The Rockets are playing very well. Shannon is OUT again for tonight's game. Like the Spurs game, I assume this is a loss. But then we should be on to better things in November!
I'll be traveling a bit after tonight, so someone else can take over GDT duties...

Hmmm what's up with Shannon? Kind of an important piece with Ant out, so you'd like to see him available

Fell on his hip hard after a foul late in the game against the Clippers when he should have been relaxing on the bench. Fell on the hip again hard against San Antonio.

I see Donte flew to Houston with the team. Good to see him around the team more now, and another step towards him eventually coming back.

Yeah, that is really good to hear. His optimism about his return on his pod with Jon K was heartening. I think we might see both him and Ant playing in early January...a couple terrific scorers to add for the last 3 months of the season!

The shooting we could put on the floor if everyone is healthy is absurdly good. Ant, Ball, and DDV alone are high volume snipers that hardly need any daylight to get a shot off. And I believe the only way to beat San Antonio in a playoff series is to outshoot them from 3 in both volume and accuracy.

It's a lineup worth considering against the Spurs!

Heck, throw TJ in there to drive to the cup to collapse the defense and force Wemby guard the paint if Ant is slower. Those 6 players could be a decent rotation / solution for a lackluster end to the first half. Go quick and active in the 3rd quarter to change the game if needed. They would be a ton of fun for a few minutes.

You really don't want Wemby guarding the paint, you want him on the perimeter, which is why more of a 5-out offense makes sense. With Rudy and Joan (to a slightly lesser degree) he can just park his ass in the paint and there is almost no one that can score on him in there.
