    What if Harden and Thornton all of a sudden got hot as hell tomorrow. Something to hope for.

    Harden is 12-54 from the field... We won't win anything when he is playing THAT bad and everyone else...

    Fire McFail and get a coach in here that will coach his team to attack the basket when the 3 point shot isn't falling..

    I wasn't too concerned until last night. For them to be up by that much, and just Crack the rest of the game was bizarre.

    We basically fed into what the Heat wanted us to do & we didn't have anyone to put up a Thornton hot streak in the second half.

    We have a lot of talent, but there's no real direction at this time. This is on James, Dwight, & Kevin to get this thing right.

    Not putting blame on Daryl. He surrounded his two stars w/ plenty of pieces around them. Time for them and Kevin to step up and take control.

    79 games of ignoring idiots who point to this as the magical solution.

    Seriously, you can't expect Harden to go 0-xx from 3, 82 games in a row. We still gonna get that 4th seed.

    Oh you're completely right. I forgot it's impossible for a team in sports to turn around their seasons and players get hot. Silly me .

    I feel like most the time we can only have one good half a game

    Rockets are going to be a playoff team. They are too good. Question is why are they playing so poorly. They did at times last year - looks like a lot of rust.

    But what signs are there that things are going to improve? They've been consistently awful their first 3 games. It's not like they're losing close ones that come down to the last couple possessions.

    Now I don't think Harden, Ariza, and Brewer can all continue to play this badly, but the defense is still atrocious. If that doesn't change, they're going to lose a lot of games even when Harden drops 35-40 points.

    The spread is OKC -4
    Definitely putting heavy money on that
    They'll cream us.
    If I have to watch disappointment they may as well make me some money

    0-4, then they lost to Baron Davis in the 1st round and Dirk got his MVP after being eliminated.

    Looking at the schedule, I can see us getting to 6-5, so yeah it looks bad and it IS bad but not the end of the world. Will be 0-4 tonight but then we have a string of lottery teams to play.

    if they cant hit a three, make a close shot, or get to the line, then they should be give the mid range shot a try.

    Both the problem and the solution are clear. We've got to eliminate the Kardashians before any more games are lost.

    -Over the past 5 seasons, 17 out of 23 teams that have started 0-3 have missed the playoffs.
    -4 of the 6 teams that went on to make the playoffs lost in the first round, with one team ('13-'14 Wizards) advancing to the Conference Semis, and another team ('11-'12 Celtics) advancing to the Conference Finals.
    -13 of the 23 teams were in the Eastern Conference, 10 in the Western Conference
    -The team that has started 0-3 the most over the past 5 seasons is Detroit, having done it 4 times.

    of those teams that ended up making the playoffs how many were in the East? My guess all of them.
