    Yeah. Harden is the only one that could break down the defense. Everybody else is a scrub. :rolleyes:

    When did D-Mo become the 2nd coming on Nowitzki on here? He averaged 12/6 for crying out loud. Golden State have about 7/8 players on their roster better than him.

    How did the Rockets win when Howard was out for 41 games? :confused:

    One thing about Dmo that I really appreciated it was that he was unselfish and was good at moving the ball. Partly thanks to Harden the Rockets aren't good at looking for the open man. They take unnecessary contested shots like crazy.

    James Harden carrying the team virtually by himself & finally having an elite defense for once under McHale.

    D-Mo is a good player but he wouldn't even be in the Warriors rotation.

    of course he would.
    What a series of awful posts you have made these last two days.
    One more ignorant than the other.

    BTW still waiting for you to name me 15 wings and 15 pgs better at defence than Ariza and Bev.

    :confused:Elite defense you say?

    Without Howard for 41 games. Without Beverley for 26 games. How did we have elite defense?:confused:

    Virtually by HIMSELF?

    So who did the rockets go to against the Wolves in Minnesota?

    Who did the rockets go to against Nuggets down the stretch last year?

    Hard not to be. Celtics play hard, Rockets hardly play. Hopefully that changes, but given the last 3 games it's hard to be optimistic.

    The Celtics have been beaten badly by The Rockets in Houston in recent years. Jones plays really well against Boston. Houston has some all stars; the Celtics don't. Boston's on the second night of a back to back.

    On the other side, Boston's been playing better of late.

    Anybody's game. You never know.

    I'm struggling to think of situations where we'll score efficiently on Boston...

    It's gonna take more than DMO to save this squad. I love DMO's post presence but until we play as a cohesive unit ain't nothing going to change.

    Boston's bigs are very bad defensively. Sully is a fat butt and Olynyk has problems boxing out, blocking shots or whatever.
    That's how you can score efficiently. Near the Basket.

    Or posting up IT but I don't think that Harden will be able to do it.

    At this point I don't care they better win. Buying tickets and League Pass for this team is starting to feel like a total waste of money. Prediction:Jones will go for 30 we win by 10, lol.

    Also if Pat Bev healthy he should probably start at this point. Lawson/Harden duo sucks defensively.

    Starting lineup should be

    Howard
    Jones
    Ariza
    Harden
    PatBev

    No small ball.
