    I loved Arcain...she was my favorite. She was the silent killer. Cool as a cucumber but deadly as a snake. She signed my Arcain jersey now hanging on our wall.

    I think Harden is playing injured. JMO He needs to be benched a couple games, but he won't do it. Someday he will regret playing injured...you can only gamble so long before you have to pay the price.

    I think we should sit Harden for a week.
    Just sit him . .. load management. . .psychological exam. . . rest what ever
    Let the other players play . . . .
    NONE OF THE ROCKETS seem to have their legs under them

    I am not concerned about playoff position (beyond not being 8th)
    Just go in with ENERGY

    DanAndToni not being able to get them up for games is on him
    Either the Players are simply DOG TIRE or they are DOG TIRED OF HIM
    either way it is his own fault.

    Get some better rotations .. . .maybe too late since you ground them into dirt
    Ego cannot stay on the court

    It’s obvious this team needs to start Green and move PJ back to the 4, but D’Antoni is usually slow to make the obvious adjustment just like he’s slow with timeouts.

    Janeth was like Cynthia Cooper lite. .. . . .The drop off when she came in was not that great

    If Harden is playing injured he will 100% regret it. .. it will cost him EVERYTHING

    I believe we might be tanking for the 8th seed.

    We didn't look this bad before small ball. Admit it isn't working and bring back Harty and Chandler. If you want small ball, then find some much better 3 pt shooters who are not afraid to shoot.

    Agreed.


    Tucker 7
    Coving 7
    House 6
    --------
    Strtrs 20

    Green 18
    Carrol 10
    ---------
    Bench 28

    Maybe Green should start . . .and Maybe Carroll

    Too many games of PJ and House with Sub-10 pts

    Green - Carroll - Covington - Harden - Russ <--- starters

    Will EGO play again?

    Harden and Westbrook can't do it all themselves. When you got 3 other starters who don't reach double figures in points, it is tough to win. Changing Green for House may help that

    Three guys that played a lot in the 4th quarter that needs more minutes; Carroll, Sefolosha, and Bruno. Second chance points were limited and the interior defense and rebounding was a lot better. But MDA is going to MDA. He’s going to go back to lineups that don’t work.

    I saw that **** too. Is losing by 20 at home funny to him?! If I were a reporter I’d ask him about it after the game. Too bad no one in the local media has a pair of balls to do it.
