    Oh, I agree. MDA starts the game with no center and all you see are layups and dunks and the Rockets down early by double digits. Then he decides to play a center but picks the worst one out of the 3 by playing Chriss. Finally rights the ship with Nene at center and Clark playing at his correct position playing good defense and rebounding. Then down the stretch no Center again and Clark sits on the bench while the Rockets struggle to rebound and defend the paint. Absolutely mind boggling.

    So glad we brought Jeff B back. He truly saved us from getting scored on 75 points in 4th quarter instead of 46

    You know what I meant. A real backup center with Clint being out, and even after that. Nene and Clark aren't the answer.

    Sort of how I feel. If we can stay afloat and push for a top 4 seed then I like our chances for a deep run. No team can lose that many starters and key pieces and be asked to secure Ws and yet because of Harden's greatness we have.

    When have you seen me use a plus minus stat for one game? I mean, I feel like he's the same as last year. And are you gonna blame Dantoni for House? Gary......man, idk guys, alot of people like Gary, I do too, but if you are relying on him to win use games, then this stretch will be rough.

    Just make a crazy shot? Harden was just making the right reads out there. He was being doubled and dudes couldnt hit their shots, its fine, it happens. Dantoni has his issues, but offense is not one of them. DEFENSE, is the thing we need to talk about, cause this is ridiculous. Its bad and we are in the 20s in defensive efficiency.

    You're describing what Harden is doing. So again, D'Antoni--instead of being an actual coach and drawing up plays and making defensive substitutions when necessary--just relies on Harden to make the right plays? Hmm, okay.

    Perfectly put .

    Why not start Nene , see what he can give you , keep Clark at his natural spot that whole time , and give Hartenstein a shot .

    These are decisions that 90% of CF would make ... they are no brainers !!

    MDA tried to get too cute and outsmarted himself

    MDA is clueless idiot.

    Starting Nene brought us a win last game.

    Then he benched Nene and started Clark...SMH.

    We dont need to draw up plays all the damn time, we have system that puts on Harden/Paul in the position to make the right reads, we are top 2-3 in offensive efficiency, there is nothing wrong with the offense. We have man differnt types of screen and rolls to run but it is upon Harden to make the right play. Thats not asking to much of him. Good lord, look at our roster. LOL defensive substitutions, whos this stud defender you got in mind huh??? Doing that has produced historically good offenses, they cant stop what we are doing. Not to say we dont have plays, we do.
