    This is Easy We Don't Have Any. This is team doesn't play smart, Houston up by 3 what do we do foul a three point shooter.
    Why NOT foul as soon as he got the ball?
    Harden hits one free throw with 2 seconds left in the game why are we going for the ball in the back court?

    We don't have any Plan B none... Just shot shot and shot No backup plan.

    Yup the formula was
    3 Guards to playmake (Harden Paul Westbrook)
    3 Forwards to 3&D (Tucker Ariza More)
    2 Rim protectors (Capela Nene)

    Now we have
    4 Guards who playmake(Harden Gordon Rivers )
    1 Forward who defends(Tucker)
    3 Rim Protectors (Capela Nene Chandler)

    Getting forwards who can 3&D is the key.

    I think Ariza was the most important part of our winning ways. He's just so versatile on defense. We can't find another Ariza

    Covington is my dream trade target.

    Another Ariza imo

    True
    But I think he's the best (non superstar) in the league at the 3 spot.

    Hopefully he'd be fit for the playoffs.

    Rockets will not win jack **** this season unless they drastically improve the defense. It's a joke and embarrassing.

    Covington is way better than Ariza, but we have no way to acquire him unless the Wolves are crazy about trading for an old Tucker or a less valuable Capela.

    And everyone knows he's good. It isn't some secret. It's like people forgot Minnesota traded Jimmy Butler for him.
