    "Dumbtoni" - good one!1!! It's like "McFail" only with "Dumb" because "Dan" sounds like "Dumb". I get it!

    Keep bringing the fire - don't let anyone tell you that you are a derivative child!

    I hope JJ gets his shot back before the playoffs. I'm quite sure MDA will play him.

    I want to see Green on the floor even less than Johnson. Green simply isn't a smart player, this is about Nene.

    I'm hoping it's just rest and he will be back later, but Nene is clearly a more stable rotation player than either guy. I do not like these super small lineups we keep running out there. It's great as an option to chance pace, but over extended minutes I don't care for it at all.

    Johnson hasn't been a bad player for us, he's just been an abysmal shooter. He takes good shots, makes good passes, and plays capable defense, but he just can't seem to find the net with any regularity.

    JJ gonna show his value to all u +/-, box scoring, play-by-play jj haters his tru value to da team. With some of our players getting injured, at least JJ ole healthy body can play for the team.

    Typical haters: "we rather watch our team lose than watch this garbage man play"
    If JJ doesn't play, our other players gonna have to play increased mins, increasing chances of injury to core members. Shorter rotation or JJ playing (lol).

    So guess what haters, u may not like him, but he's gonna hold down the fort and b given the chance to make HISTORY with the Rockets (franchise win record) while our team heals up.

    MDA is obviously making horrible decisions about our rotation, and there's no way anyone can deny it.

    The proof: Since Johnson's first game with us, the team has completely fallen apart, stumbling to a 15-1 record.

    {EDIT: Make that 16-1}

    Dumbtoni needs to cut his minutes. Would rather see a backup big or green come in.

    You kid but the Rockets have played like a 41 team with Johnson on the court(+0.5), and like a 67 win team without him(+8.6).

    He was the reason for the loss against Toronto.

    Playing on an ATG team and no having a winning output with them is insane.

    As soon as the schedule got harder in late January he's been exposed as trash.

    Pulling out random numbers out of your ass not gonna change the end results that we are 15-1 with him. 41 win team? 67 win team? what mumbo jumbo u smoking, we are a 58-14 team rn. Even before Johnson joined us we were like 43-13, pffft 41 win team.
    The cavs right now are 43 win team, r u saying that with Johnson playing we are at that caliber destined to win Eastern conference?
    I fking hate JJ haters who like to blame him for everything, JJ did not single handily put the team behind by 20ish points against the Raptors in the beginning.

    Brewer is athletic, but he failed to play with any discipline for Houston. I don't miss him. I have some hope that Joe will play better, and be a useful rotation player in the playoffs.

    JJ posting up small guards is still a threat for the opposing team's defense, and he is a very good passer out of post. I still believe we can use this in some situations in the playoffs. I am not saying that he fits the Rockets better than Green does or deserves more minutes, but at this point of season, it doesn't hurt to try to add diversity into our offense and practice something that we may benefit from in the playoffs. After all, we didn't lose any game because MDA played Joe Johnson.

    Joe Johnson is doing just fine, I think everything hes doing is part of the plan.

    I’ve noticed some chemistry between JJ and GG when they both on the floor. While JJ posting up and GG walking around the 3pt line.

    JJ will play more minutes than GG even if he never gets his 3 ball back, simply because JJ can play PF and GG can't.

    Kind of what I was saying the other day, GG is going to get minutes at SF, JJ is to be put in strictly at PF because he simply can't play anywhere else.

    Hopefully D'Antoni plays Green and Joe. It looks like they are starting to catch a rhythm together.

    This. I noticed some sweet eye contact and crush between these two on the court.
