    how is this guy still in the league. He brings nothing to the table and the offense is going 4 against 5 since no one guards MCW.

    If MCW plays against the Warriors, we'll be going 4 against 8 on the court!

    First of all MCWs game has to be slashing off the pick n roll and off the ball cutting plus crashing the offensive boards.Its clear that MDA has not figured out how to use the new guys. Its throwing the whole team off. Notice Eric Gordon is not getting the type of shots he was before,Capela is playing soft

    Well, guess we are going to see a lot of MCW now that CP3 is going to get suspensed for a long time

    This isn’t about MCW. The whole team hasn’t looked good. He didn’t play at all in the second half of the Lakers game and the Rockets still didn’t look good and barely beat a team that may not even make the playoffs. They have a lot of issues to iron out beyond MCW.

    I agree he can still can be useful for this team but has to be used in the right way. I think getting injured and sitting out those last couple of preseason games hurt him because he was in a good rhythm and playing well.

    he can't play with harden.

    when harden is out there without cp3, the offense is going through harden, so MCW has to play off ball, but the problem is MCW is one of the worst 3 point shooting guards ever, so teams sag off him and it kills the rockets spacing and offensive rhythm.

    IF, you're going to play him the only rotation that works is MCW playing point with eric gordon playing off ball, but i don't feel comfortable with cp3 and harden off the floor at the same time.

    I thought MCW could work without the shot, I don't know anymore. He has to be decisive in his movements if you're not going to be taking those shots. By the time he has made up his mind he isn't going to shoot the 3 it's too late.

    It’s good trade throw in money to make a trade work since it’s expiring.

    Good on dantoni for pulling him early. Michael would’ve kept him in. He was ruining our offense yesterday.

    Hmmm.... that kind of sucks, but if he's glued on the bench, he should consent. Acquired team will probably waive him in this scenario.

    Would be out of the league if the Rockets didn't throw him a lifeboat.
