Ray Lewis with a basketball...attempting to murder any chance the Rockets had at winning this game tonight.
I know tonight wasn't indicative of his game, but I can't believe there are people who would trade DMo, Pap, and the NO pick for Dragic. He's a good player, but he isn't someone who's going to be a game changer. DMo was dominating for stretches in the post, and again was the Rockets second most consistent weapon on offense next to Harden. No way I give up DMo in a trade unless I'm getting a legit star, which I personally don't consider Dragic to be.
Okay, I have to admit I laughed a little bit at Harden describing the Rockets' troubles this game as "Had a couple guys got banged up throughout the game." *pause* "Joey gave up an and-one." As usual this month, I see nothing to indicate this can be a title team, but a win is a win. Let's make the playoffs and worry about the rest later.
This game was a good win but the coaching almost cost us....putting in dorsey instead of Smith was idiotic!##...we can't make mistakes like that in the playoffs#!!#!!!!!!!
I would never give up D-Mo. But short of that, I'd be willing to deal for Dragic. He'd take a ton of pressure off of Harden which would only make him better.

McHale: Up to that point, we had done some interesting things to let them in the game. ... Did not play smart down the stretch but found a way to grind out a win. Terrence Jones is about ready to come back and maybe sooner than he wants to. Joey in to rebound? Joey is in to switch. He has good feet. D-Mo had a hard time getting out to their shooters. Put Joey in to rebound. If they switch, we figured he could push up on the three but fouling was not our intent.
