bububut the Rockets already look better after firing McHale. :mjpls:
They're playing much better defense at the moment. J.B. just needs to go back to Harden-ball until Motiejunas returns. Unless they're hitting shots which they've not done all season long they have no chance of winning games when he doesn't go off for 40.

I watched parts of the game and he tried to get teammates involved but they missed everything. I think they'll be fine once Beverley and D-Mo return. I'm starting to worry about Harden's 3 ball though. 1-7 tonight. :scust:

That shyt would go in & out:pachaha:

OKC has just as much talent, on paper. It could get pretty ugly in OKC soon. Something is definitely off there.

:dahell: Did people really expect us to just start killing teams? We brought in a damn near whole new coaching staff & had KD coming in trying to get his wind back & play with the guys we traded for last year for the first time in real games. It was going to be an adjustment period anyway & then KD went down again right after he finally started looking like himself.

Our biggest problems this year so far have been defense, turnovers, & limiting fouls. That stuff can be worked on as the season goes on.

Let's not act like Westbrook isn't playing with an "average team" either.
nikka weren't they your pick for the 'chip this season? :what:

Besides you don't give Harden passes despite a broken down & flawed Dwight Howard being the only truly above average player on his team. Unless you don't think Jones, Ariza, Beverley & the corpse of Jason Terry are anything but average.

1b with Warriors. When Durant (or Westbrook) isn't playing, they're an average team.

Why should I give him passes when he played with an elite defensive team - which was the MAIN reason for why yall won games.

They're still a great team when KD only plays. They're definitely average with only Westbrook out there though. That I agree with.

They weren't 6th in defensive efficiency excellent obviously but nothing particularly special.

adams/ibaka missing easy looks all game doesn't help. they got good close range shots and yet couldn't get them in and haven't been able to in recent games. frustrating to watch those fools out there at time because they just don't finish off plays.

waiters defense was good tonight though. he really hustled.
