    Harden needs more facilitating, not jacking up shots. Parsons needs to stop shooting. TJ - worthless. Daniels needs to shoot more. Lin needs play like he mad. Bev, only bright spot and plays like he gives a ****.

    Its disheartening that LMA has not been much of a factor and Blazers are still leading at half. They just look like the better team. Lillard been huge and Batum with a very good first half as well, making pretty boy Parsons look like a p***y chump.

    Memphis is up 2-1 against OKC. The West was always going to be close. This isn't vindication for your earlier posts. All 4 series are going to be close and these games have been down to the last 5 minutes both times.

    Why I'm I staying up when I have to be at work at 7 in the morning when I know we will most likely lose this game

    Parsons should have never said he was better than Batum. Batum has been eating him alive ever since.

    No lead is safe with the Rockets. I think they could lose a 30 point lead in three minutes. It is almost amazing. I don't think I have ever seen an NBA team that could give up leads quicker than this Rocket's team.

    Well at least they have slowed down LMA; now they are letting Lillard kill them.

    How many lay ups have the Rockets missed?

    Parsons and Harden - disgusting play, almost zero effort on defense and offense was almost non-existant

    Lin - had a few good players, some really bad ones too and there effort is there, he's just not that smart

    Howard - playing like a coward and if it took him this long to realise that pick and roll works, we have a problem

    Asik - came to play, doing very well, best rocket so far

    Beverley - came in red hot, but dealing with incompetent coach and low iq players means he cannot even get one open look in the 2nd quarter and that last play was dumb

    Daniels - did okay, cannot play defense and rushed his 2nd shot but needs to be in with a better line-up and for a guy willing to set a screen

    Jones - forcing it, D-Mo should get some playing time but that's what happens when you all of a sudden go with another starting lineup. He did hustle for the boards, gotta give him that

    McHale - terrible, just terrible, you cannot call a time-out sooner? You cannot hold Parsons and Harden accountable? You do not realise a line-up with Asik, Lin, Parsons, TJ & Daniels cannot work cause 4 out of 5 are bad defenders? You cannot use a defensive minded Garcia right now?

    Rondo would have ate lillards cookie. You guys didnt want to trade for a champion with heart. That is why the rockets will always be the rockets. They want guys like lin and parsons over dragic and rondo.

    Mchale will keep playing these guys making all these bad plays but he won't tolerate a guy like dmo's mistakes despite the positives he brings.

    I'm going to give this one more quarter. Keep me engaged rockets or I'm checking out again just like I'm game two. I like sleep more than I like ****ty basketball.

    Yes, DMo, Casspi, or Powell. Wasting away on the bench for whatever reason.

    I'm fine with him not liking his shooting form. Was the brick call necessary? Are we even rooting for the same team?

    Lopez was getting easy putbacks b/c Lin and Parsons wasn't guarding their man and the bigs have to rotate and help out.

    Parsons needs to come off the bench. Batum is lighting him up on both ends.

    Should be Bev, Daniels, Harden, Asik, and Howard.

    The Rockets got a lot of calls today in Portland. Something i didnt expect. Now they just need to go out and keep playing ball. They are getting quality shots at the rim.

    That's dumb. All I did was point out that Parsons has sucked as well. I've posted plenty of times about how much Lin is stinking up the join. Some of you need to get off your high horses.

    Parsons/Lin/Asik for Carmelo.

    Imagine Carmelo on our team right now...

    Twin Towers
    Carmelo
    Harden
    Beverley

    Pretty unstoppable.

    Yeah, has nothing to do with Asik missing easy lay-ups from nice passes or Parsons missing lay-ups and dunks for no reason.
