    I thought that's why we signed CJ McCollum, and Rodney Hood. Is CJ not a credible threat making $27 million to be a credible threat?

    So this one of those times when you guys have to tell me...... did Russ have a good or bad game tonight? I always get confused. I mean, nobody on OUR roster got a triple-double, but I always remember in here that’s a BAD thing right? Please set me straight.

    I know we got smacked tonight but on a bright note..... the first 3,000 fans in tonight got a Russ bobble head. Luckily THE HCP knows people. Don’t be jealous!

    he had a decent game, and in his typical fashion, he was kind of a strutting asshole while doing it. Seems like the last time he faced the Blazers didn't teach him a thing

    9-26, 10 assists to 5 turnovers. Meh. His crazy usage is what allows him to rack up big box score numbers but it's also what ultimately ends up holding his teams back. The guy is an incredible workhorse, which is a gift in and of itself, but he has no friggin self control and he clearly ain't changing his ways at this point.

    So isn't Hood good enough or it's on Stotts? It looked like (on the begining of this season and in last playoffs) that if you give him the ball it's money. Now, instead of run more plays for him you bring Melo:) Bit of waste of Hod's shooting skills, but maybe I'm wrong.

    And one more thing. Hood 2/8, Nassir 4/10. I love that Nassir went to S5, but this stuff doesn't look good. Proven shooter vs energy rookie. Do we even have any coach?

    If I was the coach, I'd be eating with Rodney Hood in the post. He's barely utilized. It's criminal. That's the thing. We have players that are being underutilized under this coach.

    Mixed bag I would say. We know he can get a triple double any time he wants to though, for better or for worse.

    Watching Little last night, he reminded me of young AFA when he entered the league.

    Yep, won't work on players like Lebron,Kawai or Harden though.
    CJ can't score 80 points, so there must be some other workaround for this problem.

    He missed 8 threes. He shouldn’t even be taking half that many. If he does that in playoffs, Houston will fail.

    I think the problem has been needing a credible thread from the forward positions.
