[Mr. E]

The Rockets have a chance to make a statement in this game.

I hope that everyone comes to play right out of the gate!


GO ROCKETS!!!

[LarsV8]

If we steal this one, we could easily start a seven game winning streak.

Go Rockets!

I want to see more brewer in this game and parsons on Redick. Dudley is more of a spot up shooter so Harden will have a easier time. You have to slow down Chris. Don't allow him to run around the court freely. Harass that flopper and get him out of his zone.

Beardman has a bruised foot. Day to Day.

That means instead of playing 40 minutes, he'll play 39.

^^lol

with harden drinking waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much of his "im the best motha f**kin player in the whole god daam world" juice, this is a perfect time to cut his minutes down, and let brewer get some action on the court.

brewer's defense is something this team needs right now. no need to worry about his 3pt shooting when there's 3 other guys on the court who can make 3s...as long as they making them in the actual game of course

and if bev isnt 100%, dont make him play and shoot more than he should. the earliest he should've been back is against the clippers.

We are still a young team with a 4-2 record.
Overall, I'm still excited about the season.
Even with mediocre defense game if we show up on the offensive end we can take this easy.
Yet, since our offense game is a suspect these days.
Containg C. Paul's ball handling should be our top priority.

It seems like the Rocket board along with the general board flip the script on Harden.
He's still a young player and needs a lot of guidance if he wants to reach a "real" superstar stardom.

We just have to find away to gel these talented players to work as a team and the coaches has to help them to get there.

But the more I think about it, it's not even the coaches fault.
I am blaming the NBA, the media and easily influced sheeple to hyping any players who can score 25 pts while not factoring serious flows in their fundamental basketball game.

If I was told repetely that I'm the second coming of Jordan by the fans, the media and received a max contract money as a 23 years old. I would most likely not going to listen to some scrub "hunch back looking", "the by gone era, 2nd fiddle, 6 man" who whines and screams like a lil girl at you, regardless if he is a coach or not. It's like giving the highst awards and the accolade to a budding employer and yelling and screaming at him to change his ways to get better.

That's why we need to be a lil more patient with our best scorer who plays for this hyper superstar glamorizing NBA.

I still think we have a great team and going to have at least 50 plus winning season just by talent alone and as soon as our max players buy into the coaches' system we are going places fellas.

most above average players, can put up 25 to 30 points in a game... just depends on how many shots its takes them to do it...

the script flipped... because I think most people are shocked at Hardens attitude, poor defence.... and his lack of accountability...

no one wants to cheer for another Melo or Tmac type player...

[Nebula1]

I want to see more brewer

I'd like to see Brewer play as well

[panarama]

adrenaLine, Ive got you man.

But the dude is obviously in pain so let's not too carried away with criticizing an injured player.

*Sorry Mod for crowding the game board with a lecture.* lol

Alright then!
Let's talk about what we should do tonight to destroy the flopcity and co.

[MaxRider]

you can't fix the problem overnight
even the heat big3 didn't win in their first year
it's just a regular season game
move on

[MKL]

Harden is a great player. His offensive stats are amazing. Harden just need to do a little less heroball and trust his teammates more.

[Freefloater]

Just talked to James Harden. Says he will see how he is feeling later on. Is having some issues with both feet.

[BaYBaller]

Max making the GT again?! Time for another loss

I have been saying since the preseason... Harden was playing too many minutes...and was gonna get hurt

id be freaking out if any of our players log that many minutes a game in the regular season

im thinking the reason why he has been playing such poor defence is at least because of the work load he has, and may very well be because he is injured...

(not too injured to call for iso's though.... ) but on a serious note if he is injured time to sit him down... and let him heal...

really if the Rox need Harden on the floor for 40 minutes a night in the regular season, then this team is not as good as we think it is...

[MKL]

that's cold, brah.

lol

[MKL]

I was saying in preseason, Harden averaged 38 minutes last season, and people were saying that's not going to happen again.

This season, Harden is averaging 39 minutes.

[kam_soluusar]

I didn't post pictures, that's why we lost.
