    Doc Rivers.

    Trez is a 3rd stringer, but Sam can play. Doc's just a horrible coach, should be fired.

    Doc is a dumb coach. Clippers need to start over like the Celtics did. This wasn't and isn't working with Doc.

    They should at least play them to see what they got.

    Hard for Trez to play with Blake, but he isn't that bad. Dekker should be getting more minutes. If he improves as a shooter, he will have a pretty good career. I wouldn't mind Trez back in Houston, he played very well when Capela broke his fibula. Unfortunately, he never got going after Capela came back.

    trez needs a facilitator to succeed. dekker should be able to contribute but nobody knows what doc is doing.

    DJ is struggling. blake is struggling that team doesn't have a true PG.

    I think Sam is still a tweener.

    He looked OK as a 4 for us last year , but his shot was inconsistent .

    I think he may have lost some of his altheticism with that back surgery .

    I don't think he can be anything more than a role player .

    You can almost see the thought bubble coming from Harden... "Yeah, so he's outta here" lol

    Montrez - hes a PF that doesn't have range, just not a good fit in todays NBA, why i was never high on him here, dmo and jones at least showed some kind of range at times

    Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Montrezl Harrell has surprised him this season.

    "He’s been terrific. That was a find for us. He just does more things than we knew," Rivers said. "He’s a scoring post guy. We thought he was just an energy guy. It’s nice when you get lucky, and that was good for us." He’s averaging 10.9 points on 64.4 percent shooting in just 16.7 minutes per game and has been one of the most efficient big men in the NBA. If DeAndre Jordan leaves this summer, Harrell's value could really take off.
    Clippers’ Montrezl Harrell proves to be an unexpected ‘find’ in Chris Paul trade

    I always thought Harrell had upside as a backup C/rotation guy. Low ceiling though, and energy guys like him arent super hard to find.

    Harrell should always play, wish we had him.

    Dekker SUCKS. Not sturdy enough.

    I always knew Harrell was the better player who could find rotation minutes

    Busty Samuel Dekker is the ultimate scrub. One of the worst players to wear the Rockets jersey. I knew that the moment we drafted his obnoxious ass. What a joke

    @RasaqBoi knew it too

    The battered corpse of an overrated volume scorer is supposed to be some post-up god for D'Antoni. Meanwhile if Harrell has the ball within 5 or 6 feet of the rim it's as efficient as a Curry spot-up or Harden ISO. And Harrell could barely see floor time, much less post-ups.

    He was one of the worst rebounders in the NBA at his position, unplayable against SAS (30% OREB%!!!)

    Also if Joe Johnson sees a singe minute outside of garbage time in the playoffs then its confirmed that the whole organization is throwing the series.

    About Dekker... my theory is that his draft position and value are a result of having good athleticism and size and Morey (and most likely other people) betting on his outside shooting to improve-- perhaps part of it is people assuming Lunch Pail Players should be able to shoot. But he is not actually a competent 3 point threat, so he isn't all that effective. Such is the power of the 3 pointer in today's NBA.
