It's not just this game. He's been a monster since locking down the starting job. He's been the best rim-protector in the league since the trade deadline.
The Rockets have no motor. Harden has been running on idle last night and tonight. Who flipped the circuit breaker?
I am with on this, how sure are the Rockets that not only can Dwight come back but what happens when he gets into foul trouble. The team has shown that they desperately need a back up C. Morey is a fool IF he thinks that Dorsey or anyone else can be the back up C. Take a chance on McGee but look at the way McHale plays his bench. He should give Prigioni or McDaniels some PT especially on a B2B. Oh well.
30 rebounds are easy for him like a piece of cake. Yesterday McHale said the solution to offensive rebound issue is to make those shots. LOL.
Credit to Carl , he was the one who said the opposite of everyone. D-Mo untouchable? No trade his ass!
It has nothing to do with Harden playing bad. Harden just doesn't give a damn. He's not even trying to play.
I would be interested to see the % of available boards he grabbed, how many offensive rebounds he gave up, and how many times he was 5 feet away when the nearest Jazz received a pass. He does know his role. I'm just upset with the whole team. One game is one thing, but this is just part 2 of the laziness we saw last night.
To be fair, he was once playing at an unreal level, but he just wore out. He needs an offseason of training and building up stability and he'll be a lot better.
I say start Dorsey and make him hound Gobert like a cheap suit. His focus needs to be boxing out Gobert, even on offense.
Me too...LOVE Murphy...he doesn't mess around, he tells it like it is. He just said "this Rocket team is a better team than this. " Only thing is I like Bill too but not like Murph. There is no "dog" in Murph and he calls it out when he sees it..and he is seeing a LOT of it last night and tonight.

The basketball Gods hate me. First the Rockets lose to Portland. Earlier today the Longhorns give up a late double digit lead and lose on a buzzer beater to Iowa State, and now the Rockets trail the Jazz by double digits and look to be stuck in second gear. Maybe I should give up watching basketball and watch p*rn instead. I'd probably just end up with carpal tunnel. I can't win.
