    I'd put money on the kid scoring before Capela.

    It's sad that Harden has to play such games at home to bottom fodder teams. If we only had a coach who was capable of a real system that gets others involved and gives them open looks and a chance to win instead of relying on Harden for everything

    We should be able to rest James for these games and still win easily. All these milage going to hurt us come playoff time.

    Look, I like the Spurs' system too, but it might be going too far to preemptively be sad about our best player playing a home game during a tight playoff race. James gets paid 15 million for this. He'll be fine.

    Hey everyone. I wrote up a film-study breakdown on the Rockets win over the Clippers. Would appreciate some feedback on it. http://wp.me/p4Z2de-eA

    As for tonight's game. With Beverley questionable, if he doesn't play would you keep Terry on Payton for the majority of the game. Say if the game is close, wouldn't you have Ariza/Brewer on Oladipo and Payton. Also the Rockets understand they played poor in their last game vs. Orlando. I'd expect a bounce back performance. Rockets one of the best teams in league in 'take care of business' games.

    We don't have the talent to beat teams easily without Howard and Harden.

    Bryson drops 50.

    Seriously that's a great, classy move by the organization.

    Noooooo, it has to be McHale's fault somehow. Has to be!

    Anyway, I do hope they can find a way to get Harden at least a couple of days' rest once Dwight is back. Seems doubtful, but I'll keep hope alive.

    Damn brah. It's seriously time to shut up and stop whining.

    It's not gonna make McHale go away any faster if every post of yours in the GARM is complaining about him.

    Would love to see Capela get some burn, but not get burned.

    Beverley got schooled by Oladipo last time (if I recall correctly). Could be a blessing in disguise? Brewer/ Ariza check the guy.

    Apparently. How long has it been? Feels like a long time. Did they have to give him a prosthetic ankle or something?

    Bursitis in his elbow.

    I recall Elfrid Payton being the one to eat Bev's lunch last game. We couldn't do anything with him OR Oladipo. I also recall McHale trying Ariza on Oladipo at one point and it not making much difference. Hopefully he isn't in video game mode tonight.

    It'll be a month next Monday. I don't think he's even been on the bench for home games lately.

    Damn..

    This is messed up but made me laugh :grin:



    They need to spank these guys right from the get go. We know what happens when you let them get any confidence. Don't let them even think that they have a chance to win this game.
