    There were stories during last season that Chris Paul had issues with Deandre Jordan and his perceived lack of giving a **** enough to work on his free throws. I wonder if Paul made a sarcastic comment at Josh or the asst coach did and thats what started the argument. There are a lot of egos in that locker room and a bad loss when they blew a big lead like they did against the Warriors could have started the implosion.

    Rockets could use a little of J SMoove's Locker room Crazy

    Like I said. . . Rockets need a Artest type Crazy Baller in the locker room

    Artest helped us
    JSmoove helped us

    we need that FIRE

    i honestly believe that golden state has crushed the spirit of the west. suppose to be contending teams that were already perceived as having weak and fragile stars have fallen apart (rockets and clippers). when the going gets tough, the tough get going. well the rockets and clips are proving they are weak.

    It is crazy how the Rox work.... and very sad that you need a cray person to ignite a fiere

    They just could not harness enough talent to get it done on the big stage in the last 13+ years. (almost with that WC appearance and 2nd round against the Lakers but something was always missing in the past)

    The Rockets were at there best when they had one Crazy Dude

    1. Vernon Maxwell
    2. Ron Artest
    3. Josh Smith

    I dunno . . just something this team and town loves about those crazy MFers

    Like any accomplished player, Josh Smith has pride. Money isn't everything. From my understanding, Morey did not make a decent effort to make Josh feel appreciated. Therefore, I don't blame Josh at all for leaving. I blame Morey. Stupid a$$ move. Said that a billion times on this board from day one.

    Wasn't Doc supposed to make the Clippers better than they were when Vinnie Del Negro coached the team? Has that happened? If so, in what way?

    Doc is a bad coach and he should get fired.

    He is basically a Mchale, a preacher that claps with the tamberine. We can watch it unfold as if we never had fired Mchale.

    I don't blame coaches, I blame players. Chris Paul is supposed to be a superstar. Chris Paul is failing. Bird, Magic, Jorden, Hakeem led their teams to Championships. It's too easy to blame the coach. Look at the players that are supposed to lead. Chris Paul is failing.

    Thats the problem and the coach should be prepared. Come in with a strategy when your main player is failing. Cp3 is washed up and hogs the ball. You have Blake just doing nothing.
