    I sat courtside tonight and the guy is a flat out baller. He's got one of the best touches iv seen in a while.

    You are missing the point. Was there any surprise the rockets can feast on the bottom feaders? Maybe in the first 2 months yes, but as of late they have been doing better, that is only until they play a decent western conf team. I will not get hyped or excited until we do not get blown out by lac without Griffin. Heck, what would gsw do to us then in a series? Jb is simply a terrible coach, lets get that out of the way...


    Were you celebrating when we destroyed a rosterless Memphis?...

    No I was just happy I got to see the Rockets win. Basketball has ups and downs and as pissed as I am about how awful this season has been Im not going to start disparaging wins.

    What the hell does that mean? Is that like a way to reconcile our suckiness or to tell me that the lakers are amazing because they beat the warriors...? Im confused here...

    Are the lakers better than 95% of the league for that accomplishment?

    Is it just me or does Harden set Dwight up for failure with his passes?

    you complaining isn't going to make the rockets better. the rockets aren't as good as the other top teams so no point in getting mad about it. just enjoy the ride and see where they go. I have season tickets and has been a disappointment but there's more to life than basketball like my family. rockets still provide an outlet and sports in general when I need to get away from stress of life. to be stressed about the rockets not being as good as other team is pointless to me. I just root on them and that's all I can do.

    as for all the finger pointing and calling out james harden and him going out. it's his life, believe it or not, but winning really isn't everything. it's a game and he has hundred of million of dollars and there's a lot of things he can do with that. I will be perfectly fine not winning championships and having a couple hundred million in the bank account. just saying

    I didn't get to watch this but saw the Brewer just got 8 mins. Did he get hurt or something? Or is JB finally wising up?

    Best young big I have seen enter the league since Tim Duncan imo. He's got somthing that Anthony Davis just doesn't have and that's a fire inside him. You can tell watching him at a young age that he really cares and knows he's really good.

    His touch is light year better than Davis and not to mention he has more size and strength with great athletism.

    I'm sold on this guy he's going to be an alltime great barring injury.

    Not to turn this into a Anthony Davis hate post because I think he's a great talent but he's not a number one option and never will be one he's not a leader and you can tell by watching him play. If he teams up with another great player who's on his talent level than his career will take off. He's going to get slammed by the media after next season when they fail to make the playoffs again I gueantee that and will get gentry fired also.

    I'm with you on this one. I believe in the AD hype for sure and those Wolves/Pelicans battles will be fun in a couple seasons, but KAT has the complete package to becoming one of the greatest big men of all time. I think AD might be more dynamic, but KAT will always give you everything in a game. He's very polished for just being a one-and-done.

    Saw that too, am hoping Morey told him to stop playing him so much.

    We need some Brewer DNP-CD's.

    Good win. Wolves are better than their record seems, so this wasn't just a win over some scrub team like the Lakers, Suns or what's left of the Grizzlies.

    Motiejunas starting to look better and Beasley keeping his level up is the best news of the night.

    I'm digging this DMo/Beas PF rotation Houston has. I have no idea how Jones/Smith looked before, but with production being similar to nights like this, I would feel will help a lot to ease off Harden.

    I don't think he does it intentionally, but it does seem like Harden has a higher failure rate for passing to Dwight, especially lobs around the rim. It's almost like they haven't played together before. :rolleyes:

    Damn why can't Harden just be less TO prone?? So lazy with his passing, but then again, how can you complain with 32 and 14! Nice game from him, D-Mo, Beverley early on and Beasley. Hope Brewer gets less minutes and we see more KJ.
