    Not going to happen Coach, Ariza's defense is very essential to the starting lineup.

    Good to see us win convincingly. We should be able to develop chemistry in the next few games.
    Go Houston Rockets! Happy New Year to all on ClutchFans.

    Dwight probly gets on Josh Smith about his shooting and stuff but im sure both of them have fun when they're on the court together.

    Good win after two losses, but not overly impressive. Charlotte is a bottom half Eastern Conf. team. Would tonight's effort have beaten a Western Conf. playoff team? Questionable. But the W is good to have. Well need to play better at New Orleans on Friday.

    I think that McHale should start D-Mo and have Smith come off the bench. Smith still looks lackluster on offense.

    Going by the stats, the first half points and the love for Harden my guess is Harden saved our asses from embarrassment again or am I wrong here?

    After tonight's Herculean shooting performance, Harden's stats have risen to...

    .441% FG
    .361% 3PT


    While averaging 7rebs/7asts... and very good defense.

    Wasn't too long ago Beard was under 39%-FG and 30%-3PT

    #surging



    Keep it up, playa.

    why was harden still in the game for the last 2 minutes? What if he had landed on his defender's foot and sprained his ankle. Kinda stupid to me for mchale to leave him in.

    I could've swear I thought D12 got 6 blocks the moment i looked at the boxscore. Then I looked again it was the T/O column next to it. Damn Dwight! get it together will ya!

    Well, we didn't play particularly well, but it's always good to get a win while still working out some kinks.

    Some of the biggest things I noticed today is that we still need to figure out how to work Smith into the starting lineup offensively. He is great defensively, but either we aren't putting him in the right positions to score or he isn't putting himself in the right positions.

    Smith shouldn't get the ball too often on the perimeter. And when he does, he either needs to run P&R with Dwight or just go straight to the rim. Most of his offense should come from duck ins, cuts to the basket off the ball, and on the fastbreak. If he ever learns how to do that we will have a fantastic starting lineup.

    Howard still doesn't look good at all really but I won't complain too much, I'd just like to see him be a little more active in future games.
