    I basically always have respected Webber and he's absolutely right here. We need to have an offensive system that finds Howard and Lawson easy baskets. Harden can always get his. If all other options fail THEN Harden can go iso.

    When you see a ghetto kid who is smart just heading down the wrong path, you talk to him tell him" he has potential." Then you see the kid who had potential but wasted it because of mixed priorities.
    I wonder which one Webber means for the Rockets. Either one, as a fan, I'm not mad.
    Appreciate that someone is paying attention to "the system and the players." Rather than just the "no defense Harden, and heartless Howard."

    No bro, it's the fact that a non-Clutchfan said it. He can't get away with it.

    For some reason I think it would be pretty simple to start integrating Lawson properly into the offense.. Make him the 40% ball handler and force Harden to spot up and shoot when Lawson has the ball. Also include Dwight in there, he's not too bad spotting up. When we played the Spurs I saw multiple times where Beverley forced Harden to play off the ball.. and guess what? We had a pretty good shot winning.

    If this team wants to play "professional" pick up basketball then you need to start including your second best player (Dwight) on the offensive end, heck I know when I play basketball if you're going to hog the ball for 90% of the possessions whats the point of me running the floor every single time down court?

    Webber's only telling the truth, this current team has way under achieved, we finally have a team with talent and somehow we lost the drive and motivation to win. Weird....

    Not a fan of Bickerstaff and Finch. The whole offensive and defensive coordinator is a decent idea except we should have gotten better coordinators. We should have kept Mchale and got better assistants for him.

    Webber is one of the most articulate and well spoken NBA analysts/ commentators around

    Everything he says is absolutely right and he is 95% right most of the time

    My favorite commentator to listen to

    It seems to me these guys are still upset at their buddy Mchale getting canned. So to make it up, every time we fail the world collapses and we're the worst thing to happen to the NBA.

    We're currently .500 and I believe 7th or 8th in the west with 3/4th of the season to go. How in the hell are we a bigger disappointment than a team with 1 win? Lol. Webber is a pos. I don't recall any of the pundits picking us to do anything but now we're the biggest disappointment? FOH

    There are only 50 games left we are almost halfway through the season.

    Webber is right.

    He is right. And it starts and ends with Harden and (to a lesser degree) Howard. And if our coaching staff does not manage to get the best out of our group of players given their level of talent, then we need to change our coaching staff. It never made sense to me that when you have just about the worst defense in the league, you promote the defense coach - who has no proven track record in the league - to head coach. Never made any sense.

    Webber likes the Rockets, and he is clearly unhappy to see what is going on in Houston.

    What exactly makes him an ass?? If anything, this means he expected MORE out of us than he did those other teams.

    The truth hurts, but that doesn't make it less true. We have the talent to compete at an elite level, so why aren't we?
