    How bad is it when they are thinking they need to take out Dwight's minutes restriction against a team that has 7 players out.

    The rockets are not the Miami heat...they don't have an on switch. What you are seeing will likely be the result come playoff time unless they change things up fast.

    for all the apologists of this game, here's what the pelicans are missing

    PLAYER GP GS MIN PPG OFFR DEFR RPG APG SPG BPG TPG FPG A/TO PER
    Anthony Davis, PF 67 66 35.2 20.8 3.1 7.0 10.0 1.6 1.33 2.82 1.6 3.0 1.0 26.5
    Ryan Anderson, PF 22 14 36.1 19.8 3.0 3.5 6.5 0.8 0.45 0.32 0.9 2.1 0.9 18.9

    dont forget about their first backup center, jason smith.

    dwight and bev are obviously gonna be rusty, but there's no excuse for what they're doing. pelicans have their 2nd and 3rd team schooling the rockets. u gotta be one helluva delusional mug to make excuses for the way the game is going.

    Don't stress yourself.
    These millionaire's playing for the Rockets don't even care so why should I?

    Its unfair to pin a lack of effort on Mchale.

    That's on the players. Period.

    Agreed, if they lose HCA with what Portland has left and what we have left then that is a sign of bad things to come. Even against a Trailblazers team I think is the easiest matchup in the playoffs for us.

    Just saw the half time spread. The rockets will guaranteed win this game by 16 or more. Not worried at all.

    did austin rivers really improve this much or is it just a fluke?

    Not having Dwight available for starters' minutes while trying to win a game is apparently like being stuck between a "rock and a hard place" according to Murph.

    I guess so, if the rock and hard place are both missing their entire starting lineup.

    Its about the calls. The Blazers will have the edge with how strong they are coming into the playoffs if they are given HCA as well.

    We are not making excuses, but we could be a first round exit. I dont see us beating the spurs. Our ceiling is still the wcf. Our floor is first round exit.

    No excuses.

    It's both. Mchale has to hold the players accountable and tear them a new *******.
