Thanks for the call dk, I can sense your frustration. I can tell you something that isn't frustrating Houston, and that's having people over to watch game 2 of these playoffs and not having to worry about what to feed everybody. You may be wondering how that's possible, but when you let Los Cucos cater your next event, you'll see that even the impossible, can sometimes be possible. Whether it be their enchiladas, tacos, flautas...they'll even bring over the margarita machine to make sure you don't have to watch that bloodbath sober. Call Los Cucos and let'em know that Lance Z sent you.
One positive about this season is that it should be clear where the chemistry issues lie and who needs to be shipped off.
The worst thing about Dwight Howard is he is mailing it in quite a bit. No extra effort on a loose ball that flies just past his head or within his reach.

Dwight still thinks he's a superstar despite not being able to play like one and that can take down any team quickly. In his head he's still the same player and he thinks people just aren't giving him touches so he doesn't play D, he mopes, he argues and he says it's due to others agendas of not wanting to give him the ball when really he just can't accept he is no longer the player he used to be. He doesn't play the right way watching the Thunder bigs eagerly set picks for Durant and Westbrook sucks. They want to set picks for them so quickly that both bigs often mistakenly try to the same pick at the same time. Not Howard he mopes if he has to set a pick, he mopes if you don't get ball to him even if he is in a bad position he mopes. I can't wait til he's gone.
buncha spoiled brat millionaires who are used to be placated at every turn.... let 'em try to work a REAL job and see how much their little petty differences matter... smh...
If this were the Lakers, the media would have understood this months ago, this team is spoiled, a bunch of spoiled children, all the way down to their coach. I do not know what is going on in the owners or general managers head at the moment, but I would have been flipped out on this organization and team. There is no fire I can discern of, there should have all ready been a boiling point all ready but they choose to be passive aggressive like a bunch of you know what b***es, This should not have dragged on this long into the season at the moment. The fact that there has been no boiling point says something.
Flaws have been there..post season success came.from facing a weak dallas team and clippers collapse..had no chance vs GS. Any other year they face OKC or SA in second round and thats all she wrote. Regular season success? Terry Prigs Smith Brewer Pat All FA needing to play well to get another deal. Now, Howard is in the same situation, but the difference is he wants a max, so you can't just be a good role player..need touches. And TJ completely lost it...dmo not 100%.. So the team is worse and not as motivated to play team ball.
I wonder. Did the chemistry issues actually start in game 6 clippers last year? Do you think that the comeback with hardens butt on tbe bench led to some locker room stuff like some folks talking crap about coming back cause harden was out? Maybe the crack in the foundation started then? Yea we won game 7 at home, but wow. Since that come back all told we are 43-46.
Dwight was the team cancer all along, huge ego. cant score, no post moves, no defense anymore. For god sakes this is what he was doing before the game instead of practicing freethrows or his jump hook, like he ever takes those. https://mobile.twitter.com/MarkBermanFox26/status/721403136498212865 No leadership, no drive, no true love for the game. Just a big body diva that wants attention and recognition, instead of playing to win. Good riddance if he leaves.
Unlikely given the fact that he played well game 7 and in game 1 and 2 in GS . Those first two games by harden at GS are probably the best of his career . Also remember Howard got hurt in game 1 of the GS series .
Wilbon will be eating his words after tomorrow's players only meeting. After that they'll have turned the corner.
You guys worry too much. It's really nothing. Last playoffs had several of this kind of games. And we went on to the WCF. We were hands down the second best team in the West, right? RIGHT?
In game 2 Harden ended the game by dribbling into a double team and turning the ball over. If that's an example of his best, then the Rockets are ****ed if they keep him as their superstar.
Harden and Howard deserve a lot of criticism for this season, how can you not put aside your differences and just play together? This is worrisome as players watch this unfold and come to the conclusion they do not want to play together with a guy like Harden.
Maybe James Harden is reliving this season over and over and over again. Maybe this is his 10,000,000th time reliving this same season. That would explain a lot of things.
