    While I can't stand him, I agree. Plus Collins knowing he's gonna get some time should get him pumped. Maybe he'll bring some bench energy.

    You are fine on this. But knowing Stotts he will stay rigid in all he does. He will start Davis and bring Leonard off the bench. Collins or Swanigan will get limited run if any. Look more for Aminu playing more PF.

    Yeah, Capella is going to be throwing down lobs...if he does start Nards should guard Anderson and noah should guard capella.

    Dude, when the team is going good these days off in between don't suck nearly as much. But when we suck having 2 games in 7 days suck. It's like "Im hopeful we changed" mixed with "Just delaying the inevitable... just move on from these next few games and see if results happen".

    I hate this many days between games as a fan.

    With Nurk out, i like to see Zach Collins as the starting center. Capela is a good matchup for him and he is quick enough to defend the Pnr with Harden. But I bet Stotts let Meyers start and Ed is the backup..

    Man fuck meyers and fuck Davis, I want to see Collins. You trade up in to the top 10 in the draft and then you don't let your rookie play, that's ridiculous

    Still have to try to compete. Unless you are in "Tank" mode already? Which i never am so there is that. Collins needs minutes yes. The team still needs to play to win. You play your best players and compete as best you can.

    Hate to say it but I smell loss. Have to forget homerism in this one and the following game with GS.

    I want Swanigan, not because of his healthy food diet but for his brute animalism. Hey we lose three in a row . Why Not give Collins and Swan more minutes?.

    Was just out at the Nike ES getting some XMAS shopping done and the Rockets were out there shopping. They said they were in LA for 6 straight days before last nights game in UTAH.......a whole week off with only 1 game. Must be nice.

    Uh oh.....did I do it again. Was claiming I was at the Employee Store bragging or that I talked to some of their guys? Man I hope nobody quits because of this.

    Who says we can not compete with Collins? Just because he's a rookie and skinny? Meyers played good so far but he is still Meyers and Davis gives you nothing except rebounds. But Collins is a prototype of a modern nba big man, he is mobile for a 7ft, can defend and can shot 3. If i'm Stots fuck it i would let him start
