    Things are slowly starting to look better. My two complaints though:

    1) Stop playing Brewer. At least play Thornton ahead of him in the rotation.

    2) He needs to be on Ty harder to be aggressive and attack when he's in the game, regardless if Harden is with him or not. He needs to initiate the offense to give Harden a break.

    Agree on both fronts, especially the Thornton over Brewer part.

    Old man Terry attacks the basket more than Lawson.

    What gives Lawson?!

    JB at this point prob has drew up more plays and came up with more in-game adjustments than McHale ever did during his entire term as a Rockets headcoach

    It's a bit strange that we have to have another coach to help motivate players, I would assume that the players would be motivated by winning and getting higher paid contracts.

    Ball movement off the ball seems to be a pretty big issue when Harden is playing ISO but that definitely looks to be improving a bit.

    On defense it looks like we're still playing a zone, which is fine if we have the size for it and the perimeter players are able to collapse quickly. As much as I know I'll get flamed for this.. I'm still going to say it, I think the Rockets still need to include Howard into the offensive mix. Hopefully with Dmo coming back soon we can mix up the inside out plays a bit more just to keep the defense guessing.

    Dwight might not be our best post player but he definitely deserves some touches, if you continuously keep forcing the ball into Harden's hands eventually the rest of the team will just stand around and not move off the ball. It'd be nice to actually have an offense that's a bit more complicated than just a simple pick and roll...

    The only advantage is that Howard still draws doubles. Dwight needs to make his moves quicker too

    Typical talk radio guy yelling points, based almost assuredly entirely upon a coach's demeanor on the sidelines.

    Most 'coaching' is not actually done in games. That's what you don't know.
