    Well, maybe McHale should thank me for the last win because I knew CP3 would have an injury in the GS-LAC game so he can miss the Rockets game. Maybe I know the secret to help the rockets to win more. See my prediction in the game thread in the NBA dish to prove my predication if you are interested in. :rolleyes:

    Inserting Thornton in the starting lineup helped. But it seems to me that in the last 2 games, Harden was more the focal point in the offense, a la last season. When Lawson was handling the ball more with Harden trying to play off the ball, he didn't seem to have as good a rhythm. The comment by Bullard was about Harden having gotten his rhythm back. That's what he rolled his eyes at, as far as I recall. Transitioning to where Lawson and Harden find their rhythm together is a work in progress. Harden just may have to have the ball in his hands more to have a rhythm.

    Playing harder can also be a euphemism for focus. The Rockets definitely seemed lacking in that department in their first 3 games.

    Brewer, still has yet to have a consistent game at the level he was playing at last season.

    Someone blamed Thibs for Derek Rose and said he would drain our guys. Meanwhile Harden and Ariza where both top five in minutes last year, lol.

    So you obviously don't watch the interactions of the assistant coaches with the players.

    People see what they want to see it seems.

    LOL. It's like we were thin on playmakers and wings last season. Thank goodness we got Brewer at the tradeline to bring Ariza's minutes down to 10th most.....

    But yea, Harden shouldn't be playing top ten minutes at the end of the season with Lawson, now that we have two good playmakers.

    Turn that ball over HARDER! Miss those free throws HARDER! Rush in with no plays or plans WITH ALL YOUR SOUL!

    Gotta admit, they really have embraced that.

    The stupid players forget to listen to Coach again. If only they had played harder, they wouldn't have lost to the crappy Nets.
