    He has been on a steady incline in production and efficiency.
    There is nothing that indicates that he is going to decline next season.

    hahahaha... Lin fans don't know he's an average NBA player.... hahahahahahaha

    When the MVP of the league, Kevin Durant, starts making snide comments about how Lin should have started over Thabo Sefolosha... gimme a call. hahahahahaha

    I've been a Rocket fan since 6th grade. I'm 22 now. I've never really cared about posting comments until recently, but I've kept up with Clutchfans for several years. Thanks.

    I think Bev heard about Lowry being the 4th option.



    Bev knows he can let that happen, he immediately started to try to recruit Lebron, Melo abd Bosh

    It would be so cool if everyone would shut up for one week. We will not know anything before July 1 that we don't know now.

    LBJ!!! All the way. Even if others don't want him.... Even if he's out of position... Even if it means releasing all trade assets. Even if you have to give James Harden... LBJ + Howard combo is enough. Of course if you can retain JH then it's better. It's like having Heat team all over again but younger. You just have to fill-in the blanks.

    Their games are nothing alike. Melo has a great pullup and turnaround jumper. He is a better finisher in the paint.

    Harden is a better passer and long range shooter.

    "There are no options. We're all about getting stops"

    Does he mean defensive stops? If so, that would be a weird way to answer a question about offensive options. And, it would be funny because defensive stops is not what our team has been all about.

    I, personally, would much prefer Harden over Melo. The strengths of their games are pretty similar, they both are great offensive players and like to have the ball in their hands, and both are questionable defenders. Harden is younger and cheaper. Plus, Harden-Parsons-James is better than Parsons-Anthony-James. That would be trying to play 3 SF's across three positions?

    However, I think Lebron would prefer to play with Anthony over Harden. That may not be true, but that is at least the way the media would have you think. The only way we would even think about trading Harden would be if we knew that Lebron was going to come only if we could get Melo.

    I think that might be an insight / hint at what the Rockets players and MO Numero Uno is this off season: D-E-F-E-N-S-E.

    I got really excited when I heard that. If this whole team completely redefines themselves, dedicates themselves to defense, then we are unstoppable.

    Actually Melo is a better shooter than Harden. He shot 40% from the 3 last season. Melo just doesn't get as many foul calls and doesn't pass as well especially if he gets going to the rim.

    Do you guys think LBJ could get Harden to play defense?
