    give a real coach this roster and i think the results would be different. our decisions and strategy on both ends is just plain stupid possession after possession

    I think this just sums it up. Houston just isn't a very good team. IF they make the playoffs they will be bounced in the first

    Howard was one of the worst players on the defensive side of the ball tonight. Vucevic Killed him and he was caught at the 3pt line over and over tonight

    Agree on getting back on your feet. Disagree about a "great" game...12/7 isn't good. In fact, Ariza, despite his horrific play, got 8 rebounds.

    Did we see TJ and/or DMo at ALL in the 2nd half? TJ was playing well and DMo wasn't bad -- don't really get that.

    Bev was on Fournier not Lawson, Lawson was on Victor

    We need a coach with some nuts...

    Someone who will get in the face of our players as needed...

    AND someone who will not allow themselves to be tied to Morey's 3ball philosophy...

    turn 2 of our 22 missed 3pointers into made layups and we win...

    I do think a better coach could get more out of this roster(especially defensively), but I still think we're expecting too much. This is at best a lower seeded playoff team that's likely to get bounced in Round 1. I thought coming into the season they had as much talent as any Rockets team in the history of the franchise, but clearly some of these guys just aren't very good basketball players.

    Yeah, meant offense. But even that's mainly dunks and not post ups.

    yeah I don't understand why DMO/TJ didn't get more playing time in this game after a decent start to it

    Bickerstaff livid. Looked like Harden was held by Oladipo coming around toward the ball for a final shot. Magic win, 104-101.

    we still had a timeout. when JB saw harden being held (like all of us did) and the play breaking down, why didn't he use that timeout?

    Missing that many 3 pointers between Beverly and Ariza destroys the Rox attempt at playing solid defense. How on earth can you especially in transition with a team like Orlando and darn near the rest of the NBA. If these guys can't make 3 pointers don't shoot them!

    at this point now, ya, the team is a mess. ideally we should have hired a new coach right after the GS series.
