    Get a new coach and see if that makes a difference.
    With Mchale, this team ain't gonna realise its full potential.

    When Harden & Howard signed, I'm sure they were each promised favoritism & preferential treatment, something that I'm sure McHale was / is on. If the Rockets got a new coach & changes that, then what? You are going to have a problem because one or both might quit on the team.

    You have two stars that are supposed to be the "best at their position".

    If thats the case than that is complete nonsense. Outside of Parsons and maybe TJ now they just have a terrible supporting cast. This 3rd star bs is so stupid.

    Love Lowry and dragic but

    Dragic is a 15/7 next to Bledsoe (dragic as a #2 option) Bledsoe is done for the season

    Lowry was a 10/6 guy when gay was there(Lowry was the 4th option) take ball hog gay of the team=Lowry blowing up

    Lin will finish 14/4.5 by the end of the season as the rockets 4th option(not bad)

    Kobe won't play in the all-star game, so dragic will probably replace him

    Lowry should have made it over jj

    That's not true. Dragic was never #2 option with Bledsoe & Dragic scored:

    17 ppg in November
    19 ppg in December
    22 ppg in January

    Bledsoe played the whole month of December, missed 6 games in November & missed all games in January.

    Man I miss Dragic. That guy was a fire in him. One of those "everywhere" players, all over the court.

    Happy for them sure. but sick of how things played out for them here in htown. Also, i see the trend continuing w/ Lin, so I'm not too thrilled. What is it with this team and PGs?

    Considering Dragic averages only 6 assists, how does averages 7 assists as second option?

    Parsons is another player who is going to want out of here... if the ball gets too sticky for his liking in the future...

    thats too bad because he is one of the glue guys for your team...

    get a superstar, that Howard and Harden will follow... and this team will go far

    dont get a superstar and this team will have 50 win seasons but be playoff fodder

    My fault he was avg. 17/6 next to Bledsoe in 21 games

    Dragic will fall down to his avg

    Lowry is the perfect PG for this team

    Better defender than bev

    Better 3pt shooter than bev and Lin

    And doesn't turn the ball over

    Damn u mchale

    Count off the two games in which Goran had to be helped of the court because of an injury and you get:

    19 games 18,9 4,8 3,6

    And if Bledsoe comes back, that's the production you can expect of him.

    People wanted Alston gone every year he was here. Heck our FO was trying to trade him every year we had him. Remember all those PG's we brought in? Somehow Alston outperformed them all and stuck with us until we traded him to Orlando. Also, which Mike James are we talking about, his first really good stint or his second really, really bad one?

    Beverly is a more than adequate pg. And Lin is a nice player off the bench. Plus AB is incredible insurance. We are okay at the PG position as long as we get strong production out of the other 4 positions. Dwight's got to play better. We need a backup center. Jones is improving every game, and so is DMo. We've got to start defending the perimeter better, and stop turning the ball over. We also need to add a strong 2/3 shooter because Garcia's not getting it done. While Casspi is certainly outplaying his minimum contract, he's not exactly a spacing 4, he's more of a slow 3.

    I miss both Lowry and Dragic. I think they would have played incredibly well together. But our pg situation is far from dire.

    Brooks getting Garcia's minutes has already been proven to be a big plus. For a team that is so reliant on the 3 pt shot you need to play a 42% 3pt shooter. Not much is lost on defense, Garcia can't defend.

    Fouling is a type of defense, but Garcia is bad at that too. :p

    Right, just because Lowry & Dragic are All-Star snubs doesn't mean Lin is worthless.
