Who cares about the game? Today is a winning day because Tilman just saved some more luxury tax money!
It means the rockets are inconsistent, and are not collectively there as a team. It takes big big games from Harden for them to beat teams. As a team there a 1st round flodder nothing more and nothing less. The way things are going they might be a 8th seed. Only thing i can say is, if this team can somehow get healthy, and get a good trade come the deadline, someone who can come and in here and jell, then maybe this team might have a chance in the first round, assuming they can still have a favorable record to make the playoffs lol.
And we literally added a guy we just got today Let alone Harden is probably ****ing tired of just putting up 50+ points every night. We need this All star break for him to rest and hopefully were mostly healthy by the end of all star breaK. As silly as it sounds we might the most improved team of the 2nd half
Our roster around Harden is Gordon, Tucker and a bunch of NBA castaways. We sign guys off the street, and they are literally in the rotation that night, and Harden has somehow kept us competitive. It's astounting really.
Because we've been Injured, the fact that we have now added 2 solid bench players to our squad (I am counting on Faried to be solid) will start showing once we are healthy. Rivers is showing he can handle heavy minutes when needed and that will come in handy in the playoffs. Faried is an energy guy like Pj so I expect a lot of offensive rebounds and alleys from harden and him. Not only that but we've certainly found our groove as a team we just keep getting injured and havent played as a full squad for a while. Unfortunately EG has been declining this year so unless he steps it up again, he may get traded[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE] I consider Tucker, and EG good bench players, i still have no clue why the rockets have them there. Last year we had a legit starting 5 with Ryan and Ariza in there. I think this team is basicly short 2 starters to start the season in all honesty. Look at the freakin recordd. No Defensive Scheme glue players at all, why in the hell dont they trade EG, for 2 Defensive gurus in a 3 team trade, they dont need scoring.
It means we have one good player and on nights where he is a god he can carry us to a win. In nighrs he’s a Demi-god he can’t.
the rockets are a bad team getting carried by a player having the greatest offensive season since wilt?
It means Hardens doing his best to hold our heads above water. Our starters outside of Harden had a combined 14 points tonight... an average of 3.5 points per non-Harden starter.
Rivers over the last 4 games: 6-25 from three, 11-39 overall. He's in a major funk for whatever reason, so I'm not sure how you're coming up with that.
