    I think we're "okay" where we're at. It's a matter of finding the right combinations. At this point, I think Bev should be starting the offense (whichever mess Mchale runs) because he's more familiar with it. Ty can get his off the bench and then later on during small ball.

    I think we miss Josh's versatility, but only because TJ isn't being played correctly. He's not able to do what we're accustomed to because of spacing and misusing his body in the post.

    Simple adjustments.

    If not, patience.

    Letting Josh Smith walk was a mistake. If you can't see that then yes, you're a delusional homer.

    We didn't offer him a significant role though. Watching T.Jones get his shots blocked under the rim every game is a reminder of what role Smith would've played had he been here

    Don't mind him, he's always wrong about players. And he was anti JSMOOVE from the very beginning. This his way of being right.

    If Rockets and Rocket's fans do not remember then the Clippers sure did. They wooed him like a long lost love.

    We don't know what we told him. If we told him Capela and DMo would play I have no problem with that

    You must be talking about how they look in a suit, right?

    Say what you want, but you also now have to admit that maybe Josh was right about picking the better team.

    :(

    That Clipper bench is still terrible though.

    But cp3, Blake and DeAndre is a nice trio

    Sorry. You're wrong about that. Clippers bench is better than our bench and you'll see it when we play them. Unless we make another significant player transaction, the Clippers have moved past us.

    Rockets offered more than the Clippers financially. Smith chose to leave. He didnt want to compete with Dmo and TJones for court time.

    I'da still liked if they kept everyone from last roster, retain chemistry and continuity

    I actually think they would've sucked as well and we would still have lost 3 games in a row. Guys, its a team issue. We are collapsing every game the way we made the Clippers collapse in Game 6.

    Its not superior defense played by the other team or a lack of offense from our team. We are just not clicking and not able to sustain any form of flow for 48 minutes.

    This is a thesis so preposterous that I wish we could bring back Josh and Pablo for a 10-game run, just to demonstrate how false it is.

    Josh Pablo Jones, the problem is that Harden is playing like ****. He was doing all these not basketball workouts, boxing,etc etc and his muscle memory got screwed up.

    Harden had a bad off season trying plan and I he did it to take stress off his legs. He will never do that again.

    That's the real problem, Jones Pablo Josh....GTFOH :rolleyes:
