    Reasons along with facts:

    1: There is no team spirit. Check out the OKC/SAS/MIAMI on court and bench behavior. This is so apparent on the rockets players. They are here to boost/live up to their contracts.

    2: Dwight isn't getting better and there are far better front court players than him.

    3: Harden is a terrible defender both help and 1-on-1 and only has solo offense style.

    4: Mchale can't control his players, let alone right down players where players actually follow it.

    5: Lin contract just blocked any serious incoming players unless we can fool some team to take control of it.

    6: No killer instinct or even potential to have one.

    If you think the rockets can defeat the real contenders in a series you are just dreaming. The only way for the rockets to actually win 4 playoff series or even get close to a championship gonna be when the west going to get a weak playoff teams like the east.

    1. They have acknowledged that, so it should get addressed.

    2. Not true

    3. He and the team should be addressing it, as they are more aware of it than ever.

    4. Tied in to #1

    5. He's only under contract for one more year.

    6. Tied in to #1, have shown signs, so not entirely true. Insintc is there, execution is not.


    So, considering they know these things are a problem and there's flexibility to makes moves, you can't be sure of your statement. Not a good thread, sir.

    Who is claiming this roster will win a championship? All the "just let our young players grow" talk is just that......talk.

    Every decision Morey has made has been with an eye toward 2014 and 2015 free agency. They didn't use the room exception, which would've guaranteed someone about $2 million in 2014. No one except Harden and Howard has a contract that extends beyond next season.

    Look at their actions...ignore their talk.

    1: There is no team spirit. Check out the OKC/SAS/MIAMI on court and bench behavior. This is so apparent on the rockets players. They are here to boost/live up to their contracts.

    Failed. The team has the best team spirits. The team stand up on the bench and cheer.

    2: Dwight isn't getting better and there are far better front court players than him.

    Failed. Dwight was dominant in the Playoffs.

    3: Harden is a terrible defender both help and 1-on-1 and only has solo offense style.

    True.

    4: Mchale can't control his players, let alone right down players where players actually follow it.

    Failed. Not so much as not able to control player but rather lack of strategy during in-game situations

    5: Lin contract just blocked any serious incoming players unless we can fool some team to take control of it.

    Failed. Why pick on Lin? What about Asik? And by the way, Lin ain't bad in the Playoffs.

    6: No killer instinct or even potential to have one.

    Failed. There are killer instinct in this team. It's just sometimes they don't play smart. The team play hard, but there is a difference between playing hard and playing dumb. This team sometimes are playing dumb basketball.

    If you think the rockets can defeat the real contenders in a series you are just dreaming. The only way for the rockets to actually win 4 playoff series or even get close to a championship gonna be when the west going to get a weak playoff teams like the east.

    Failed. This team is losing by .09 secs and imo, luck was not on their side this year. Sometimes you need some luck to win games no matter how great a team you are.

    Obviously this roster won't win a championship because this roster will never be the same after this offseason. Even if it's just a role player here and there. Sorry you lose, Rockets win 16 in a row to sweep the playoffs in 2015.

    I stopped reading at #2

    Dwight is the best center in the game

    #2 is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. Dwight showed improvement in his offense this year. Not a whole lot, but we saw his footwork and post moves get better. I believe this current roster just needs one more piece, whether it be a Chris Bosh or Lance Stephenson, to get over the hump.

    What a ridiculous claim. Once the rockets switch a few role players around, you'll claim you're right. There is almost 0% chance this roster will be exactly the same.

    Plus, #2 is just complete nonsense.

    You can change the roster, but the Harden "give me the ball and space the floor" or Dwight's post game will never win a championship or come even close.

    If you guys know basketball, you knows its true, its just not championship material.
