    Forget this game, Let's hope they decide to play Chris Paul because apparently we can't beat LAC without him and atleast with him we might get our assess handed out so we can see some real changes in this team.

    Harden is not having a good game. He's having empty points and like 8 TOs.

    I know the team.played bad. But your leader, your go to guy, the runner up for MVP absolutely folded tonight. Its pathetic. If he even plays average we win this game.

    This is ridiculous. The Rockets did not come ready to play, simple as that.

    LAC beating us up like this without CP3 does not bode well for Houston for the rest of this series. We should be destroying the Clippers.

    I've never put much stock into how finishing the previous series early translates into performing better in the first game in the next series. I don't think it matters much whether a team finishes off their previous opponent in 4-5 games versus 7 games. It has no bearing on a team's focus. The only benefit to closing out Dallas early is to get a bit more time to mend some nicks, bruises and bumps.

    Me too. The team seems to take it as a source of pride. I say let Prigioni start as PG and let Harden make assisted scores.

    Our PFs shat the bed tonight. Put Capela at PF. He's doing great. As I mentioned earlier, Prigioni/Brewer/Ariza/Capela/Dwight may be the best lineup we can field for this series.

    That was different. The Rockets outplayed the Suns for 3 quarters in each of those games and just collapsed in the 4th with lazy offense. These Rockets are getting outplayed and outhustled. It's like they expected the Clippers to roll over and forfeit the game. Did no one on this team notice last season when Griffin came in 3rd in the MVP voting because he carried the team during Paul's absence?

    As good as McHale has become or improved I do not think he is ready yet.

    The team is not quite ready either. We will see. We need some optimism though because I want to at least see us against the Warriors.
