No Beverly, no Asik, no Parsons. Our best defensive guard, our second best big man defender and our most important player.
Asik isn't coming back. He needs to stop being factored in. The dude is not going to play for the rockets again. Our GM should have realized he was overplaying his hand. He wants the most value for him, but has let the team rot and turn chemistry into crap in the mean time.
No more excuses. We are losing to Kendall Marshall, Nick Young, Wesley Johnson, and Jodie Meeks out there. Jesus F. This is on the coach.
The thing that concerns me is that I see no development with this team. In fact, it feels like instead of improving, the Rockets are actually getting worse as the season progresses. Our offense just hasn't been good for a while now. The three is not falling, 29% in December and now 3/12 in the first half as a team that relies heavily on the 3pt shot is not good enough. Defense - as usual, terrible. Bench - well, what can I say. I honestly don't know why Garcia is even playing anymore. He literally gives us nothing right now. No defense, no offense, nothing. We really need our injured guys back, because this is painful to watch.
Just an excuse. This isn't NBA 2K. The rockets aren't losing tonight because of lack of talent. They're losing because the team as a whole is sloppy, unfocused, and clearly not ready to play.
The team is showcasing D-mo. He's most likely going to get traded. I doubt he's getting playing time because of Parsons injury. He never played this early before. Eff you McHale for not trusting the players!
You're delusional. Stop making excuses. Lakers are missing Kobe. They should not be leading for a second game. We still have our best two players on. OKC was missing Westbrook and still whooped us, and parsons didn't miss that game.
d12 doesnt like pnr jlin doesnt want to play sg harfen wants no defense asik doesnt want to play at all mchale is not a coach caspi the jordan gasia retiring tjones the pump jumper parsons in hospital what else?
THANK YOU. Majority of the posters here like to pick a player and just stick all the blame on them. We are clearly a better team we just have a poor coaching staff who we need to get rid of ASAP and our team as a whole is showing no effort what so ever
We have one of the most athletic centers in the league and we just keep dumping the ball into him against guys that are bigger than him. He's not Hakeem. His post game is passable at best. Get him moving.
I agree. Even with injuries, this team has more talent than the lakers team and they are on a B2B. Offensive rebounds is killing us this game, we either fix this 2nd half or we will probably lose, unless Harden gets hot again in the 4th qtr.
