    More Ls in this shortened season where Harden made his nonverbal public trade demands or talking about the Rockets not getting to the finals once?

    Michael Jordan lost to young Shaq, Penny and his former mate Horace Grant.

    It can happen.

    Indeed, the results are the results.

    Yep.... and Harden went with the dogmatic layups and 3s during the 0 for heartbreaking game........ driving into the teeth of a very elite defense instead of taking what the defense gives you. GSW saw how Pop took away the lane and the Rocket's stubbornly didn't adjust.

    And we had some real duds and heartbreakers against non GSW teams....

    So then based on the results, we can check off "heavy iso ball" as the singular strategy then? Instead of dogmatically looking at it as ISO ball vs team ball, how about just a more balanced attack?

    Lastly, I hate to break it to you..... this is still preseason for the Rockets based on the events.

    Simple.

    Play Harden like he did Luka last season.

    Either Wall plays only when Harden sits or trade him for better complementary players for Silas system.

    Longer ball handling wings that can hit 3ball.

    Harden has a career low usage this season. That should tell you all you need to know about Silas

    Another leading assists players is Russle Westbrook. Rockets fans know him is a terrible player. Leading assists doesn’t mean you are 100% good, especially you earns 40 million a season.
