    Why does just about everyone that have left the Rockets, look better now since they have left, James Harden has never passed the ball better than he doing now. Westbrook looks like a different player not the human turn off like when he played with the Rockets.

    LOL

    Harden and Westbrook are exactly the same players they were when they played for the Rockets, better even.

    Harden wasn't even trying when he was here with Silas. Westbrook never played for Silas and before then was still recovering from injury. He was horrible in Washington until he got healthy. He just wasn't healthy for most of his time with the Rockets.

    Yes, he has....right down to the subtle nuances. I think THE WAY WE GOT HERE is what sickens everyone. Regardless, the Rockets have needed a good ole fashioned organic rebuild for eons. Les wouldn't allow it and ultimately charged Morey with the almost impossible low percentage play. Daryl, being the wizard he is, pulled it off. (and STILL is given a hard time)

    Regarding Silas - The proof for the doubters, of course, will be when he and Stone instill a culture over the next few years...while we rebuild and come out the other side...a young, perennial threat for many years.

    SS is not a horrible coach, quite the opposite. And, in a couple of years, that reputation will be part of our new identity.

    No prospects are guaranteed especially when not tested. Thomas and KPJ showcased absolute promise. Maybe they work on their anti-injury and see if Olynk then later Wood resigns and go from there?

    Yeah right, that gave him everything he wanted, wanted a Big Man got him Howard, wanted another guard got him Paul, wanted Westbrook got him. The bottom line in the playoff's he choked or just getting care.

    Sad to see how many CF’s members don’t approve of what Coach Silas did this season.o_O

    IMHO, he played the hand he was dealt to perfection! He was tasked with a Tank Job and he did it in spades! Hopefully he gets an opportunity to coach a real NBA team with the green light to actually try to win games! But I have a gut feeling he’s going to be a scapegoated by Tilly before the Cavalry arrives! Oh what a wicked Webb....


    Go Rockets!!!

    do you really think the tank happens on a coaching level?

    i guess that's more reasonable than believing players are involved but i doubt it goes further than the owner giving the GM the ok.

    It wasn't a hip it was a hamstring we weren't going to ever win a title with Harden.. Bottom line

    Westbrook is healthy. Harden has KD and Kyrie. I would look better too coming from Houston.

    Last season Harden put up better numbers and Westbrook had the most efficient season of his career.

    Rockets were a damn good team last year.
