    Ehhh I don't think his weakness on D has anything to do with softness. He's often too aggressive and draws unnecessary fouls.

    True enough that he deserves criticism.

    Is this what you think actually happened? No.

    They pronounce it "beeeyotch".

    The problem is that the team is just too flawed, from the coach to our star players and down to the 13th man who plays. Talking will not solve anything, even more so because we don't have a leader. There's not one of Howard or Harden who will set the example and even if they remind guys of those talks or whatever, they are not going to buy it. I wouldn't. Can you imagine Harden telling you to play harder on defense? Can you imagine Howard telling you to get him the ball in the post all the time?

    Hopefully this one is more serious than the last 12 Players Only Meetings that we have had this season alone. The Rockets have almost killed my love of basketball this season, but they have definitely killed my opinion of Players Only Meetings. This crap doesn't work. It's all about ACTION not TALK.

    Was food served in these players-only meetings? No meeting is successful without at least snacks. I bet that's why it hasn't worked the first five, six, seven, eight times.

    A1 sauce with the food? Wins coming.

    Dmo isn't happy about all the talking - he loses his breath too fast and is pooped out by game time.

    PLAY HARDER! TRY HARDER! YOU LOUSY MOTHER****ERS!

    But really, John Blair is not without blame.

    So much for his disrespecting the game rant.

    “Over and over again, we’ve disrespected the game. Our priorities need to be clear, and I need to do a better job of playing people whose priorities are clear.”

    Yeah, okay. Spewing more bull**** like the players.

    We need to have players only meetings a day before we play good teams all the time!
