This game is huge for more than the season. There isn't turmoil with our core, but the friendships are a bit sour, allegedly. Jet is holding this team together right now. *If* the Rockets lose, be prepared for a certain Big to say that he hasn't been used correctly. It has been coming for awhile. Losing brings it all out publicly. I know most of you are tired of him, but CB is loved. He's had a bad series but he's here. I think that's a good thing to have an intense player, regardless of the score. Peace.
It's going to be Terrence jones. It has to be. Dwight has been putting up good numbers and is facing the only center more athletic than himself. So I doubt it's him. If it is Terrence then bye. We can package him with Pap, and ariza for a Wilson Chandler and Ty Lawson
Which big is that? Not Dwight I hope. They did ignore him at times in the post in Games 3 and 4, but he's also a disaster at the foul line. Do you feel safe throwing it into a guy who's shooting free throws worse than DeAndre Jordan in this series? As for Corey Brewer, I'm not tired of him. I'm disappointed in his performance this series(aside from Game 5), but I blame that in part on the entire team. Brewer is what he is. He's not a good shooter or playmaker in the half court. His strength is scoring in transition. But if you're unable to get any stops or you're bringing the game to a screeching halt with the Hack-a-Jordan strategy, his effectiveness will be limited.
If it's Dwight, he's right. He hasn't been used properly. I'm pretty sure he has posted up more than zero times.
Who's this Dorsey - doubt it. He started majority of the season. Dwight - doubt it. He missed majority of the season. But judging by his multiple faces during interviews it could be him. TJ - Possibly but he hasn't really lived up to his own expectations. Smoove - He's on borrowed time. DMO - He's out. Clint - Rookie - no say. So who could it be? Am I missing someone? -- edit it's Dwight
It's obviously not Dorsey. He hasn't been used at all in the playoffs(other than for intentional fouls or garbage time). It's not Clint. A 20 year-old rookie backup center ain't gonna be complaining about his role. D-Mo, obviously not. T-Jones and Smith, I doubt it's either of them since they've both played like crap most of the series. That leaves only Dwight and I can't imagine he was too happy after Games 3 and 4, although he did play poorly in the latter. You can't blame McHale for his foul trouble.
What happened to Dwight putting aside his ego, and letting Harden lead this team to the Promised Land?? What a damn shame, and waste of an epic season if everything comes crumbling down because of a bruised ego. Plz Dwert.
Well in defense of Dwight, Harden hasn't been leading this team to the promised land. He was terrific in Game 5 and the 4th quarter of Game 2, but otherwise he's been mediocre at best in this series. And BTW, that comeback in Game 2 that averted a sweep began with Harden on the bench with 4 fouls. We'll see what happens tonight. I imagine Dwight will get plenty of opportunities in the post in the 1st quarter. And Harden will look to be more aggressive from the opening tip. So if they do lose, I doubt it'll be because neither player got touches.
Please clutchfans, PLEASE, I'm begging you, don't start crushing Dwight based on a non-specific Codman post. He hasn't exactly batted 1.000 on his information to date (not insulting him, he seems like a good guy, not an attention w****) and he didn't even give a name.
Please . . . . Dwights been the best thing about this playoff season people need to actually WATCH the games Rocket River
You guys talking about a lot of silly stuff right now. ONE GAME! Rockets need just one game to extend the season! Game 6! Leggeaux!
You guys are dumb if you think it's anyone not named dwight. I'm sorry but this isnt the first time he's said this stuff and it won't be the last. When we win he's quite when we lose he says the same thing over and over. I love the guy buys he's full of himslef when it comes to his game. If he was so good in the post he would be able to recognize double teams and throw it out to open shooters. In his 11 years in the league he hasn't shown this. If he was so good in the post we wouldn't have been blown out in LA two games in a row. When harden shows up and Howard doesn't score big we win when it's the opposite it's a guarantee loss. BTW Im not saying dwight hasn't performed these playoffs but I just can't get behind dogging a player (harden) that's putting up 26 8 and 5 on 65% TS not to mentioned only been done by Larry freaking bird. It's like a double standard for our 25 year old franchise player. I get that expectations are high with him but why not raid the bar with Dwight who's w 30 year old vet he should be leading not complaining about post touchs.
ESPN's BPI gives the Rockets a 26% chance of winning tonight and FiveThirtyEight gives Rockets 32%...SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE!
