    They're all knee jerk reactions from people who are 1) still pissed from the loss 2) Questioning their faith in McHale 3) Realizing all those good things people say about Lin may actually be right

    Any game where Harden has shot below 40%, the Rockets lose. This team lives and dies by Harden. All the other data is irrelevant. His usage rate on this team is the highest, he hoists the mosts shots and gets to shoot the last shots and the players who've killed us (Reddick, Meeks) were his defensive assignments.

    The point being... Harden right now, is a single point of failure. For the Rockets to win a game, either Harden has to bring his A game at both ends of the floor or the Rockets have to figure out a way to bring his usage rate down and have other viable options. End of story.

    Well considering how our PG is really Harden, I'm pretty thrilled as he's one of the best players in the league. We just need to get more players that fit with him.

    Does anyone have a general list of all of cyberx's leaks that came true?

    Everytime Harden avoids passing to an open Lin, I think of the first Miami game last season when Harden passes the ball to Lin with the game on the line, who eventually airballs the final 3 point shot. Don't know what Lin can do to get some alpha respect back from Harden.

    I love how your "Savior" is quickly turning into a "Cancer" in 6 games. Anyone with at least 1 eye would tell you how much of a drama king Howard is. Just look at how he left his 2 previous teams!

    I still do not believe this team is bad at lobbing, i just think the plays that McHale sets on offense makes it a lot harder to lob to a big man who pretty much only has a post game. How do you lob to someone who only wants to post and not run the floor? I know for a fact that Lin can lob - watch last year and when he was in the Knicks. Harden can lob too, so the problem is how the offense is set for Howard.

    Nathan Walker ‏@bbstats 35m

    So far the Rockets are 24.8 points per 100 better when Asik & Howard aren't together.

    Nathan Walker ‏@bbstats 28m

    Jeremy Lin leads the Rockets in True Shooting% , Assist%, and is 2nd in Steal%(of everyone playing at least PatBev/Brooks minutes).

    Nathan Walker ‏@bbstats 27m

    @jalnichols Dwight's ORTG is 102 on 24% usage. Asik's is 96 on 13.3% usage...that's terrible.

    Who cares what Dwight thinks, he should worry about his own pathetic play. I seriously hope the right person is calling the shots within the Rockets organisation and Harden and Howard are not considered more important than the team.

    still don't understand why Parsons handles the ball so much on this team. Dude is not a point forward.

    Morey is our gm. He doesn't manage based on emotions. He is the antithesis of Mchale.

    Don't really understand why he has a problem with the PGs. Not like they get to do much besides pass it off to Harden as soon as they can and stand in a corner.

    Howard and Harden have a much bigger impact on games than anyone else. Wish we could see how many points other teams have scored due to Harden's **** defense and **** Iso plays.

    The only person Howard should be mad at would be Harden.

    Rondo is one of the most ball-dominant PGs in the game. Why would you want him when Harden is our SG? Have you seen Rondo try to shoot 3pters?

    me neither. CF keeps saying that they need a spot up shooting PG deadly from downtown to pair with Harden. Rondo is a career 24%. They say they need a pass first PG. How is Rondo going to pass if he doesn't have the ball in his hands. Harden will demand for the ball, Rondo will refuse. Egos flair and you got yourself a dysfunctional locker room.

    I called it. We're gonna trade Dwight, not Asik.
