Do the Rockets really have a superstar on this team?

LOL reading 101. they were on the Lakers 04-05 team

 

so you basically think they're complete garbage? LOL

 

butler is garbage yes

 

was he garbage for that year or for his whole career?

 

About 95% of the posts in this thread are garbage.

 

whole career

 

Paul George is in that mix as well.

 

PG is not a SG

 

indeed

 

Butler was averaging 15 ppg that year and Odom 15 ppg and 10 rebounds... They were veterans and had more than a year's start between them. Kobe had two guys putting up 15 points and wasn't bad defensively. Harden had Parsons who was putting up 15 was ranked around 20th at his position. And Jermey was coming off injury right...??? Delfino was a EXCELLENT POWER FORWARD right....??? McHale had perfect coaching right...??? They didn't even have any plays...Lol.. Asik was the only other big time player night in night out on this squad and he can't catch... Harden did more with less... That's what I consider

Look at Portland's starting lineup they had last year compared to the Rockets and they didn't make the playoffs.

Not once did I call the rest of the crew scrubs. You're just taking it that way. The only description I gave was inexperienced and limited starts...A team full of guys who were pretty much coming off the bench the year before.

 

i dont care what you say..that lakers team completed sucked.theres no way to defend it..last years rockets team was way better then that lakers team

 

what about portlands starting lineup? All they had was Aldridge and a rookie PG with no legit bigman..thats no surprise to me

 

what bothers me, is the close games at the stretch, there's no clutch player.
Harden iso is not really working. Im okay with a set play for Harden but if he doesnt have a clear lane or shot then oulet to Parson, Lin, or Dwight if they are open. I dont think harden should be trying to draw fouls in the last 2 mins of a game.

 

You don't have to care what I say. Everyone is welcome to their opinion even if it's wrong...

 

Thanks for proving you only started watching ball last year.

 

yeah ok..butler has proved nothing but being a low basketball iq scrub his whole career who thinks hes better than he really is...talk when he actually achieves something

 

and being on the roster for the mavs in 2011 means nothing

 

Can you out play that scrub YOLO? LOL

That scrub made it to the NBA hahahahahahahah:grin:

 

Melo doent have any court vision outside of the basket. Harden is widely regarded as the best passing/court vision SG in the NBA. The Thunder had him running the point at the end of games. You are so clueless regarding the game of basketball it is farsical.It's almost as the Kevin Martin comparison.

Title: Role reversal: As Howard sacrifices minutes for wins, Bryant cripples Lakers' future
Excerpt: Head coach Kevin McHale opted to ride the hot hands, leaving Howard and Jeremy Lin on the bench as the Rockets put away the Grizzlies with a 38-23 burst. Most impressively, neither star seemed bothered at all. Howard, in particular, was routinely the first one off the Houston bench to high-five his teammates and encourage Asik (his own replacement) to keep up the good work.

Reflected in this article from Clutchfans, both Howard and Lin are regarded as star
