    You can't really blame SVG, tho. Only the elite coaches like Bickerstaff can truly harness DMo's capabilities.

    Neither realizes you need to build your WHOLE offense around dmo. He'll be a double double guy every night (25 points, 10 box-outs).

    Rockets win despite setting record for futility

    The Rockets defeated the Pelicans despite making only three of their 34 three-point field-goal attempts on Wednesday night. Houston became the first team to make fewer than 10 percent of its three-point attempts with at least 30 shots from beyond the arc since the league instituted the three-point field goal in 1979. Prior to Wednesday, 1,939 teams attempted 30 or more shots from three-point range in a game and the lowest percentage made among those teams was 12.9 percent by the Mavericks on November 26, 2014 and 76ers on December 10, 2015 (both teams were 4-for-31).

    Thats my biggest question on Morey. Why didnt he get us some elite shooters when the system is highly rely on 3 pointers.

    Yes! He takes far too many 3's, is a ball hog, plays good defense when it suits him, and needs to be traded along with Jones for a couple great forwards who can shoot AND play defense consistently. No big stars want to play with ball hog Harden.

    Amen

    It's like we're supposed to be an elite marksman SWAT team
    but we hire guys trained in hand-to-hand combat.
