    Rockets wait until now to pick up the defense.

    this team doesn't run anymore.

    no transition buckets whatsoever.

    just bricked 3s, bricked 3s, bricked 3s, bricked 3s, bricked 3s, bricked 3s, bricked 3s,

    At 33 he's not a reliable scorer anymore. This team needs Harden.

    What's frustrating is even trash teams have a system in place that you can just plug and play. MDA needs an allstar at every second of every game to run his system effectively. MDA doesn't seem to know how to put anyone in a position to succeed unless it's a hall of fame PG.

    That's true. Weren't we all-world in December last year and then went on the skids in Jan?
    A familiar pattern here

    I still believe Paul is far from being really healty, you can see how he plays pick & roll kinda passive, and by how many times he almost loses the handling...

    Yea lately his shot hasn’t gone in. Like the entire season. I don’t recall him shooting this badly.

    We waived Bobby, now his cousin Boban seeks revenge on us.

    The crazy thing is Harden alone can win with the garbage around him. He's that good, makes everyone better and the hate for him here is so f-ing odd

    Some stat padding there but the game was over. Paul trade was not a mistake since we got him to be a second option not to lead because he is to old these days to lead. with james chris will be fine. Problem is Anderson

    I liked the Tucker signing originally and felt the team needed his grittiness but yeah he's not a good player at this point.

    he’s good at scoring, but he’s just nowhere near as dominant as Harden is at doing it

    it’s not in his nature to go and force things for himself and try to drop 40

    Which if true is why I'm terrified of giving him a $200 million extension. We've got enough injury problems already. The last thing we need is to build the team around a guy who either misses an entire month or is gimpy out there when he does suit up.
