Wall: If you have certain guys that don’t want to buy in, it’s hard

    Exactly. I think it's too early to say one way or the other on how good or bad this team can be. Not having a normal camp and Harden coming in late, i still think we need to give this team time to gel.

    I wish Harden would give it some time too but sounds like he's done lol =(

    Micro-ball was Morey's biggest failure and was NEVER going to work. Hell, they're still playing micro-ball as far as I'm concerned. The Texans are getting killed (AND RIGHTFULLY SO ) for bad management but Tillman is just as bad. Tillman quit this summer by avoiding the luxury tax, flushing Morey, MDA & Westbrook for Two newbies & a guy that hasn't played basketball in two years. He set the house on fire and left Harden in it. James compounded things by showing up out of shape which is UNFORGIVABLE for a professional athlete. There's enough blame to go around, but at the end of the day the run is just over.

    What makes it hard is when you miss wide open layup/dunks. Lulz. Wall is bad. NEXT

    Well, aside from the "buying in" comment he made comments to controlling what he can control as a player instead of pouting, and made comments about not jumping off the cliff after 9 games. I agree with him there, rather than admitting defeat and surrender like Harden has done.

    Wall has the highest TS% on layups out of anyone in the league right now. Good take.

    It’s bull. Wall knows this team sucks and it’s only a matter of time before **** gets really bad. There is no leadership or path from the front office. The owner is pile of human trash who treats his employees like they nothing and walks around with an inflated ego. The HC is in way over his head and apparently is lost on how to run an offense even though he has the greatest 1 on 1 player ever and proven offensive blueprint.

    The roster is full of misfits and 1 dimensional players who don’t fit together at all. The off season signing is an absolute disaster on the defensive side of the ball and a very mediocre rebounder not to mention he apparently forgot how to shoot or maybe those 18 games last year were simply just an outlier. Eric Gordon has absolutely disappeared off the face of the earth and John Wall is John Wall. A slightly better Westbrook in terms of fitment which isn’t saying much. And lastly the franchise player despises ownership and rightfully so. He’s unhappy and like I said before the year even if a person is giving 1000% if you are unhappy with your job it will show.
    Everything does and always will point back at Tilman. This is his mess that he created. Now he has to deal with it. And unfortunately for us fans that isn’t going to end well.

    Don't think it's been a single game.

    Yeah that just signals he's not interested in giving this a chance. Fine. Trade him.

    Next step for Harden is either faking a injury or disrespecting teammates more blatantly.

    He's bad. The team is bad. Enjoy your free employee meal at Joe's Crab Shack. NEXT

    Perkins: Number one rule in the locker room is you don't throw your teammates under the bus.

    Yep.

    Stephen A said rockets are contemplating sitting him until he's traded but the decision is up to him.

    MFer has been burning bridges with everyone. Cp3 hates him now, Westbrook is disgusted by his behaviour and now John Wall lost all respect for him aswell.

    All of them have been close/very close friends of James before. Somebody gotta give him a reality check. He's a (extremely talented) big baby.

    That's what should be done. Harden doesn't deserve to be allowed to suit up since he's not going to try anyway.

    Defensively. Capella is miles better than Wood
    Same for rebounding.

    Yeah, if what SAS says is true that's silly they are even giving him an option. Sit him. Now. Keep him away from the locker room and let the guys that want to be there have a shot at playing and proving themselves.

    true, but wood has more potential. He’s a project.
    Not great for harden who wants to win now, but for the rockets, in 2-3 years, wood can be amazing

    I think he is growing frustrated that Stone wasn't exactly leaving no stones unturned.

    Dude can't even give normal interviews.

    I slightly blame Silas for misreading the situation and not benching him more.
