    1. Howard is not even faux top 10 player. He's not even faux top 30 player.

    2. We overachieved last season by every metric available. Our actual team stats were not as good as our season record and playoff achievement. Last year was our team's absolute ceiling, but many people, including Morey, thought this was the beginning of something great. This year, one could say we are under-performing a bit, but not by much. This team is just not good, even on paper. We don't have enough talent compared to real elite teams.

    So, while we deserve some of the flak from the media, the expectation for this team heading into the season was unrealistic and unfair to begin with.

    Translation: The Rockets suck and I'm resting for the 2nd round. I'm not about to get beat up by PBev, Ariza and the rest of the Rockets when they start getting frustrated.

    Can I just point out this terrible tidbit about coaching?

    KJ McDaniels per 36 stats in the last game:
    108 points!

    And we only play him for 1 minute?

    Granted, he had 36 fouls (per 36). So, there's that.

    That TNT thing that's showing "game not necessary." man if that don't piss you off as a player, nothing will. You're the biggest jokes of the nba right now. nobody respects you. not even your own fans. I just wanna see fight. lose man, that don't matter to me. We gonna lose anyways. BUT SHOW FIGHT! dive for loose balls, get physical, do whatever the eff you gotta do

    Bench Howard for Capela. Start DMo and Bring Beasley off the bench for him. Bring Josh Smith in to spell Capela. KJ needs to match up with Livingston. And lets see some Montrezl! Keep Brewer and Howard on the bench with TJ. That's my plan in order to give us a chance.

    Of course I expect to see too much Howard and Brew, bad offense too many jacked 3's, boneheaded plays by JBB out of time outs...

    Howard is obviously the problem here.
    Not a superstar.

    This difference is going to be night and day once Dwight leaves.

    I hope he gets paid to smile and be content with putting up stats while his teams rot in the playoffs.

    I really believed in Dwight and he's let us down.

    I'm feeling that. Especially the montrez part, really want to see more of him. But my only question would be, if Bogut manhandled Howard don't you think he would completely obliterate Capella?

    Ah yes, our bread and butter play, a Dwight Howard mid range fade-away.

    Seriously, da **** was that??? This is how they prepare for a playoff game, play horse in practice?

    JVG, where art thou?

    Harden does not have the mental makeup of a superstar either.

    He has otherwordly talent except for athleticism but he isn't the mentally toughest guy or the guy that works in the gym all the time.

    No, not at all. I expect Capela to give maximum effort on the defensive end. He'll fight more for rebounds, and not just settle for the ones that come right to him. We won't waste any time posting him up, allowing DMo to get more work in the paint. And Capela will not shy away from running out to the 3 point line to contest a shot. Everything else will fall into place around him. Pick and rolls, running the court, better rim protection, especially when Cap and Josh are in together. We could go 'Big' with Cap, Josh and Beasley too. Mix some DMo in there and Montrezl. Get the guards cutting and moving instead of camping at the 3...

    who knows...win...

    We are not in any Top 10 categories in the playoffs

    Offense, Defense, 3pt shot and so on

    maybe Turnovers!
