    No it doesn't. Harden has to be our primary attacker and playmaker.

    That is so good to read. If it translates (and Dwight is truly healthy, obv.), we could be really, really good.

    How has he looked in practice? What is everyone expecting from him? Hope he's not wanting 20 shots per game. Set screens, get rebounds, and like Mutombo said, "dunk on them, dunk on both of them, dunk on all of them"

    If Howard can give us 15-20 solid minutes against the Pelicans, I will be satisfied. I am glad he is back.

    He should just focus on rebounding and defense.

    Damn, that's a great read.

    Thank God Dwight is buying in, and props to Terry for investing himself fully to ensure the chemistry of the team.

    We have something special in Harden. He is not stubborn, and I think that's really rare.

    Hopefully, Dwight plays to his strengths a lot more and serves as a good complement to the rest of the team.

    Funny how Terry and Harden could convince him to defer when Kobe couldn't.

    I hope he is healthy. The rockets just like me could use a little good luck

    If he can play 20-25 minutes, that would be great for the team.

    Good article. Howard acknowledges Harden is the engine pulling the wagon.

    Different situation. Kobe was an aging superstar on the decline while Harden is entering his prime and could be the MVP of the league this season. This Rockets team is better than that Lakers squad. And Dwight is 2 years older and starting to decline physically.

    If Dwight is smart, he'll embrace a reduced role offensively and focus on defense. It'll extend his career and earn him a nice fat extension(and maybe even a ring or two).

    Yes the Big Man is showing he really is a BIG MAN ! Team is what this is about now. Rockets have a chance, as much as almost all teams, to go ahead and do this.

    As predicted now what seems so long ago in the summer, Jason Terry would be a fan favorite. Through it all that is what he is, and his teammates respect the hell out of him.

    Fie on all ye doubters ! Trade fodder...not on your life !

    Go Jet....Go Rockets !

    God is good. Bull is good.

    Dwight is good.


    and Thank JET out of everyone, like I mentioned. Big time inspiration for our group.

    I do look forward to D12 coming back. I think our defense will be much improved. But, I am curious what others think of a possible Prigioni / D12 pick and roll while James is on the bench. Do you think we can scrape some offense out of that? Prigs seems to be a fairly smart decision maker. I am hopeful that those two can generate some offense together. Maybe in certain situations those two with Jet in (assuming he finds his range) can be serviceable. Thoughts?

    It's hard to convince people of anything when you're a total a-hole.
