bench though. Good front courts eat ours alive

    Great drive/dish by Harkless. The more I see him, the more I want him at SF over Aminu. I wonder what he'd do if we committed to him as a starter...

    Rockets are exploiting a mismatch...credit them. Plumlee can't stop Howard in the paint

    Houston won't keep shooting like this, and we know we can score on these guys.

    He shows flashes, but he just doesn't play with the consistency Aminu does. Aminu is not the most consistent player either, but he puts out a ton of effort and is a huge defensive presence every night. I don't think that Harkless slacks off, but he does have a tendency to go invisible at times.

    I got to admit, I am jealous as hell of those of those Chinese language jerseys the Rockets have. We got to one up them. I want to see advertisements for Saint Seiya Online in Mandarin on the front of ours.

    Aminu is a better shooter and defender. Maybe Harkless could be as good on defense if he played with the amount of effort Aminu does.. But he doesn't.

    Balanced scoring yet again from the good guys thus far. Everyone that has played has points on the board. Meanwhile it's the Howard and Harden show on the other side, no one else has scored.

    I don't wanna feel like I'm trying to read a Chinese menu when I look at our players, thank you.

    He didn't hesitate at all to shoot that shot. That's what he needs to do.

    I agree that Harkless hasn't done anything to earn the start, but he's certainly shown to have more potential that Aminu. Aminu does try hard, but a lot is wasted effort resulting in one step forward and one step back.
