Great fourth qtr on both ends of the court! Nice to win again!

This game felt more like the old RR. Completely changed the pace of the game when he was in, but ended up with a relatively underwhelming box score. Like what we saw from the new guys.

Gelabale had 21 minutes, 11 points. I predicted 20 minutes, 12 points. Bonussssss

Scuse me? What makes you think that? How many games has he ever "owned" in the NBA? I think 1. Maybe 2. Why would he start now. We just hope for a relatively productive game from him, that's all.

Told ya'll Chris Johnson is a hooper. Same thing as Anthony Randolph except he knows his limitations a bit more.

Yeah, I know, right. Just disappointing to watch the game sitting right there for someone to take over and he is fumbling away his chances. He played practically all the first half, and even had a look of respectability with leading the scoring at half with 11. Rockets TV at half even used him as the Wolf they briefly highlighted. But it included 3 turnovers and all the fumbling around too that could have been so much more productive.

I know, I just have to accept he isn't going to do more...even now with the opportunity right there. And then he can't even beat the new guys out for 4th qtr playing time. Crazy.

Derrick jus has some stone hands to be honest. That ball loves to deflect off those things. Rebounds, passes to him, when he's dribbling, going to the basket. It's crazy

How about Gelabale's defense on Harden? I think he may play the best D at 2 guard we have seen since Corey Brewer (and even then Brewer was more gamble-y).

These new guys just got paid. Kahn is going to give them each a 4 year contract forsure!!

But I'm not buying into the hype..oh no not this time...we've gone through this merry go round too many times. New guy comes in, gets the fans excited because we are so desperate, we look for anything to latch on to. New guy gets paid. Where is the new guy in 2 years??

No, nobody think Johnson is amazing. he is just a better option than sweet Lou. And given how bad Steimsma looks, maybe him at the moment. At full health, he wouldn't get off the bench much, still.

Holy crap the wolves won. I didn't see that coming, although the Rockets have been playing really poorly lately. I think this is their 6th straight loss. Looking at the box score, it appears as if the entire Rockets starting lineup played like crap.

See what happens when you fill Lazar Hayward's roster spot with a legit NBA player? Kahn, please take note of this for future roster moves. I always though Chris Johnson looked solid when I saw him play for the Blazers & Celtics, he will do a decent job playing around 10-15 mpg while we're injured. He brings some much needed athleticism to the roster as well.

AK47 played 42 minutes. Man, I do'nt know about that. You gotta get the win, but this can't be good thing. His back is going to start hurting.
