The 29th Man Appears, as Rockets fall to Blazers 140-129.

So the Rockets are watchable.

They aren’t a winning team, but they’re not a chore to watch. They can’t play a lick of defense, and God knows they can’t protect the paint, especially not against beefy centers, but they’re not a misery to behold.

The Rockets are also, basically, a GLeague team, with a couple of old NBA stagers in Kelly Olynyk and DJ Augustin looking to stick around, get a deal, and be relevant somewhere.

Sure, there are a couple of promising rookies, and a ton of NBA teams would very much like to have Christian Wood on his deal, when he’s available, but mostly, right now, they’re a GLeague team.
