    We aren't concerned over ONE GAME.

    Last 5 games have been trending downward.

    We're concerned over the lack of quality adjustments being made.

    I think its a pretty big short term problem as well... teams are not respecting any of the other role players besides Ariza.

    And Harden/Howard, while immensely talented, are both somewhat easy to guard defensively if you can stay in front of them (and Memphis has the personnel to do that).

    This is completely inaccurate and unfair. I was at that game and it was extremely close the whole time until the last 4 or so minutes. Also, we didn't have Jones, Bev or Howard and they struggled to beat us

    Everybody calm down. We're on the road in one of the toughest places to play, against a 9-1 team, on the second night of a back to back, Harden isn't 100%, and we're missing a starter.

    the amount of games the rockets have played compared to how long their season is is about the equivalent of 2 games for the texans in their season. the sample size is still too small to tell

    I agree, and if we aren't going to lay Canaan, trade him for a backup big that we will play.

    It really isn't simple, it's not like Memphis is shooting like ****.

    Even if we get within 10 Memphis they'll go to their front court which is significantly better than ours, Memphis hasn't even gone to Gasol & Randolph.

    If this game was gonna be competitive, we needed to win the match up of the guards, we're getting destroyed.

    Saying that Pap, Dwight, Dmo & Black have been bad is an understatement. Thing is Tjones disappears when we're losing so it wouldn't make much of a difference.

    We really need to make sure the next player we acquire is CONSISTENT on both ends, like Ariza. Millsap/Faired would do wonders for this team.

    Yeah I agree with you, we should give credit on the schooling that the grizz are giving us.

    Randolph is a tough matchup for almost ALL PFs in the league, so we really can't blame our guys.

    A zone might not be a great idea, considering their 3s are on traget tonight, but in small stretches to kind of throw them off their game is worth trying

    The Rockets will win. And once they do, I want someone to quote this very post.

    Rockets have played pretty bad for the third game in a row and that falls on the coaching. I don't like bashing coaches but it is obvious McHale is just not a good strategist and consistently gets out coached. The team has plenty of talent, even with a short bench, to be better than they are playing.
