    Our schedule hasn't even been that hard so far. The second half of the season is just brutal-just look at our schedule. :(

    On to the next game. This is getting old by the Rockets win against quality teams and play down to the low end teams. I can't wait till the trade but why wait till Thursday and not get the deal done in the next two days when the team does not have a game to play till Wednesday?

    After the trade there will be no more excuses.

    Why are expectations high this year? I dont understand where your expectations are coming from when in the West alone Clips, OKC and Spurs are considered better on paper, before games were played.

    We dont know what we have yet, this was the first time Howard Harden and Parsons played together and you expected 55 wins at least? In the West? If this was a team like OKC or Clips where the core guys had already played at least a year tyen fine. But honestly youre setting the bar too high, just likewhen people were calling DM to get fired because he still didnt have a superstar after 4 years of rebuilding.

    It not like your name isn't bias lol. We just need all our player to come back from injury or those who had ailment to get better. Parson back still worry me.

    They still lost to scrub teams period. That just illustrates the any given day rule. These scrub teams do have million dollar professional players correct. Lol. Again just like every good team the Rockets going to lose their share of games to not so good teams. I am not saying the Rockets are the freaking Heat either. So cut that nonsense out sir

    not really. but if you say so. It not really a debate whether Lin should start or not, as i have declared. It's all up to McHale and the ROckets organization. Nothing much more discuss.

    If you think these weird thoughts of yours, so be it. It's pretty clear that i've been level headed for the most part and just see the situation for what it is.
    Buy hey it's a free country dude. God bless your interesting opinions.

    Two separate injuries means they are unrelated accidents.

    Recurring injuries that happen over and over again are more concerning.

    If your criteria is number of injuries then almost the entire team is injury prone, especially Harden and Parsons :rolleyes:

    Anyways, not going to bother arguing with a 2013 troll.

    It was a bad loss definitely. Hopefully the ROckets can regroup against Chicago who is struggling right now.

    Obviously and to be honest Harden and Dwight are not Lebron and Shaq and the chemistry is still not great.
    Harden is not even on 2005 McGrady's level in terms of scoring in the 4th quarter (13 in 33, played his best against on the road)

    Dwight is one notch below what was his peak in 2008/09 with the Magic.

    I am not sure but I think we need more talent than Parsons, Lin and Jones to get it done.
    West is tougher and I fear another meltdown towards the end.

    We have big problems against the Jazz, Suns and Kings. We did not too well against the Lakers as well.

    Those are the perfect teams to feast upon that are not EC teams.
    Tell me what the expectations should be?

    The problem tonight was the PF rotation. Jones & Casspi not showing up at all. The Kings deep frontcourt is a difficult matchup.

    well said man.

    I was just talking about the hype train that was in full gear when DWert Howard was signed. The stars were aligning for a championship run. that is all.

    1. Harden being a 2005 McGrady is debatable. Harden is more efficient on the offensive end. but McGrady was a great player no doubt.

    2. Dwight doesn't seem to be the same player he used to be in Orlando. that is for sure.

    3. The Western conference like the SEC in football.

    4. We need to improve our chemistry and play as a unit to get over this dreary period in Houston B-Ball.
