    Your wrong on that our role players are bad dude.

    Besides the two games this week against Portland he's pretty much been 8 assist to 3 TOs and scoring 30 a night on 45/47 shooting for the past 15 games.

    We have really low Iq players on this team who don't value each possesion.

    People want to be the Warriors or Spurs but don't seem to realize that the Spurs and Warriors have a system.

    They have a team that moves together as one, plays for another, and great coaching.

    The Rockets right now have James Harden. That's about it.

    Everyone else on this team is expendable. Every one else.

    RIGHT, CLEARLY OUR STARS SHOULD DO MORE

    Harden & Harden

    62 points on 23-37 shooting, 22 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 10 turnovers

    Rest of Team

    41 points on 14-40 shooting, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks, 10 turnovers

    I really try and contain my contempt for stupidity, but your statement is absolutely r****ded.

    We had a system, then Morey got rid of Adelman.

    Yes they do...that's because the best coaches get the best out of every player. Our coaches get the worst out of every player. Players like Lawson, Smith, Dwight, and hell now Even James Harden...

    Shaun Livingston and Barbosa and Harrison Barnes all look like great players under the Warriors. Before that though they were journeymen, if Barnes leaves the Warriors my bet is he'll be a journeyman like Livingston and Barbosa.

    Man people really underestimate the value of coaching in basketball.

    The problem is ariza was old last year and is even older now he's like what a 12 yr vet and over 30 same with everyone else on this roster.

    THe role players are the same but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they are all not playing as good as last year. There all a step to late.

    Harden is playing the same. His defense was bad 2 years ago and we won 54 games. Last year it was a little better and we won 56 games but his defense can't be the difference in what looks to be atleast 15 game record difference.

    This team is not the same as last year I don't what your seeing to make u believe that.

    No, they don't. Curry and Draymond Green are having epic seasons. So is Kawhi Leonard.

    Guys like Shaun Livingston, Danny Green, Bogut and David West aren't carrying them.

    Let's get serious here.

    Green, Thompson, Curry were horrible against the Rockets. Yet, they still beat the Rockets by 13 and scored over 123 point.

    Role Players don't matter? Who are you, James Harden?

    "Only players that matters are me and Dwight" - Harden

    Well we can agree there.

    I'm done with Morey if he hires some weak coach. He's wrong about the value of coaching.

    First of all I'm not blaming Howard.

    Secondly, Harden also played zero defense and had 8 turnovers. He also ball watched when he didn't have the ball on offense.

    Stop being such a stupid simple minded volume stats spewer.

    Again the Harden defenders are obsessed with volume stats. It's like the Steve Francis era again

    Nobody finds it funny in the West 3 teams currently out of the playoffs have players selected to the All-Star team by coaches (Harden, Cousins, Davis)

    Dallas, Portland, Utah have zero All-Stars.

    Harden isnt the same.

    This isn't close. He's significantly worse than last year

    I don't think so. I think a lot of teams will see players like Lawson, Ariza, DMO and even Jones as players they can get more out of then we have.

    This team is a dumpster fire now so it's kind of true. I bet whoever gets traded does better on their new team with a defined role and a new purpose.
