    He most certainly does. Is he better than Lowry right now? No. Now way.

    Bcuz Rubio and irvings potential is way higher than Lowry and wen it's all said and done dey will be better than Lowry could ever dream of der both rookies and already being mentioned as future stars I never once saw Lowry at any all star event anything Rubio and Irving Wer in rising stars game and don't give me draft position either I've seen slot of players in dat game who weren't drafted high at all Lowry is jus a decent PG

    We could win 10 in a row and I'd repeat my statement. We are a mediocre team, have been that for years and will sadly be for the next few seasons if no major roster overhaul happens.

    Its really hard to understand what you are saying. Rubio and Irving have more potential, however Lowry is a better point guard at this point in time. If you are debating that, you are going to make yourself look foolish.

    Then tell me how rubio and irving are better. Those are your 9 and 10. How have those 2 been winning games by themselves? If you want to go to the numbers, Lowry has better stats as well. He has hit HUGE shots. If your sample size is one game, then I see where you are coming from, but if you are basing this on their entire season, Lowry is better and is a top 10 pg.

    Don't diss Lowry because of potential. What happened to franchise Stephen curry?

    The thing was, both of our bigs had five fouls and couldn't really afford to help. The guards HAVE to know this and have the awareness not to crowd. I know that probably leads to Pierce getting a relatively open 18-footer, but that's a hell of a lot better than a layup or two free throws.

    You shouldn't be frustrated. At some point we have to accept reality.

    This team, as currently constructed, is a lottery team. The sooner Les figures it out, the better.

    Congrats mr. fortune teller. I am glad you can see the future. LOL "Rubio and Irving were in the rising stars game." That sure means a lot. Who is better now? Lowry. /debate

    McHale: We had it for awhile, lost it, had it for awhile and lost it. They put a trap on us and we were cautious with the ball. We needed ball movement before we attacked. Didnt have enough of that. ... Too conservative, trying to run clock and play perfect basketball. Just gotta play basketball. If you score with 20 [on the clock], you score with 20. Just part of where we gotta keep improving.

    I'm shocked that having a "defensive coordinator" didn't overcome these sorts of issues. :grin:

    The question is would you trade Lowry for them. I know I would for Irving. In a heartbeat. I would have to think about it for Rubio though.

    This is what I suspected, he has decent tactics but the guys suddenly act like deers in the spotlight when the game goes on again. It's annoying, they obviously can't keep their heads cool and forget what the coach tells them.

    I have been in this same boat. We have been mediocre and some posters just assume the consensus is that everyone loves the Rockets when they win.

    I love the Rockets to know that this team is going nowhere. This team if it acquires Pau Gasol will not get a superstar to sign and will go no where.

    The only way is to draft one. Stars will not be demanding trades to Houston any time soon unless they grew up here and I can't think of any stars that currently grew up here.
