    JB needs to pick a strategy. Either use your post ups like Dmo or run high pnr with Harden/Beasley or use the Howard/Capela twin towers or let Smith run the offense or something CONSISTENTLY.

    We just keep switching the offensive scheme and nothing works.

    Harden can't shoulder the blame every game, other teams seem to play off of Brewer and load up on Harden.

    So yeah, I would be pissed at Brewer and the coach if I was Harden.

    Because the other big men on this team have better hands or are better at rebounding?

    “Dwight (Howard) and I are the cornerstones of the Rockets,” said Harden. “The rest of the guys are role players or pieces that complete our team.

    This is what we've been saying all season he won't do it, there is seriously something wrong with him mentally. He's got to be making bets against the Rockets or something. He has to be personally benefiting from playing Brewer and Terry this much Ive been watching basketball my whole life and I don't think Ive ever seen a coach this bad on any level. The basic strategy in basketball if someone sucks you dont play them but not with JB he just expects Brewer to become Jordan any minute now even though he's played like **** all year. The FO have to be telling him to play Brewer or he's one of the dumbest people in the history of sports. Mchale wasn't even nearly this bad, Mchale was a little below average JB doesn't even belong near High School.

    Actually , I am. I expected a 15 point loss, but not a 30 pointer. However, as another poster said, it's only 1 loss. We can still make a series out of it.

    Why are they booing DMO?
    ____

    He can't shoot, but KJ is one of the best shot blockers I've seen from a non-center. Heck, centers too.

    just goes to show you can't fix a broken regular season team in the playoffs just because games matter and everyone starts at 0-0. rockets were much more competitive last playoffs against warriors. whatever we had going for us last season...it appears to be completely gone. these guys look like strangers out there most of the time who never bothered to learn any offensive plays or sets. the chemistry is just not there.

    Was surprised when JVG gave praise to JBB and said he'll have a long, successful career as a head coach. Lol wut

    It's not fair. Give him Durant, Kawhi and CP3 and then you'll see Harden lead us to some wins.

    Dmo was being a b**** there for a few plays. But, we needed it because the rest of the Rockets looked like they didn't care.

    Did Morey just trade away Harden 2 days ago and Dwight also retired?

    Uhhh so guys. Are we just going to ignore that Motiejunas tried to trip Barnes arm off? I'm a fan of him, but that was some A1 dirty stuff. Even worse than what Kelly did to Love last season. I liked Dmo working Green in the post, but when he put Barnes arms in between his and pulled that could have been very scary for Barnes.
