0-3 and on the edge of a steep cliff

This is true, but seeing possible teammates playing well, or emerging can certainly make a difference. For example Beasley, if scouts and agents start to believe that he has turned the corner as a viable starter, then that can make the Rockets more attractive.

it's funny because those 3 have the least effect on Rockets D. Smith DNP. Haren and an old guy.

 

I don't know if you've watched Harden this month but he's actually been pretty good defensively.

 

I hate this scrub team but I still expect a chance of beating anyone not named the Warriors.
These scrubs can go from opposite ends of the spectrum on any night so I expect we get some miraculous wins or embarrassing historical losses

 

This message is hidden because ISOBall is on your ignore list. :grin:

aww, you're A-1 in my book, ISOBall . . . you're alright.

 

Who knew that we would actually play worse since then?

 

3-5 in the last 8 games and, once gain, at the edge of a steep cliff...

 

Yep. Better call the exterminator because the cockroaches will be out in force for a while until they scurry back into the dark after the All-Star break.

 

If we are at the edge, should we solve things just by shoving Brewer off the cliff?

 

In other news,

The defending champions are 2-5 in last 7 games.

And from the Archives, on Jan 20th, 1994, Rockets lost their 4th in a row and were 1-5 in last 6 games.

 

How steep is the cliff we find ourselves on tonight ?

 

Doesn't really matter. This team will not sniff a championship.

 

We'll be fine ---- as long as we only face Phoenix, Dallas and Sacramento in the playoffs.

 

Cliff Paul has our back. Don't worry.

 

The Spurs came into Saturday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons with an opportunity. With the Houston Rockets having lost five straight without Chris Paul to relinquish their firm grasp on the top seed and the Golden State Warriors dropping one last night, the window is wide open for the mostly–healthy Spurs to get back in the race for home-court advantage.

Instead, the third-seeded Spurs continued their Jekyll-and-Hyde act on the road with another offensive stinker. The team that happens to be almost unbeatable at home this season just can’t seem to find an offensive rhythm away from the AT&T Center no matter the opponent or who’s available for either team.

Is this supposed to make us feel better about what’s going on? I will admit even after dropping all these stink pickles being atop the division and only one back in the loss column for the conference is good. But, I am concerned about the chemistry of this team. Ian this bump in the road just that. A bump, or has this adversity caused some cracks that will manifest in the nightmare that we was the 2015-16 season. Waving off and fist pumps of anger are concerning. Hopefully they were just heat of the moment. Hopefully CP3 has calmed Harden down and talked his head out of his rectal cavity so we can get back to dominating like we were.

 

Once we start winning again, everything will be chill.

 

cp3 needs to talk harden out of playing 41 minutes, 41 points, 10 assists a game with 40% from the arc and being the primary offensive option of this depleted line up with 2nd highest earner being a negative impact on both ends?

if we our 8-man rotation is at full force or if we had a 10+ man rotation like GSW/kerr and Spurs/Pops and $20M RA's living up to 75% of his contract and hitting his 3s we're unstoppable.

For the past 4 losses prior to the washington game,

RA's averaging 1.5 made 3s (33%) and less than 10 pts a game and less than 7 rebs per game
while Tucker's avging 1 made 3 a game (40%)
and LMA been out all 4 games

harden is averaging 41 mins, 41 pts, 40% from 3, 10 assists, 5 rebs per game but his decisions at the end of Boston game was real bad
Ego is averaging 23 pts a game, 40% from 3
32 year-old Ariza is averaging 42 mins a game, 37% from 3

and Paul & Cap only playing 1 of those 4 games separately

Weber & green getting minutes

Depth -> minimize fatigue -> minimize injuries -> injury insurance -> more weapons/options on offense -> more energy/options on defense
