    Clutch can you do everyone a favor and lock and/or combine the "What's wrong with Harden" /James Frauden threads. Media guys visit this site and use it as a sampling of rocket fan trends in general. It's a shame that garbage is anywhere near the front page. Please:p

    Not sure if it was mentioned, but Howard is the 2nd player in Rockets history to go perfect on field goals with 10 attempts or above.

    1st player was Yao's 12/12 against Heat on Jan 7 2009. According to sohu.com.

    Congratulation to Howard and the win.

    Yeesh, we look terrible. We wanted a PG that could help Harden in creating shots, Harden is having a terrible game and yet we just let him dribble it into the ground to jack up a 25 footer than has no chance of going in from the moment it leaves his hands in crunch time? What's the point of having Lawson here? I really thought he should have handled the rock almost every possession. When he gets a pick from James and the defense is super focused on James Ty had some great takes. I want to see that more often.

    Lol, did you miss the first game? That was supposed to be the wakeup call.

    I think his athleticism has declined a ton this year. I saw a couple of comments in this thread talking about how this is really close to "Orlando prime" Dwight and I couldn't disagree more. Orlando prime Dwight would have gotten like 30 and 20 against this team, we'd be able to go to him in crunch time and his head would be at the rim on those alley oops. Oh and he would have had a few blocks too.

    I think it's time to accept that we will never even come close to seeing that from Dwight anymore, but what he did tonight was great. A couple of nice finishes created by Ty, some timely rebound putbacks, and close to 50% FT shooting. A good defensive presence inside and some good rebounding too. If we can get 80-90% of this from Dwight every game we will be in fantastic shape at the C position. He doesn't need to be close to Orlando Dwight, just do what he did tonight and we'll be fine.

    We managed to get the job done. Got a long way to go. Dwight shouldn't sit out versus the Kings.

    I could be wrong but didn't Yao go perfect from the field against the Blazers in the playoffs ?

    23 pts , 14 boards of which 6 were O boards in 31 minutes. 100% FG% 10-10.

    Guys were there any questions?

    Guess who I'm talking about...


    Are we going to maybe stopping being incredible dill weeds when talking about that guy?

    Dwight should play in SAC I agree. That is a winnable game.

    The LAC game we will probably get smoked the way we are playing. I'd rather have a decent shot at splitting the b2b than likely going 0-2.

    No sir, mfastx. Respectfully disagree. Think of tie breakers at the end of the regular season. And how we stepped up against the Thunder. We can win 'em both. Dwight in the Clips game. We got the Kings game without him. It's a tough call though either way.

    Dwight is not Tim Duncan old, he can play two games in a row.

    A win is a win is a freaking win no matter how you did it or who you played to get it.

    Dang some of you people on here are a bunch of pansies. Complains about every freaking thing. The Magic are not some garbage team, they've been very competitive so far this season.

    That was a great freaking win so enjoy it PEOPLE!

    Dwight scored so well because none of those were post ups. I can't speak for all of us but for me I just want him to be a Deandre Jordan type of player. That's his game..
