Isn't it nice having multiple playmakers?

    Here is the issue.
    WHO ARE OUR PLAYMAKERS

    Esp in the 4th

    WALL - In the Forth. He gets the ball and it is all tunnel vision. I seriously and surprised when anyone else touches the ball. More often than not it seems he passes it to Cousins who passes it back to him. Then he going to drive or shoot the three. .. . . He is good at both but it is not much different than Harden's style except he is not as good at it.

    EGO - Not much different than Wall but strangely enough I think he is a more willing passer. Maybe to his detriment. He will get to the cup then pass it out for some reason for a worse shot. But there is not an amazing amount of ball movement here either.

    Olipido - Playmaker? I think I am stretching it here

    Who else is good with the Rocket and could run the offense?

    We have guys who can get their shot off sure, but playmakers? Zero.

    I assume playmaking only counts when the ball goes into the basket.

    The Rockets adjusted from a ball dominant dribble dribble dribble team with a star player to loveable losers who like to move the ball play defense and brick shots. Pretty obvious lol

    Look I’ve yet to see this mythical motion offense. All I see is Wall or Dipo iso ball and lots of threes

    Hey some people thought if harden bought in that this team is a championship team, they would have blamed him when it inevitably failed

    That was what Harden saw . . . . .
    If they did not win it all . .. .. Rocket Fans would lay 100% of the blame on him
    CP3 had a hamstring injury . . .. . and Rocket fans blame him for not winning against a team with 4 future hall of famers in their prime

    Alot of people were disappointed with CP3's play the following year
    where he was in and out most of the season . . . but it was Harden they blame for the failure
    Most rockets fans were ready for CP3 to go . . but then people got super hindsight

    I am truly unsure what Rockets Fans wanted from Harden . . .when EVERYTHING HERE WAS CHAMPIONSHIP OR HARDEN IS A SELFISH BUM!!!

    How about never having a legit #2 that wasn't trying to take over the team? Nod to CP's first season as a Rocket.

    Dwight did it. CP did it the 2nd season. Westbrook did it. John Wall was trying to prove he was still John Wall, not trying to prove he could fit next to Harden. And then it's Harden's fault he didn't drag a sabotager to glory??

    He's with 2 guys that have their accolades and money already and don't give a fk about "who's team it is".

    This is a legit issue you bring up.

    We won 65 games and was a hamstring away from the Finals
    Then CP3 decides we need MORE MORE MORE OF his style of play
    Chirping and Chirping . . . Then misses significant time . . . .
    If you look at it that way . .. yea. . . I'd be a little vexed with him
    What EXACTLY needed changing from Year 1 to Year 2
    OTHER THAN CP3 NOT BEING INJURED?!??!?!?!

    WALL - I see alot of TMAC in him . . .. .
    (I was of the mind that those team need MORE YAO and LESS MAC)
    Yet Mac was so busy trying to BE THE MAN that it came at the detriment of the team
    which is why the team was BETTER with the Lesser player (Artest) than with Mac

    Dwight wanted to play like he did in Orlando . . . AFTER a COMPLETE FAILURE in L.A.
    Then Injuries and simply not being as good as he was in Orlando
    and a Changing League

    Westbrook . .. Nuff Said
