    Warriors do a lot with Bogut, but he's a really good passer.

    I think Memphis does it too, but Gasol is a really good passer and shooter.

    Back to being serious. And on that note I'd like to say that Les Alexander look pissed when Drexler brought up: " you spent alot of money but it doesn't look like you are getting your return" I thought Les would have responded " You stupid prick/jerk get the hell out of here, you don't deserve to be announcing the Rocket games ... :grin:

    Beverly dribbled here and there...
    Ariza dribbled here and there...
    Harden was standing there still and watching...
    Howard was walking and laughing
    TJ? Didn't know where he was...

    This is Rockets basketball...

    Yes our players play stupid but I still see our biggest problem as the coach. We can all see the problems but it's like the players are not being told the major problems. Switching on defense is the coaches plan. And by now we all know Dwight should be given the ball more on a night where he's doing well and it's just not happening. We just need a disciplinarian coach and a few role players trades and I think it would turn things around. The problem is JB is not going anywhere until the season is over.

    It would be a great play if Dwight was a good passer or could shoot that shot...

    Yea do we ever see a post up out of a timeout to settle the team down? Or an adjustment in defensive strategy? Never

    Exactly. We have no plan other than dribble hand off. No threat to do anything else. What's the point?

    Both you guys are right. He's right because no one was actually trying to get the ball it's like they were all scared. And you're right because people on Clutchfans tend to ignore Dwight's glaring shortcomings even though he's a "superstar". He's can shoot, pass, hit free throws etc. I will admit though the way he played tonight he should have gotten the ball more. He needs to stop calling for it when he's double teamed though. We let got of two players who knew how to pass Dwight the ball without him having to post up.

    This might be a covert tank job at this point. I really don't see how a team that came back strong would just relinquish all effort on D like that out of the blue. Fatigue clearly didn't set in yet.

    Only joke is on that writer and those who thought they'd win tonight, even against the shorthanded Warriors.

    Thanks for paying attention for the first time on the last night of the year Matt Moore.

    Not the loss to the Nuggets(0-3)
    Not the loss to the Nets(0-2)
    Not the loss to the Mavs, who did the same thing the Warriors did tonight

    but tonight,...tonight did it. Tonight they revealed themselves as the punchline. OK!

    Morey's biggest mistake is let JSmoove go...

    If Josh Smith is still here, our defense won't suck like this...
