    This is the same half court offense as last season. The PG (Lawson) brings up the ball, give it to Harden at the top of the key, and go to the corner or wing.

    No ball movement. Just ugly all around.

    I don't see Harden cutting or getting open looks

    It's Lawson to Harden for an ISO

    I doubt idiot McHale can get the best out of them two

    The Harden/Lawson experiment is a failure. Time to blow it up.

    Harden's shot looks to be off in the pre-season, hopefully he can turn it on when the season starts....

    people clamouring for why Houston cant get spacing correct...forget the impact of a true post threat. People dont give enough credit for Dwight and DMo for their ability to keep the court spaced well.

    Also of note...Marcus Thornton is gonna ball this season as a Rocket. He has the ability to play as a PG as well. This is a very deep team.

    Our offense is, instead of "Harden save us!", Harden and Lawson taking turns to create.. :(

    We have no inside presence on offense so theres more pressure on the perimeter. Need dwight and dmo.
