    Remember when we were saying that during the Melo chasing? Now its "we just don't have good role players that step up.."

    I WONDER WHY.

    You are a great poster, but this team was poorly developed.

    The Rockets had a shot to get guys like Anthony Morrow or Aaron Brooks for the minimum. Mo Williams or Jarret Jack for a second rounder.

    They have Dwight Howard and James Harden. Surround them with shooters.

    Go get Middleton and Milsap this off season and watch what happens.

    No more stars, just guys who can fill it up from outside. The clippers hit open shots. Rockets would be up 2-1 if they could remotely shoot.

    Hindsight is 20/20 and Morey and Les have stated it's championship or bust. We had a good shot at the top free agents last offseason, it didn't work out.

    You light a fire under his big behind and grill it.

    but the narrative shouldn't turn into "FA 2016!!!" ....its insane to keep doing something so obviously wrong...and wasting the prime years of our two stars.

    It doesn't happen in a vacuum, there are multiple teams going after the same players. Especially, players with experience on favorable contracts.

    FA 2016 is more a byproduct that the cap is exploding so there will be money, we need to bring the same team back, add another point guard (so terry can go back to being the backup 2g) and go from there, will we still have money for FA 2016? sure, everyone will

    Hope that we aren't losing 2 key rotation players entering the playoffs.

    Alexander has been a master architect with Yao and Tracy as well.

    I sure do not want to see another failure with the two star system.

    Lolz we are the second seed in most competitive conference ever in nba history. We are in the conference semi finals against a more talented team. Please stop being so stupid with your lack of context.

    Harden 's game is not built for the postseason. After three postseasons with us, this is proven.

    Morey needs to get another superstar who performs well in the postseason. Simple to say, hard to execute.

    Yeah Rockets play so dumb and stupid with a lack of coaching that they make other teams look "more talented"

    When you have two of the best players in their position and two top 10 players, I don't think talent or lack thereof can be an excuse

    If the goal was regular season wins and winning 1 playoff series sure, you would be right. I'm sorry I didn't get the memo about the metric for success changing. Would I be fine with it if we did lose but the flaws weren't so glaring....yea I would. Because we would have a chance at a championship. People like you need to get your head out of your behind at this point. You have inundated yourself in the ignorance and keep sipping that koolaid. The 07' Mavs were the #1 seed and won 67 games...I'm sure thats what they told themselves when they got beat by the warriors :rolleyes:. Christ, what a loser mentality you display.

    Runner up for MVP, pretty much the scoring leader, Dwight back in his Orlando form, a better bench than the clippers....no CP3 for the first two games and these losers bring out the "lack of talent" card. Is that really what some in our fanbase have been reduced to?

    Hindsight wasn't used to construct that post. Try again.

    The clippers have cp3, griffin, and deandre .... Where do they rank? I'm sorry, but the clippers are more talented and match up well with the rockets.
