    Thabo is better than House. If anything he should play more minutes, whatever it takes to get House less minutes.

    Harden can no longer represent a franchise. He always disappear on big moments. Sad, but true fact.

    I was dead wrong about the Lakers. I thought they had no depth and the inevitable injuries to Brow and LeBron would sink them. But they play good defense and actually pass the ball instead of jack up 3s all game.

    Without Harden the Rockets are a lottery team. With him not playing well they are too.

    House +2

    Harden -12.

    Well that is something you don't see everyday.

    Lebron is a leader.

    50x the leader Harden is, unfortunately.

    When you become an MDA favorite, no amount of garbage can juice will get you out of his favor. Bmac can shoot but is an idiot at every other aspect of the game. Clemons can do the eact same thing he can. House is tall but no longer hustles, shots shot, or grabs rebounds. Frazier can do the same thing he doesn't do.

    Youre seriously not focusing on the underlying issues (coaching, owner, culture)

    House has been really bad on offense, Maclemore really bad on defense. Clint was okay. Tucker was alright... Westbrook was good for one half and then sub par for the second. And James cant even get it gong because he gets doubled, and hes a little lazy passing out of double teams. But he was still out best player...no one to give him any help for a full 48 minutes.

    3 of the Rockets starting 5 absolutely can not create thier own shot, and cannot score unless being spoon fed buckets from Harden or Russ.

    Only 1 player off the bench can even "somewhat" create his own shot, but his handle is trash, can't pass, and he constantly makes bad decisions when he has to dribble.

    House still defends.

    His shoulder got ****ed and it ruined his offense however.

    Umm believe it or not...our defense can get worse, you are suggesting putting Clemmons in at the forward sport where he will get killed.

    The Rockets really make me depressed lately since I watch every single game up until the final buzzer.

    It's depressing to think our real fans care more about the team winning than the owner, coach, players and maybe even Morey!

    If you ask me, I am ready to make monster trades not involving Westbrook and Harden. Everybody is available if we can get the right mix of players that are going to help us.
