    It takes a certain basketball intelligence to see the huge impact that Kostas brings to the Rockets on the floor.


    We could desperately use him in this game.

    Man our transition offense has suffered between this season and last.

    BAD! BAD! BAD!

    Tell us Calvin!

    Rocket came out sleep walking.
    Bench came in got them going; starters didn't take it any further.
    Rockets cannot keep putting it all on [James] shoulders.

    Ariza may be tired from playing so many minutes.
    Howard maybe still out of shape from his month long knee injury/vacation.
    Beverly has hit his ceiling.
    Smith has no confidence, may or may not completely suck now, and is confused.
    If Harden isn't scoring, the starters don't score.

    The bench is much better thanks to Brewer.
    Canaan must have cursed out Mchale at practice. No idea why he isn't seeing playing time anymore.

    That's a big reason we're struggling. The missed free throws and TOs are killing us, but those wouldn't be magnified so much if Bev and Ariza(and Terry for that matter) weren't absolutely stinking it up from the field the last few games.

    They also need to pick up the damn pace. Harden dribbles that ball so slowly up the court, he's risking an 8 second violation nearly every time. Seriously, look at the shotclock next time he's bringing it up. When he crosses halfcourt, I guarantee it'll show 18 or 17 seconds left. We're wasting a quarter of the possession for no reason whatsoever.

    Wasn't able to watch the 1st half. How's our bench doing?

    Why did Morey have the urgency to get Brewer to shore up the bench if KPap is such a difference maker off the bench.

    Calvin is one of my favorite rockets ever.

    What does he bring to the court? His shooting has been terrible all season.

    I dont care that Josh Smith sucks on offense, but he is bringing nothing on D. Dwight routinely plays with no fire, can't have two front players that loaf.

    Thank you. People are seriously overrating Big Papa.

    Harden's nursing a hamstring injury. Could be why he hasn't demanded the ball much except in the endgame of the last few games

    Ok. Keeping it even in terms of the score. Dorsey is playing with energy, although he's still a disaster at the foul line. D-Mo is having an off night. Terry isn't doing much. And Brewer is hustling on D, but isn't lighting it up offensively.

    Kostas is a play maker. Even when his shot isn't falling he contributes by getting others easy shots. McHale needs to get him back in the rotation.

    Josh Smith has been hurt all season, guys. This article is from December 10th... just a few weeks ago:

    http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nba/pistons/2014/12/10/josh-smith-works-push-nagging-injuries/20224395/



    So have some hope that he will get better as the season progresses.
