    For WHOOOOOO, Clemmons is a guard, and hes not gonna get minutes over Harden, Westbrook,Gordon, Rivers, its not happening at all.

    Fraizer......thats the solution....thats what wins us this game....Friazer? Do you know how bad a dude a must be if hes not playing over these two??? Your counting on a g-league scrub to come in and fix out team? Hartenstein...sure, but nah, Fraizer who no one has ever seen...im good.

    MDA doesn't trust young players. We should give it up already. I'm okay with trading Capela so we can just get a steady those of Isiah, even if he struggles at time.

    I know eventually we will start shooting well again and that Capela will get better, but my patience has run out. I know we aren't winning the championship anyways. Championship teams are good to great defensively. Sadly that's not us.

    You seriously must have missed all my other posts quoting flawed roster construction exaggerated by substandard coaching.

    We aren't expecting Rockets to win every game. No one is expecting perfection. It's the way we lose that irks me. When things start to fall, it feels the team is helpless and don't have things to try. Early in Q4 Lebron was getting rest, that laker lineup had issues scoring. But we were still cold. So the lead more or less stay the same. Then he came back in, and the lead widen.

    Yes, we can point to Dwight's dirty shot on PJ. Lebron flopped several times. Harden got mis called on the phantom offensive foul, and BMac's offensive foul was a no call. The officiating this game wasn't bad as the Grizz games, but Rockets have to rise above all that.

    We're too rigid. We had something good going with James' iso but if you do it all game, opponents not just adapt 'conceptually', they're getting practice at it. Ironic thing is that opponents double team isn't rigid. Unlike early in the season with Nick Nurse; Raptors did it the entire game. Recent games opponents seem to do it sparingly in 1st half, then ramp up in 2nd half.

    If players salary are expensive, can we pay a mil or two extra to get a good defensive assistant coach?

    You can't bust out the "Do you know how bad a dude must be" line when MDA is playing Tyson "help, HEEEELP" Chandler over Isiah "+39" Hartenstein.

    He is right BUT....

    This is the guy that basically played on teams running ISO plays.

    And also the guy that couldnt play basketball other than push people in the blocks.

    And also the guy that was the reason that OKC lost Harden and broke up their super team.

    And also the guy that has someone translate English and write for him on twitter.

    Defensive rebounding cost us that game. Bring back Faried man........I don’t care how bad his defense is, he can rebound and get us easy buckets. He averaged 14 and 10 for us l, I don’t see what he did wrong to get the sack.

    Are we still talking ships now?

    2nd and 3rd round are in danger if they cannot improve.

    Running an offense, making good plays. Thats fine, but every good play Russ, does he makes a bunch of bone headed ones that cost us. And James is the better offensive player, I dont care what your shitty eye test tells you, you dont know crap about basketball. Wanna know why its so easy to double James this...year...HINT HINT

    Maybe, harden and mda just plotted to make use of a couple of games (say 4 in a row) showing morey how far we are away from a championship podium and how terrible our roles are;)
    A pressure imposed on morey
