    The sooner I will be at peace with trading his lazy ass or finding a LEADER that will kick his ass into gear.

    its truly embarrassing watching this mess of team....

    absolutely no defense

    No accountability

    No Pride

    terrible rotations

    to much hero ball (especially Harden)

    This is not a team this is a bunch of individuals playing for themselves

    Harden is my fav player only bc he is a Rocket
    The guy seems so disinterested this season only worrying about his stats and his brand

    We need guys in here who take the game seriously and who play with pride and dnt except getting beat by lesser teams...

    This is truly a nightmare season for us after showing so much promise last season :confused:

    Lets Go Rockets!!!

    Warriors exposed the main problem with the rockets this season. Defense

    Need some perimeter defenders ASAP. They allow anything into the paint

    Wtf is with all the back door cuts?
    Getting beat back in transition?

    Are they that bad they can't stay in front of their man at all?

    What if Harden was in beast mode because last year there was a spark with the team but since something has happened this year he is just like screw it, no point in trying, ill just coast. Maybe he is saving it for a real coach or new lineup?....

    because he has proven he can get it done and actually try...

    Normally I would agree, but I am not so certain that a team with Harden as it's best player is actually any good.....or capable of REALLY climbing the mountain.

    For instance, would a team that had Klay Thompson as a SG, be better than a Harden one?

    Yeah, I think it might be....a guy who plays team ball, might make the rest of the Rockets better over captain lazy assed ISO.

    I don't understand how every single person on the bench isn't screaming at Ariza or Bev on this play.

    There is literally no defensive IQ at all in this team.

    they are getting beat by basic basketball and effort.

    you just have to blame everybody for this.

    Remember when we trusted Steve Novak to hit the game winner to continue the streak?

    Do you remember when guys 1-15 trusted any player to step up to hit the J?

    Do you remember when cliques involved the whole team and not clusters OF the team?

    Do you remember when there was no hesitation to pass the rock to the open man because you trusted he would hit the shot?

    Do you remember when a guy who could shoot anywhere on the court was trusted to take more shots?

    Do you remember when guys trusted themselves to take responsibility in losses?

    I think Les remembers. I think he remembers how important that INTERNAL trust was to winning seasons.

    Did he look nervous tonight? I think the trust is coming full circle.

    Trust your teammates and lead with that trust.

    Happy New Year.

    What type of lymphoma do you have? Many thanks for remaining an active insider and taking the time out to post this stuff, the symptoms are numerous and can be debilitating, but some of them have an excellent prognosis.


    Also regarding what you posted I think maybe it has something to do with Darryl? He's part of the reason there hasn't been a lot of trust in the organization and you cited an "internal trust" --indicating management? :confused:

    Would also make sense since the dude has been under a rock as of late.

    Either that or it deff. has to do with Harden.

    watched Les' interview...he really looks disgusted with the team..obviously stated about the basics defensively...Cod, is the full circle changes coming on the upper management including the coach or just roster changes? #Trust

    And that play shows clearly that its not just Harden. Keep in mind to all the idiots thinking Im just defending Harden (Like Chandlerbang) eventhough Dwight and Parsons were my favorite players the last few years. I get mad when people only blame Harden because blaming Harden and changing or trading him still wont get to the root of the problem. He has always been bad on D. So the big change from last to this season came from the team as a whole not just one person. This entire team seemed to have forgotten how to play team defense and it looks innocent. I mean they honest to god don't know what to do and that's when you point to the coaching staff. The coaching staff should fill in the blanks and provide direction when there seems to be team wide confusion but our coaches seem to be just as confused. We wont change until they are gone.

    Harden is mental midget and addicted to sex.

    Howard is a well known soft player.

    If Le$ give Harden and Howard a player's coach like JB, it would be a disaster!!!

    While you are stuck with your current one. Enjoy. ;)

    Fool your mission on CF is to defend harden in threads where people clearly say its a TEAM ISSUE. You used to be a decent poster now you get emotional every time people point out hardens faults.
