    They either need to trade him , bench him , or rest him . He's awful . Can't hit anything , can't defend anyone anymore . I don't care how much he is supposedly covering for other players . We have to get more off ball movement , he doesn't cut anymore . I'd feel better if KJ played .

    Roster overhaul in off-season. No one is safe!

    Well even in 1-1 defense he is getting smoked by everybody. Looking like a Beverly-esque regression in defense, also he can't shoot worth a damn anymore either.

    Give me microfracture $15M Parsons over Ariza.

    And respectfully, shove that "flexibility" up your ass. :)

    Khris Middleton would be an awesome fit next to Harden at SF.

    Give me Batum or throw the max at Barnes please. Something has to change. If Parsons opts out bring him back in a bench role

    Ariza is a bench guy at this point.

    Didn't see tonight's game, but the past few Ariza has been trying to cover his man as well as either Harden's and/or Jones man as well. If anything, Ariza needs a rest.

    That's what I'm saying , something we are doing with him needs to change . Give him a blow , let KJ play for a while

    op doenst konw the significance of how a bad system lead by a careless superstar and a bad coach will impact the whole team, not just a few players.
    not many players in the league can play at a high level consistently in this sorry ass team

    This should be a very good team. I am a huge Rocket team fan and this season just blows. I still watch the games, pull for a win and end up disgusted. Let's just blame everyone. I hope for a good coach next year and some players with more energy and the right priorities next season.

    Ariza is old guys. He's never been a good offensive player. He's a very solid guy off the bench but if him and Capela/jones is your starting forward rotaion then ur in trouble even if we swapped harden for lebron it would be not much better. Morey over evaluated continuity and didn't factor in that Ariza was old has played a Tonof minutes in This league and that the SF and PF poistion on our team is well below avg.

    Worst part is we don't have any young talent waiting in the wings like in years past.
