    He needs to be very ****ing careful with what he says. To say he's walking on a thin line career-wise would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. God forbid this gets to ESPN.

    Everyone wants an Elite PG. There just aren't that many to go around (it's why they're Elite).

    Parker - Not leaving the Spurs
    Williams - Multiyear contract, no cap room. They've moved on.
    CP3 - He had his chance but signed with Houston
    Curry - He had his chance but signed with Houston

    As for improving his Offense, right now the guy handling the ball the most is Harden. If that's not good enough, tough luck. With Lin on the bench it's either Harden or Bev feeding him looks.

    And that's not going to change unless the Rockets find a trade for a PG upgrade, which may or may not improve his offensive game depending on how much of a passer vs combo guard they are.

    Of course, a really good passer isn't going to help him in the post that much (that's on him), or in the PnR (if he doesn't do PnR plays), or help his FT's... what exactly is he expecting again? :rolleyes:

    Our perimeter defense has been non-existent but we could have still won the game if we could control our Turn Overs.

    Everyone from our points to the center spot turn the ball over at an alarming rate. If we can get that fixed we will be okay.

    Yep, this looks likely. And Howard exchanging words with Lin at the end looks like two teammates rehashing what went wrong at the end of game. If anything it looked like Lin was more agitated and Howard was more conciliatory, and then asst coach tried to calm Lin down.

    Not going to read all the posts but what is he unhappy about with the PG's? I doubt this is true but if it is the people that should be impatient is anyone that has coached the guy seeing that after 10 years he still can't make a FT and shown little improvement in that god awful post game. I truly would prefer David West on this team rather than DH, blessing in disguise that we only could sign him for 4 years.

    he probably mention this after the loss to lakers, no biggie. we get back to winning, and winning solves everything. not to mention, it takes time for our players to have chemistry. there is no chemistry right now with asik and howard on the floor at the same time, hence we been down 5 out of 6 games after the 1st quarter. there isn't spacing, and this TT gameplan isn't working but there's no other way to play asik and howard the minutes they should receive.

    you would think he's learned not to complain after the way he's handled things he better not say anything cause people wont talk about the Rockets as much as howard complaing again that would be the bigger story

    Dwights problem is that he has so many people in his "circle".

    He talks too much and voices way too much to them.

    I can believe Dwight said it, esp. if it comes from cyberx. I wouldn't give it much stock though -- kneejerk reaction to a bad loss is kneejerk.

    I'm angrier at Parsons' dumb play inbounding it to Dwight when we were up 2 and with less than a minute left on the clock. THAT is the stupid bball IQ play I would yell about all the way into the lockeroom.
