    Oh I hope we eventually get in sync. But watching the Rockets turn the ball over every possession, especially against Denver, concerned me. If Harden plays more off the ball we'll be fine. But i agree, him dribbling for 10 seconds then jacking up 3's is unacceptable. That should've ended last year. I'd like to see Ty doing the playmaking at the start of the game, then James slowly get his after everybody's got in the flow.

    Yep...sitting in the bleacher seats over here but I don't think there is another way out of the maze unless they make the Change from 1 on 1 ball to utilizing Lawson's playmaking abilities like they said they would. Only way outta the maze death trap the great teams have in stored for the Rox this year in my opinion.

    Other teams have fatigue and injury issues as well. Other teams have new coaches and new players as well. The Rockets aren't a special case, it just seems like a bunch of excuses. We'll be fine but we have core issues that won't be solved simple by getting this person back and better conditioning. People lose site of the fact that we have enough talent to win it all. We will have a winning season by we are really just wasting another one of Dwight's prime years with our current coaching staff. If Harden isn't the Harden of last year we are in trouble, he pretty much did everything.

    Let's try again. Rockets going small with Howard, JONES out. Going with Ariza, Capela, Harden, Lawson and Marcus Thornton.

    Kyrie Irving is the Cavaliers second best player and he is potentially out til January. Lebron James is and has beeen battling back injury since before the preseason. They only lost to Chicago by 2, they destroyed the Grizzlies and they beat Miami. Enough with the excuses.

    and the majority of that team played in the pre-season. Love is clicking on all cylinders right now too...it is what it is..we're not the Cavaliers and they lost by 2 so what. They still lost with Kyrie on the bench.

    There is a significant difference between being blown out and losing by 2 yet you are acting as if it means nothing. Their two best players have injuries you are basically like so what, lol. But the Rockets get a pass. The Rockets should not be this bad, I'm sorry it's just excuses.

    you choose to look through your own goggles that's fine...they shouldn't be this bad but they are this bad and if injuries and not playing together for only 1 game doesn't matter to you than that's your choice to ignore that. Cleveland last year sucked ass for a month or two before they figured it out and began to gel if you want to make comparisons..it is what it is.

    Cleveland was an all new team with all new coaching staff, literally a coach who never coached in the NBA before their center was injured and they didn't have smith, shumpert, or mozgov. The more you talk the more you show your lack of basketball knowledge. The Rockets players need to let go of all excuses and just play and the coaching staff needs to take their head out their asses. You're the one with rose colored glasses on. They are perfectly capable of winning, enough with the excuses.

    You have me confused with yourself. You are the one crying about a "poor preseason" like a little girl. "See Dwight is out booo hooo," enough of the whining. Anyone who studies basketball should know prep start well before preseason. Other teams have injuries and things going on as well that's no excuse to get blown out two times in a row at home, it's ridiculous. You're just making excuse after excuse.

    your a cry baby...if you notice the starters playing right now played during the pre-season...amazing isn't it the difference in how much better they're playing. Not great but you can tell they played all pre-season together at some point...different contrast from the previous 2 games. They're still learning to play together. Common sense. No need to be a cry baby about it just deal with it

    As usual your post speaks for itself. So who's fault is it they didn't get the playing time that they should have?? LOL. Just admit you were wrong, the coaching staff had their heads up their ass. Always with the excuses and change of argument with you. Never met anyone so full of **** in my life. The Rockets were perfectly capable of winning, the preseason complaint you had earlier was nothing but nonsense. excuse excuse excuse...

    Your a cry baby is all it is...it's 2 games and your crying. Stop crying and let these guys figure it out just like the Cavs did and every other team that has gone through a process like this. Come June let's see your level of crying then...it's ok to tear jerk but you may have a full month of it ups and downs

    Listen friend, I understand where you are coming from. But the dude you are talking to has a screw loose. All day long he whines about McHale. He's not well. Who spends all day on a messag board posting the same thing over and over again? Yes, some of the people on these message boards are mentally ill. While they are annoying, just try to ignore them.

    You're a dumbass, lol. And such a flip flopper first you cry about us not having a good preseason. Mchale makes a much needed coaching change they play well and somehow you're trying to claim victory, you are sooooo full of ****, lmao.

    Except for the fact that I was right. Mchale makes the coaching changes everyone else was complaining about. FINALLY and we're winning and you guys look stupid right now, lol.
