    I wish somebody would tell Hamilton that he is not allowed to dribble the ball...ever. Spot up shoot, if you don't have it pass it immediately and play defense. That is it.

    Optimism is a good thing. The problem with your point is that this is the form of the team going into the playoffs. Of course, if it was earlier I would say it wasn't a big deal. The team that is playing right now doesn't even look like an 8th seed.

    Stop being so negative. Annoying.

    Harden lazy on the pick and roll defense which causes Asik to help and leaves the lane wide open. The breakdown is b/c of Harden's lazy ass.

    seconded. Let's give Covington and Daniels some burn at the very least.

    Now what's our excuse? Our best defensive players are back.

    it's like that one movie with denzel washington where the evil spirit is passed on from one person to the other by a touch, only it's kevin durant's evil spirit that is passed on to scrubs so they can score 40 plus. alexis ajinca looks like the chinese yao ming out there.

    What sort of justification do you have for the defensive effort the rockets have turned out? It is absolutely worrying, to say it isn't... is being delusional.

    I seen a lot of rockets seasons but this total lack of attention to detail and defense effort is pathetic.

    it's one thing to be in a funk if your shot is not falling. it's an entirely different thing if you aren't getting back defensively in transition, not rotating at all, getting outhustled on the boards, and leaving guys wide open.

    This team goes the way Harden plays. If he's banged up, shot not falling, in a funk, then we let even scrub teams beat us up.

    Coaches don't have any other playbook? Predictable offense and lazy defense

    Mosgov, Dieng, Ajinca having their way with our centers is not a good sight.
