    Look at these fairweather Rocket fans completely ****ting on Dwight for his comments. We don't even know if this is true or not. Sure I disagree with him and I think he should hit his damn FTs but PG play does need to step it up.

    For the sake of chemistry building I hope it isn't true or maybe misconstrued.

    Howard is not a post player.

    IT IS NO SECRET IF CHRIS PAUL COULD HAVE BEEN HAD, THE ROVKETS WETE WANTING TO UPGRADE.

    But Howard signed with the Rockets because he sees Moreys tenacious nature for improving the team.

    Morey said it before. You need superstars to win. Now he has two... I am sure he is looking at improvements.

    We've got 4 problems right now:

    1) TT
    2) 3-point shooting
    3) Turnovers
    4) Perimeter defense

    Even with all of this........we're 4-2. #1-3 can and will be fixed. I don't see a solution to #4.

    I don't think so. It's a PR disaster. (don't dream about attracting any future FAs..)
    I also think there would be a trade trigger for the rockets to pay lots of money to Howard if we traded him. (though I don't really know how this works.)

    The first thing that the Rockets should do, I think, is to fire McHale SOON..and get a coach who can control our superstars' egos (mainly Harden at this point.) and stop Harden isos every single freaking minute in 4th Qtr for every single close game.

    Define "situation". If that means Harden playing PG too much or Bev starting over Lin then yeah I think most people are with Howard on this one.

    Rondo would be good for the Rockets. People like Rondo, CP3, Bryant, KG, LBJ all know what it takes to win rings. They lead not only by example (hard work on and off the court) but a fiery, almost ******* like (aside from LBJ) personality, which is why it is so hard to play with them...

    Rondo would not take Harden and Dwight's ****...

    That's the funny thing with him. He's completely given up on setting good picks when that is what would lead to those lobs and easy looks he's looking for. And you can't lob to a post player when you got a another center out there attracting defenders to the paint like flies on sht.

    I like the idea of going into the post which we were sorely missing last season, but get Asik out of there, and Dwight's got to learn to establish deeper and better position in the first place. It wouldn't hurt if he figured out this FT issues as well considering that's what's preventing him from getting the ball in the post in the 4Q.

    This scapegoating BS needs to end. Harden's bad defense costs us lots of plays and lets not talk about Dwight's free throw shooting and McHale's unwillingness to put in Asik even though he is a more than capable replacement.

    I feel like showing them some YELLING of my own.

    Dwight goes 5/16 from the free throw line.

    Thanks Lin.

    Considering they have only played 6 games, patient wouldn't be a good way to describe him if this is true.

    Let me clear something up... I NEVER said that Dwight is going upstairs and demanding things... NEVER

    All I said is he isn't exactly happy with the PG situation. Dwight was happy to go to LA (at the time), thinking he would play with a healthy Nash. The year before that, he wanted to play with CP3 in LA (broke down), then with Deron Williams.

    He thinks an ELITE PG in the league will make him elite on offense instead of learning to adjust and make it happen on his own. He just isn't happy with the PG's (or 3) the Rockets have.
