    I think that's McHale scheme today for defending the PNR. The big is staying at home. Asik has the ability and the quickness to show hard and roll back with his man, but for some reason he's staying in the paint tonight. Looks like that's what McHale wants.

    From reading the posts/etc... LOF ppl are annoying at times but seems like they are more knowledgeable about the game and many LOH are blind biased ppl just enjoy trolling.

    DMo, please. Morris is painful to watch. Playing DMo is really win-win for everyone, how can McHale not see this.

    Harden is no point guard.
    How hard is it for people to understand.
    It is dumb for Houston to make James from a bench player to a superstar. He is not

    As I said in another thread, it's redundancy with both Harden and Lin. They will never be a good fit together and the team is better off trading him for an expiring. The team also need a competent roller who can finish at the 5s because no one respect Asik's ability to roll or as a cut and finisher near the rim when the guard ISO. You see the big just hedge the guard in a P&R or leaving Asik and contesting the guard's drive. The team needs to speed it up and runs plays before the opponent's defense is set, or they'll struggle.

    Compounding the problem you have inconsistent 4s who can't rebound, with 2Pat only able to shoot the corner 3.

    Anyway, people should thank the earth if you don't need to package a pick to get an expiring in return for Lin. What Morey needs to do is find a Avery Bradley type player in the draft. A defensive stopper who can shoot the 3s.

    to be fair, i don't think any fan - LOF or not - would say that Lin is playing well right now. that said, losing 7 straight is usually not the fault of any one player.

    whatever "system" we're on, it puts a lot of pressure on harden to score and make the right decision each time. if that doesn't happen, we lose.

    Morris is doing just fine today. Still would enjoy seeing DMO though.

    Get Patterson out the arena...that is the only solution to this losing streak, which only started with his return from injury.

    The thing I don't like about Lin is that he can draw fouls and get to the rim no problem. Why doesn't he draw fouls? Why doesn't he utilize what he's good at? He doesn't have to finish perfectly everytime. Just draw the fricken foul.

    Well this seems to be a trend: rockets get close then the opponent bust off 7 straight. lets see if it happens again.

    Walker getting Lebron calls isn't going to help.
