15 Thoughts vs. Rockets 11/6

A 1-3 start is not really what we were expecting from this year, but with that brutal opening schedule, it’s hard to really be surprised.  The team has looked good at times and horrific at others, especially defensively.  And actually the offense has been nothing to brag about either.  We’ve seen little movement from the team and too much gunning from Travis Outlaw to ever really get into a rhythm.  Here’s the laymen’s solution…only let Roy and Aldridge touch the ball and we win!  Well, Rudy can spot up in the corner as our only reliable outside shooter. 

Ok, enough ranting and on to tonight’s 15!
