    If you see nothing wrong with playing 3 PF's in their only minutes at the exact same time, then.....well I wouldn't really be surprised, I don't respect your opinion for a reason.

    this one is on McHale though. He promised to tinker with the line ups and then he came constantly with the Big Towers and Casspi while not playing any of the young. Then he plays them all out of necessity.

    Of course they are going to be overwhelmed once they get in.

    LOLOLOL. Seems the defense isn't on par at all.

    McHale doesn't 'have to' do anything. If he doesn't feel that certain players are able to help the team, he has zero obligation to give them a single second of playing time.

    As a matter of fact, he has every RESPONSIBILITY to his players, to his team, to the franchise and to the city of Houston to play the players that give the Rockets the best chance to win.

    And as of this moment, Dmo and Jones cannot even be trusted to close out 3rd stringers with a 18 point lead. Their asses rightfully should and will be glued to the bench until they are either shipped out to another team or rotted out of the NBA.

    Some of us saw this months ago. Some of you see it now. Others, delusional and in denial, can blame whoever they want - won't change a thing, like the OP said: their asses won't see the court.

    As long as the Rockets keep winning I won't be too angry about it, but it's pretty stupid.

    Yep,......McHale's fault. Making them look bad.

    2nd game of the season...a game we had in the bag with 8 minutes left. McHale brings in the guys at the end of the bench to give them some burn. They totally blow the game down to single digits. And it's McHale's fault they weren't in earlier. ROFLOLOLOL

    Oh the logic of clutchfans.

    Play the players that give you the best chance to win. We did. And we won. And some of you are b****ing already

    Of course one should overthink it. My tone is not angry one.

    All I am saying. Asik and Dwight are going to get clubbed night in night out.

    Last year McHale ran Harden into the ground and we barely made the playoffs as the 8th seed after being the 6th 10 games towards the end.
    The year before we could have made the playoffs, but we had the 6-7 game losing streak to end up in mediocrity.

    McHale has the tendency to overplay his players while being biased. He has his strength but we should be aware of his weakness.

    If Smith misses his assignments and D-Mo should be checking Crowder, how is that TJones“fault?

    You don't have to make **** up to discredit these dudes, they probably are going to **** it up by themselves just fine. Jones at least hit 3/4 of his free throws (sealed the game) and almost salvaged a brick by Brooks.

    We wouldn't have made the playoffs last year if we hadn't run
    Harden into the ground.

    Now I've seen it all.

    They should play them MORE because they SUCK so much ass that they make 3rd stringers look like the Showtime Lakers.

    Thank God, and I mean THANK GOD that McHale isn't that big of a moron as some of you.

    McHale hates playing young players. Like parsons and Beverly last season. And Greg Smith. Hates it

    That is debatable. We were the 6th seed and we clearly got outclassed by a Phoenix team, other teams and came away one game when Jermaine O Neal turned into a Rockets player.

    Winnable games

    Some people can't accept reality. They think we're the Sixers.

    Sorry but what are the choices if Asik is fouled out and Casspi hurting.

    Another plan? Are there some imaginary borderline allstars you can turn to?

    That's our bench. Deal with it.

    Dmo was as bad as you can possibly be for an NBA player tonight, or someone pretending to be in the NBA and just cuttin' dem checks.

    All you need to know about Jones is that he is actually BEHIND Dmo on the depth chart as stated recently by Morey and tweeted by Feigan.

    Jones didn't need to do anything more tonight to end up in the dog house. He's already so far down that rabbit hole that he's about to come out the other end: Dleague or maybe the Guaong Dong Tigers. Ni hao ma? NI HAO MA????

    Terrence secured the ball when Crowder got hot... and helped secure the win in the end.
    And if that is the only thing he did, he did ok.

    There's a compound word I learned in my youth that would describe the last 5 minutes. Starts with cluster and ends with ....

    That's what they looked like out there. Running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

    Oh he did terrific. He was the least laughable out of the Three Stooges out there tonight. Give him a cookie. I'm telling you, for those who are big fans of Jones(looking at you CBL), keeping your eyes out for the Guang Dong Tigers or the Shanghai Sharks. And brush up on your Mandarin. NI HAO MA???????
