Ibaka is the best defensive PF in the league and his offense is improving.

wasnt a politically correct statement i made. i meant as long as morris doesnt have to defend a high scoring pf, he'll be ok. i know serge is a beast on defense but uhh...morris still had one of hsi best games in his career

looking at his game log, this is actually his best game of his career stat wise
-first 20pt game
-ties career high in 3pts made
-9-14 shooting most fgs made and ties most fga
-only 1 turnover and 2-2fts. most efficient game he had

all that vs serge iblaka! i didnt pay much attention to this game, dunno what serge was doing

Hmm, you were right with both your wishes. Martin had 19. :-? Too bad you didn't wish for a Rockets win.

One question, I said that the coach McHale was the worst of the last two games of Houston
With a better coach, Houston would have won the last two games for me
So what is more important to the Houston now, hire a coach best or 1 experienced player to be the team leader?

McHale isn't the problem... Firing him now and searching for a replacement will only make us tank this season.

Don't mean to nitpicky after a loss against one of the best teams in this league, but something needs to be done at the PF spot. Morris/Patterson may be able to stretch the floor, but as PFs both of them are terrible terrible rebounders. Team was outrebounded by a differential of 15. At the 4 this team needs someone who can stretch the floor and get boards.

I'm hoping that D-Mo can be that guy.

our 4 is gonna be weak at rebounding all season unless a trade goes through. just need our pfs to keep scoring to compensate for their lack of rebounding. that and asik dominating hte boards.

we got jones, dmo, and maybe even white as our future pfs. one of them gotta pan out
