    We are not a finshed product. Trades will be made to improve our team.

    Well... thanks.

    So much light and shadow. Again blowing a big lead, but you have to admire how they came back to win this one. Ariza saving it to overtime with perfect defense and James just being James. There's no way you lose on Yao's night. Now let's take a breath and hope our guys come back strong on Tuesday.

    He was practicing his disappearing act.

    Agreed..I actually like his mid range post game... He really needs to take advantage of the post down the stretch of games...Isolate and let him go one on one...

    Someone do a welfare check on Joomba.

    Harden with 42/9/12 but only 2 TOs.

    I have been screaming that without a big we should put Harden on the post and invert the offense when teams have a huge lane clogging big....

    Hopefully.

    Sometimes they make the team worse like Beasley for Tyler Anus

    Told y'all we'd win this game tonight. Harden wanted it more than the Bulls did. But that foul out by MCW was huge.

    Yes, that makes 3 out of 4

    Frankly we could have easily been 1-3 after last night's collapse that wasn't after Trevor's big shot saved our bacon, but as they say, just get the W.

    Style points are irrelevant.

    If ESPN had a face, I'd punch it until it fell down, then I'd kick it.

    Some "superstar" calls late in game for Rockets.

    Team aint gonna just come in expecting a W on YAO MING NIGHT! Pissing off ALL those extra CHINA VIEWERS?!? Even Tony Brothers had to come to his $ense$ and take the Chinese bribe money

    YAO - Hakeem - Motumbo
    Can they each play 10 minutes a game . . . . just 10 minutes. . .. and not until the playoffs
    NeNe and Capela can take the other 18 minutes

    CHAMPIONS!!

    This is WAY bigger than just being tired. The system it's self doesn't work unless you have consistent 3 point shooters. Something we don't have at all. Even EG who is our best 3PT shooter is struggling right now. There is no consistency. Also the quality of the 3s is horrendous. Instead of jacking up contested 3s they need to put the damn ball on the ground and find a good quality look even if it's from mid range.

    I have a hard time believing this is how Morey wants them to play. Jacking contested 3 after contested 3 is a recipe for disaster. The defense that's an entirely different story. The bottom line is this is just an average 45-48 win team that got hot and have since dropped to the norm. There are a ton on question marks with this team including the coaching.

    The only superstar call was Harden folding on top of Carter-Williams to draw that cheap foul. Everything else was fair except Brothers botching the kick-ball call.
