more sad reporting on the Rockets here: http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2016/02/24/blogtable-more-likely-to-miss-playoffs-bulls-or-rockets/?cid=nbacomsocial_fb_sf21466162 an excerpt, there are six or seven more opinions at the link:
I feel like Memphis is still due for a nosedive, what with Gasol's injury and Green/Lee being traded away.
Hey guys, but isn't it fun to watch people rebuild! We can watch Morey draft an undersized PF or some other player who is between positions. Then Morey can puff up the stats on him and sell it like he's going to make an impact. Then we get to watch an awesome summer league and the vipers will get a great player. Then we can watch the young guys develop in garbage time and talk about their potential. Oh man, this is like old times guys. Who isn't excited? This is the best guys. Seriously, I can't wait to see Morey trade for the 14th pick and see who he gets.
On Draft Express we are projected to use a second round pick to get a SG/SF! The ultimate inbetween position! This will fix everything! http://www.nbadraft.net/players/michael-gbinije
more NBA.com reporting on the Rockets, in this case the Starters with a top 10 Rockets blooper reel: http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nba_tv/2016/02/25/20160224-starters-top-10-rockets-lowlights-2015-16.nba/ I thought about starting a new thread titled "Most Bad Plays of the Season" but didn't want to offend bobloblaw.
You can fire McHale, JBB, Morey, Dwight, Bev, Ariza, DMo, Thornton, KJ, Dekker, Harrel, Capela, Brewer, Terry, Smith, Jones and Lawson all you want, but it's not going to fix the problem. Can you guess what is the problem?
If by you you mean fans, then yes. Fans should be more vocal about their dissatisfaction with Harden, but they aren't. I think last season fans were more demonstrative to boo Rockets than they are this season.
If your talking about harden your delusional. JB is obviously the main reason we lose games. He's half a ****ing r****d who says we lose because we can't rebound but let's Corey get abused at PF for 3quarters People like you are the problem who go around blaming players for something that's obvious and that's JBs idiotic rotations and decision making Yeah James might turn it over but he's still putting up his stats but when your coach is a idiot it's kinda hard
It's amazing how many journalists are buying into this whole "lockerroom issues" narrative. Never mind that the team is making do with Ariza at the PF position most nights because currently the second best big after Howard is a 21 year old center slumping in his first full NBA season, and the backup backcourt is defensively challenged. Nah it's gotta be that they just don't like eachother.
Doesn't matter. Houston isn't taking care of their own business. 6-9 is open. Going up: Portland & Utah ("rebuilding" teams) Going down: Dallas & Houston (Dallas has already surpassed expectations & Houston...yeah)
NBA.com really piling it on. Here's another report on how the Rockets' defense dropped off so dramatically. NBA.com's John Schuhmann, breaks down the Houston Rockets defensive struggles. http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nba_tv/2016/02/25/20160225-gametime-schuhmann-rockets.nba/?cid=nbacomsocial_fb_sf21528113 I won't say that Schumann says we have the mostest regressed of any team . . . wouldn't want to upset bobloblaw.
