    With all said, I think the happiest man on the planet is Mark Cuban. Dallas is doing great and it seems that Pachulia is a way better value than DeAndre Jordan and for peanuts (payed). In fact, the Dallas big men are very tough bunch of guys. Pachulia, Nowitzki, McGee, Powell and Villanueva. Cuban should be grateful to the Clippers for stealing Jordan back.

    When an average coach gets way too much power and plays his son too much, you know it's going to happen.

    Could be Juwan Howard all over again. The Heat signed him to a massive deal back in 1996 before the league voided it and he returned to the then-Bullets. Miami went with PJ Brown for a much smaller contract and were better off for it in the long run(and Washington was saddled with a mediocre team and a horrible contract).

    The one consolation for this season is that the Clippers are just as dysfunctional as us.

    Well, they still have a better record and are in the playoffs if the season ends now.

    Clippers are no where close to the disaster level we're at. Their stars may struggle a bit, but not to a level where your star player is **** every single game and you start wondering if he belongs in NBA.
    Also Paul is a mature person, Griffin has potential to be mature. Dwight is Griffin wanabe and harden is a lost cause. DeAndre doesn't matter when he's a third wheel.

    as much as I hate the Clippers and their "fans" this does nothing for me. We're just as bad.

    I think Josh and his amount of crazy led to some strange paradox effect with the Rockets last year where our chemistry actually improved despite all of the personalities on this team.

    Clips thought he was a changed man but it was really just a perfect storm.

    I'd take him back if they waive him. What do we have to lose?

    I can never figure out how Doc River, Paul & the rest of those guys got that much credit, did you have to win to be recognized in this league?

    Doc River has been a mediocre coach in his entire career. He won once, but that's when someone handed him two top players. I have no idea how this guy all of a sudden becomes a "great coach" in this league.

    Then you have Paul, BG, DJ, none of them has won anything since entered the league. How could people give them so much credit with such little achievement they have got?

    As for the Rockets, they over achieved last season. They were not as good as they looked last year, but not as bad as they are showing now. They just hit the valley now, will climb out eventually.

    Harden **** the bed every single night......Like when he won player of the week right? Like when he averages 40 FORTY in our wins this year... Griffin is sooo mature helping lock up Deandre in his house over the summer and engaging in an emoji war.....and by the way...the Rockets BEAT LA this year. Explain how they aren't more dysfunctional, especially when everyone was picking them to win the damn title

    LOL no. Pachulia will miss at least 15 games with injuries and is expiring. He shouldn't be a starting center. I have watched him for two years closely. When he has to face a lot of length he gets exposed because he can't jump over a newspaper.

    Why everyone calling Smith shouting in the lockeroom as him being a cancer?:rolleyes:
    This is what he SHOULD do to have his team wake up. Someone should start doing something about their awful streak and perfomances. And shouting and speaking up is one of those things.

    Exactly. He's not a good coach only a good motivator.
    Why do you bother arguing with this troll? He's not a Rockets fan and he even admits it himself. He is a DMO only tard.

    Josh Smith is only getting 15mpg. He was getting 25 minutes in Houston

    That's probably a reason...He definitely would've been starting in Houston by now. Doc had to promise him more minutes.

    I didn't say he was a cancer. But I don't consider shouting at a coach in front of teammates a sign of leadership.

    josh smith made his own decision. I don't really feel sorry for him if he's at all frustrated. he put this on himself. Saw this coming anyway. No way would the clips let him play as freely as he did here in Houston.
