    Harden blows, Mcgrady was even a better player than he is.

    Morey has lots of work to do by the trading deadline. No way does he leave this team as is. Jones coming back will help the cause but the team needs a true PG and a legit back up C.

    I feel sad for Harden. No one can help him in this team.

    It's sad to see that the naysayers are right and the current Rocket team just isn't a true contender. The defense they depended on in the early part of the season has vanished, and outside of Harden they have no offense.

    As someone who has watched every game this year, it seemed to me that the slide started around the time Papanikoloau injured his knee. The team seemed to have really good chemistry up to that point, and since has struggled to regain it. While Smith and Brewer have actually played pretty well as individuals, the team just hasn't gelled since their arrival. I can't help but wonder if the team still had Black, Papanikoloau, and Canaan in the rotation and Cisco on the bench if they would be playing better.

    Not only balance in terms of player skill sets, but the discipline to execute on a solid game plan.

    Right now the Rockets have talent, and a somewhat good game plan about 75% of the time. This is when we spread the floor and have Smith or Horward set some picks for Harden. The problem is Dwight's ego won't allow him to set picks all day and it's killing our offense.

    Meanwhile on the defensive end Harden still got caught napping in this game on that Draymond 3, but they've been killing us mostly off of our own dumb turnovers. Again that's on Dwight's insistence on posting up. It doesn't help the Bev, Brewer, Ariza have mostly been ineffective playmakers as well. But when Dwight doesn't run our game plan, we are screwed.

    So we went with defense over offense this season and every playoff team scores at will against us. I think it's time for a huge strategy 9verhaul, morey ball only gets us blowout wins against the knicks and lakers... and that too needs mvp performances from harden every game.

    New coach

    NEW STRATEGY

    only need 1 new player [PG who creates]

    That may be, but we have to chance it. Trying to keep pace with this team just isn't working.

    We have issues..

    1) We have talent... But not being used correctly..

    2) Teams get to Howard by frustrating him and the coach just sits there..

    3) Teams get to bullying DMo and not adjustments are made...

    I totally agree with you. Get rid of Dwight. He is cancer. No heart.

    Rockets DO NOT have another spot shooter/create off the dribble mid range shooter on the team. Only player that can make shots not in and not out is Harden...especially when it gets tough like tonight... PERIOD THE END
