    Yea I guess, I dont have much experience either so I guess its a bit presumptuous of me to say haha. Someone else told me I think it was @hakeem94 that other fan bases were like this as well so idk.

    Exactly what I think. Last year we had that in Chris Paul. I think if we can get Jimmy Butler and one more solid piece we are good. But...i guess its some what doubtful at this point if we get another star.

    Its hilarious. At this point Ive just come to realize that people just dont like him, regardless of anytihng. They dont like his mannerisms and how he plays basketball and you see that leaking into their well lol "opinions"

    All true, but it's the coach's job to implement the plan. Can MDA show flexibility while maintaining discipline?

    You can laugh, but its really frustrating to see not one ounce of being thankful for the position we are in. People act like are the trash bin of the NBA in here in last place.

    Fertitta bullying him into that contract shows MDA has gone a tad senile, or at least soft.

    Maybe he was different when he was younger and wore that stache.

    I don't even think we're that far. Jimmy Butler would put us over the top without much else.

    I kinda agree with Mike , Dan and Tony ….. Having Harden in isolation is the best weapon in the entire league. Why not run it every time down and dare teams to beat it.

    That said , I do think its ugly basketball.

    We were in the championship hunt because of one person’s will to win nothing but that person will. We played like a high school team and even deferred to Melo at the start of last year because he was the most vocal. Harden gets into the second round and then we want to change it all up. We got beat like the same high school team in the last game. Now some are pouting they need there way and here we go yet again.

    we havent gotten to the finals with harden running the same $hit we been running. that info alone needs to spark some kinda change. we need more ball movement.

    I don't think this team is bad or a failure or needs to be blown up. But I think there are things that need to improve/change to win a chip, and it's not just about the bad luck of facing the warrirors.

    Worst case we were a pretty good playoff team for awhile. It's not the goal but it's not a failure.

    Accept …. they don't have a single 3 point shooting specialist on the roster.

    League average is what , 36% ….. of the regulars , only Tucker shot better than that (.377). House shot (.416) but missed half the damn season …. and didn't play well in the post season.

    James Ennis (.368) was the only other player to shoot better than .360 …. and he got dumped for luxury tax avoidance.

    Cant act like Harden was surrounded by sharpshooters …. he was surrounded by average shooters and they got average results.

    Hell half the season it was Harden and 4 dudes from the YMCA …. and he willed them to win after win.

    How'd Ryno work out ? ….

    They were really tough to beat when Ryno was shooting well …. then his shot disappeared into the void where lost socks and guitar picks go.

    You cant blame Ryno's lost shot on Harden …. he set him up for wide open looks time and again only to see them clank off the rim.

    More ball movement and bring in Tommy T as defensive coordinator/ linebackers coach. We're all set to RIB.

    Really ? ….

    Anderson's 3p percentage the last 3 years.

    16/17 Houston - .403
    17/18 Houston - .386
    18/19 Phx/Mia - .225

    I guess you don't remember guys constantly telling him to let it fly and stop passing up shots at the end of the year / playoffs.
    When he couldn't / wouldn't shoot against GSW he became unplayable …. that's why he got dumped to Phx.
