    When I first started reading I thought you were talking about McGrady as an anal(c)yst. I'll take the rapist for $200, Trebek.

    Just because he isn't shooting as much doesn't mean he isn't getting as many touches. More now than ever, teams are content to foul him before he can get a good shot off. You can't just look at his shots per game.

    They both need to grow up and understand that as long as they play as individuals instead of a team they will never win anything or go anywhere.

    The fans are the ones that are getting the short end of the stick in all of this crap. We as fans spend our hard working money to go out and support a bunch of immature brats who don't give a crap about anyone but themselves.

    I hope that get rid of both of them and get some guys in here with heart and who want to play together to accomplish a common goal of being champions..

    to an extent... certainly during "hack - A...." periods he racks up the free throws... but there are periods of 5, 6, 7 minutes where he touches the ball on the offensive end once or twice outside of rebounds... at least that's what I see when I watch...

    The worst thing that ever happened to Dwight was him getting the idea he needs to be a dominant low-post scorer. Where he should be putting his focus offensively is running PnR with Harden, or with Lawson when he plays with the second unit. That 4/5 pick-and-roll between Smith and Howard was also very effective last year .

    I love Dwight, he gives the team all he has on the defensive end, he's a monster on the boards. I don't mind the ocassional post up thrown his way with the right matchup, or when he has deep positioning. I just wish he had that same zeal for PnR offense, that should be a staple between Harden/Howard. He's deadly when he commits to being the roll man, plus he would end up with more shots within the offense playing that style.

    DeAndre Jordan is on his third year in a row shooting 67.5% or higher.

    Should the Clippers be feeding him more in the post or getting him more shots?

    Of course...

    Simple maths for Deandre Jordan

    FG% = .696
    FGA per game = 6.4
    PPG = 12.2
    Scores 1.9pts per shot attempt

    Increase his FGA per game to 32

    (32 X .69)2 = 44.16PPG

    Haven't you heard? Harden lead us to the WCF.

    He can never, ever, ever, EVER be called a loser.

    He is the greatest Rocket apart from the Championship teams.

    You mustn't know basketball if you call McGrady a loser and then call Harden a loser.

    Signed,

    The most knowledgable Rockets, nay, basketball, fan ever to live. Tinman. :rolleyes:

    It's not really just a post up problem. Like last night, Dwight is open and james throws some drunk pass. Then later in OT dwight is wide open for a dunk and harden with a clear vision to him, dribbles around and we get a bad shot. He is just flat out ignored or given very bad passes a lot of times

    Hardens will never be able to compare to kobes even left pinkie toe. Harden doesn't have a drive or any reason for not liking dwight or wanting to use him. He just wants to be the guy and get all the glory while not making any sacrifices. Dwight has sacrificed more in the last 3 years, basically making people believe he is a scrub, to help this team win games. He has not once flat out complained or anything. Never talks about stats or any of that. He said he wants to win and do what is necessary. While harden is like "we've got another game so its ok". We won't ever win with harden until he turns into a true leader. Dwight led that Orlando team. Harden is just a good player on this team.
