    Dwight does a lot for this team on offense that people don't realize.

    The main thing being is that the opposing center always has to worry about him. His post-ups may slow down the offense and there can be a problem of going to them way too much, but it keeps that other guy occupied.

    Last few games the other centers are just hanging around the paint. If Harden even gets close to the paint they are ready to shut him down. Before Harden always had Dwight to pass to.

    He has Jones to pass to whose not bad and Dmo who will either mishandle the pass or brick the shot nowadays.

    This whole team is just playing bad right now.

    our defence is the biggest difference, we need to play great all round defence if we want to go anywhere this season

    Yeah. The Rockets definitely need this stretch of easy games to get out of the funk.

    This team is looking fundamentally flawed. I have never seen a worse FT shooting NBA team, and Dwight Howard isn't even playing!

    Can a team like that ever win anything? I am reminded of the Derrick Rose Memphis team that was vastly more talented than any other NCAA yet lost a doozy of a game, basically because of free throws missed.

    Only down by 8 and only the first quarter ,we will be ok. Shots need to start falling in and defense needs to im prove letting to many shooters open . We need this win hopefully the rockets will pick it up .

    Does this team practice three pointers, free throws or finishing in the paint? For a team whose offensive philosophy is to get points from the paint, the foul line or from the arc, we sure miss a lot of opportunities...

    We have big men who miss easy paint shots and perimeter guys who can't shoot the three. No one but Harden can hit/get free throws consistently.

    Money/Moreyball philosophy does not fit our team at all.

    Harden is being doubled and if he breaks the double there is Deandre Jordan.

    Not a dumb move at all. Jordan Hamilton is a nobody so using him to allow Dorsey to brick free throws like everyone expects is not a waste. If Clippers weren't sloppy they could've taken advantage of the extra possession. At least they had a shot.

    Yes McHale sucks as a coach but the Rox playing philosophy just doesn't match the personnel at this point. A lot of this is on Morey.

    Let's be really though, Morey signed these players when they were good at threes layups and free throws. The moment they became rockets all of sudden the forget how to play basketball.

    First shot of the quarter, a three with a hand in Josh's face...I should've made a $1000 bet on that.
