    I'm guessing that Harden and Lin is out for the game from here. 4 games in 5 nights I guess.

    Yes. And with that roster they beat Memphis last night.

    Even without CP3, the Clippers are a handful.

    Seriously, I've seen no semblance of any playbook or offensive sets with any kind of creativity....just pass around on the perimeter taking turns going ISO until shot clock runs down and a bad drive/contested shot is tossed up.

    This is a relatively new team. Paul's first year with them was last season. Barnes, Odom and Crawford first year is this year.

    Willie Green has always been good scorer. He's one of those starting calibre players who casual fans tend to think are scrubs because they're not a big name.

    And they lost to the magic? Whats your point? Its not like we have been on a winning streak and are just now losing this game. Its starting to become a TREND. We are on a losing streak and our defense has been stinking. This game has bigger indications than the clippers being "that good".

    Like I said before, Rockets' most reliable offense is driving and opponents have responded well for the last few games. You need to put more quality screens for our guards and don't oversimplify offense.

    Dunno about that. Willie shoots a poor percentage and actually plays less minutes than the bench player who comes in for him.

    It's just a horrible waste of talent.
