    One would think that at this point KJ would have gotten an extended look to see what he's got. It has to be better than what Brewer is bringing. I swear McHale is sending JB instructions via an earpiece.

    This team is in shambles... this is such a disgrace. These underachievers dont look like they made any effort to improve in any facet of the game. When they open their mouth talking about playing with more effort on defense, it's basically just lip service.

    So a week ago,

    when Memphis traded for Chalmers, people are laughing for such an useless and meaningless trade of Memphis.

    and 2 weeks ago, people here saying Thornton could be the best Morey signing ever.

    LOL

    Another 14/15 point deficit to climb out of.

    Portland was a needed win but by no means did they "turn the corner".

    Needed a herculean effort from Harden(like in all their wins) and a Corey Brewer one-footed miracle three.

    Are you watching the game? Lawson is hurting the team more than anyone.

    Yes maybe if it was a +-5 but that's a 20 point differential in a Half of a game.

    Terry +3 in 14 minutes
    Lawson -17 in 10 minutes

    Who was in the court when we got a 40 quarter and in OT win last game? Yes Terry... How was in the bench? Yes Lawson.

    A 40 years old should not be out starting PG but looking on our options Terry is the best by far.

    and Knicks are beating OKC at the half. Tomorrow's not going to be easy either.

    Can't believe out of the 3 Texas teams, we are now the most likely to miss the playoffs SMH

    I think just from the eye test without looking at numbers the team shows more effort in grabiing def rebounds. Baby steps.

    We've only given up 5 so far, which is beating our 13ish a game pace!

    Actually we are not. NBA is the easiest of the 3 to get into the playoff.

    The dumb thing is we picked up a true PG for a systemless system.
    It shows how truly awful coaching is. TOs are indicative of a systemless system also. Every pass is an unorchestrated surprise heave. And obvious AF. And nowhere near optimal timing. Our whole offense is one giant never ending wet fart flapping for 48 minutes.

    They are definitely playing harder but just not better. They have missed some pretty good shots, corner threes, and Memphis has just played better. They are not losing this game on effort.

    Memphis took Allen out of the game and that's really when their offense took off since the Rockets were allowed to help off of him and they barely paid him any attention. Will be interesting to see if Memphis tries to get him back in there.

    Rockets are far from being out of this game, they just have to adjust defensively and actually hit some open 3s.

    in an interview by rich and ted, they had kevin harlan, also friends with mchale. he basically said he knows what happened and called harden a 'rat'. it was a good awkward interview. he was supposed to be talking about texans v jets.

    Lawson has been a disappointment
