If Lawson not going to be utilized effectively then he'd be more effective coming off the bench when Harden sits. If they can't figure out the Harden/Lawson experiment what other choice is there
this team is jeckyll and hyde...you never know what you're gonna get...unfortunately jekyll and hyde ain't gonna cut it in the playoffs. You need to be consistent.
This team as constructed doesnt know anything. Its clear as day. If they lose to the nuggets because of streetball coaching....or players....
the second harden came in towards the end of the half and in the fourth quarter..the nets went on a huge run... he should carry a lot of the blame.. he's giving defensive advice to others, but can't hold his own...jumps at every pump fake; has to be held accountable..
The problem I have with Terrence Jones is that he's a ball stopper. He holds onto the ball too long, he dribbles too much, his post moves are so slow and predictable. I'd much rather have Harrell play over Jones. McDaniels needs to play also if Brewer doesn't get it together.
They need to make him more involved. He's standing in the corner all game. Our coach's job is to utilize his talent. He said he wanted harden shooting more catch and shoot but he's still playing iso ball. Mchale has to fix the offense or leave.
I agree it is not all on the coach. FTs certainly not. That other stuff a coach can affect though. If Harden was playing for the Spurs he'd get a lashing about some of those lazy jack up 3s he takes. Our coach just lets him do it so why should he stop? Rebounds well the coach had Harrell, Jones, Capela on the bench. He could have stayed big. No he can't get them rebounds but he also can't expect SFs to compete on the boards with PFs/Cs Brewer is just playing bad.. TJ is as well but the coach continues to play him and if you are not punishing players for bad behavior then you are encouraging it. How many times do we have to see TJ take the ball up the court robbing a fast break opportunity from Harden/Lawson or even Brewer? I bet if Jones does that and sits every time he does it he will then stop doing it.
I generally take losses pretty well, but this is different. This is absolutely puke worthy. The worst Rockets regular season loss since that Steve Blake game winner a couple of seasons ago.
I gotta agree after watching this mayhem. Is it just me or did you see Harden really not that excited getting Thornton involved? Les Alexander's blood pressure needs to be checked right now I bet
