    Wizards actually have great shooters. Rockets hoist twice as many 3's and hit half as many.

    Oh and they don't play dumb 50% of the game either.

    It's depressing to think that this team went 8-3 in the 11 games he was out with the knee injury and are about to drop to 4-4 since his return. And it's not like the Rockets had an easy schedule when he wasn't playing. They beat the likes of the Mavs, Grizzlies, and Suns during that stretch.

    Rockets don't take care of the ball.


    It's so annoying to watch.

    The Rox downfall recently started when Dwight came back.

    They're 21-8. No shame losing to them, some of these mistakes by the Rockets though. My goodness. Since Smith came into the starting lineup the spacing has looked off and awkward.

    You don't insert a guy into the starting lineup without any practice on the 2nd day he is here...you ease him in off the bench with 4 players who know what to do, so he understands and learns.

    Inserting Josh Smith into the starting lineup has cost the Rockets 2 games already which we need to win to stay at the top of the conference.

    It is just flat out stupid, and probably something we promised Smith to sign here, also stupid.

    Put DMO back to starting spot. Smith needs to work his way in.

    Dwight is mentally weak and on the last segment of his career.

    48/44/90 Wizards

    44/26/59 Rockets

    You're not going to win with trash shooting like that.
