    man, look how good the Rockets look with ball movement and simply feeding Dwight. I feel the struggles with the Rockets lately is because Harden doesn't buy into ball movement. Everytime he gets the ball he want to go one-on-one; he never wants to run plays...

    Or maybe it is the fact we are playing against a much lower standard of defense compared to the Pacers...

    Houston fans make it so hard to be a Houston fan lol (I don't mean all)

    And at the beginning of the pistons feed their commentators were saying he's as good as Howard.

    thats exactly what I'm saying. I don't believe that he doesn't know "how." its just that they haven't gotten on him enough.

    Let me guess. Casspi and Cisco aren't going to suck anymore. I wonder why

    Nawh it's more ball movement tonight, faster pace, it makes it easier for shooters to get in rhythm

    It would be far more meaningful if it weren't against a sub 0.500 team.

    Dwight is really tough on the young bigs, even the young stars.

    Yep.

    I think this game proves that our shooters don't really like Harden and won't make threes unless he is sitting.

    It definitely has nothing to do with going from playing the number 1 defense to the next night playing number 23.

    Trade Harden

    Dwight is our foil for all the best teams in the NBA. Miami has no one to match up with him. OKC has no one. The Spurs and Blazers can defend with team D but that's when you move it from inside to out.

    With the outside in game you can beat a bunch of teams. The rest are the best teams in the NBA. The whole reason we had so much hope when we landed Dwight was that NO ONE ELSE that's any good has a C to match up.

    Gotta milk this. The potential is higher than it would be with relying threes and layups alone.
