    KCP.

    Would love to see Dwight own Drummond on the boards.

    Also, losing Parsons who was Harden's running mate in transition has had a negative effect on Harden's transition game. Parsons would run in transition with good spacing, and pull up for 3 in transition. He was 6-10 with better ball handling than any of our wings. We still need Brewer and Ariza to run with Harden when rebounding is not an issue, but neither finish, pass, handle, or shoot as well as Chandler in transition or attract as much attention.

    In there first season together, Lin and Parsons combined for 9.6 APG and 8.1 the season after. In our last 2 seasons, we have not been getting many APG from our starting SF/PG.

    Honestly, losing Chandler who was still a decent triple threat player (2nd best in both seasons as a Rocket) has really limited our offense to Harden needing to create everything. Even Lin and his TO's...

    It's just turrble. The team has gone 6-2 in the past eight games, but you wouldn't know it reading through Clutchfans.

    I'm convinced the Suns could sweep us right now.

    Loss. Ugly loss. That cooking gesture is really Harden's career swirling down the toilet.

    If we can defend the pnr and put harden on morris we can win. The pistons are incosistent and they basically spam the pnr. Also i hope bev plays.
    But almost no team is easy pickings anymore. If we dont bring it we will lose.

    Rule #1 to win in fantasy games. Pick the opposing starting SG whenever the Rockets play someone.

    Just over the past 5 games.

    vs Clippers: Reddick- 40 points, Season Average - 16.6
    vs Lakers: Williams- 20 points, Season Average - 15.5
    vs Cavs: JR SMith - 13 points, Season Average - 12.1
    vs Wolves: Wiggins - 28 points, Season Average - 20.8
    vs Grizzlies: Lee - 16 points, Season Average - 10.1

    Too lazy to look at every game so far but I have a feeling that opposing starting SG's score more than their average in at least in 60% of the games (thanks Harden)
