    AD takes off while Woods is shooting just like Bron takes off when Harden shoots... so how can one get back when shot is being released ... a lot of y’all don’t watch the game

    He just blew this game bro. No hand cuffs. He's gotta do better. He's a star!

    That is outside of the box thinking but he didn't know Harden isn't made for this......and Wall isn't a superstar.

    Now he knows, if he doesn't make adjustments everything is screwed anyway.

    HOF's were pounding the table for Silas during the hiring process. Although with this group I don't think it matters much.

    Wall should have been feasting on the Harden-Wood double teams.

    With his touches, he should of had a career night. He should be having a career night every game in fact.

    If the team would have hit their 3s the game would have maybe be different and defensively this team is no where near where it needs to be. Boogie needs to do a better job staying in games and someone needs to talk to him because he hurt the team tonight gettning ejected!!

    Get a better player then Harden and then make him a decoy. Not with a far inferior player like wall.

    This was a good game to gauge where we're at. The next game will be a tough watch though knowing Lakers can be so lock down on the defense at a moment's notice.

    We're nowhere close to being a title contender if that wasn't obvious. We'd lucky to get in as 6th seed this year.

    He is Cuttino Mobley at the 4-5 (or whatever “position” Silas has decided he is). He doesn’t do much else but me makes sure he gets his 20 points, even if it means exploding in garbage time.


    He can put up good lines until he plays a physical team and then he disappears like post train crossing Eddie Griffin.

    Clutch being extremely generous with his response.

    He could have unloaded armageddon on that guy.

    Agreed on all points.

    I don’t think his value is going to climb any higher unless Silas scraps his vision and just let’s harden do his thing. But I don’t even know if that’d be enough.

    I’m over it though. I wanted him to truly buy in. Because I do think this team can play better if he does. But he’s shown that he’s just not that interested in doing so.

    As much as it sucks I think they have to pick what package or player they like best and go ahead and rip the bandaid off because this isn’t going anywhere and it’s just delaying the teams new vision going forward.

    Also another observation appears to be the Lakers have the pick n roll sniffed out from the get go. I dont they are attacking it fast enough to put the pressure on the defense. If they go slow the help defense was always ready!!

    I agree my friend, but as a Rockets fan I am much more concerned with the attitude and hierarchy of my players.

    I know he’s not talking about playing hard.
    I just know he isn’t
