D-Ho past his prime already
I can see why the bobcats owner would think so.
but you can take it to the bank. Rockets will not get past round 1 without an injury to the opponent. and if Spurs keep playing ball squeaking past teams like the Nuggets, they will not smell round 3. Take it to the bank
Yeah your takes aren't worth carrying around the corner.I can see why the bobcats owner would think so.

honestly? dwight would either need a super stack team or someone like lebron, prime kobe, pierce, dirk or wade.
i'm glad that most of you agree me though. the rockets will be a contender in the playoffs, but dwight and harden duo are not good enough to win it all.
I'm not going to bump this everytime Howard has a bad game. He didn't had a bad game against the Clippers when I created this thread.
As a fan of the game for so long, I or most fans can tell if certain talents can win a championship. Dwight is ana amzing talent even at 80% but his ship has sailed in Orlando. Unfortunately for him, he never had the right group of players to help him win a le, whether its Rashard, Gilbert or Vince.
Harden is elite, sure, but I can't see him elevating his game on both ends of the floor. The formula for championship 1-2 duo has always been the same and it's not going to change now.
Dwight is a liability on offense and Harden is a one trick pony.
Well, he did reach the NBA finals with those two as arguably his best teammates.
Can't agree more on this one, bro. Chandler is decent though. Just like I said many times, this current rockets team ain't much better than the 05-09 team led by T-Mac and that 7'6 piece of , and the old Rockets only won the 1st round once in 09 against probably the worst playoff team that year (blazers) when that team was actually led by MWP
Rin is an atrocious scrub and it's fair to say it was his yellow skin that earned him a Harvard degree and a job in NBA tbh.
truth bombs ma
i just had to
^ Nash with the veteran bear hug play
.
Still the rockets deserved to lose. Now they can trade Asik.
i'm wondering if mchale is just a bad coach, their defence looks all over the place.. he's a really likeable guy though
Asik for Hawes in some form. About the best they can do. Maybe they can get more if they throw in Parsons.
but how was supposed to guard blake? is it again... Rin? But dude was too busy cuddling Nash at the moment, which must have torn apart Chandler Parsons's heart tbh
Houston's problems in order of priority:
1. McHale
2. Lin
3. See 1
Kevin couldn't coach little league. If the Rockets are serious, they need to get a real coach who runs a real system. That hybrid SSOL Kevin is trying to run with Howard on the floor has been shown to be ineffective against even decent defenses. Big like Howard and Asik cannot occupy the same space in that system. They could work a half court offense much better, slow it down and get good looks. The problem is that Howard cannot hit a ing FT, and so he's a poor choice for any post work because he's stoppable, unlike Shaq was.
The reason I don't call Howard a problem is because he's a known quality, and you just have to know where and how to apply it.
Time will tell if Houston gets their together, but that stuff they are doing right now isn't even basketball.
Harden has been artificially injected into the elite class of players, but the fact you can say "not on the defensive end" means he's not elite. Elite players play on both ends of the floor. A prime KG was a beast on both ends. Same for Duncan, same for Kobe, same for Lebron, same for Michael. These ing volume shooters are not elite players. They are elite shooters, good ball handlers, make ok decisions on offense sometimes, but the league is so ing watered down by chuckers that a non defending shooter is consider elite these days.
This is because of the video game mentality where players are expected to emulate stuff on video games. fundamentals when you're on a hot streak, right?
Case in point: The post game is a dying art because of monkeys who just prefer to jump over people and spear-chuck threes. Few players invest work and time on a post game, and guess what, these are the league's elites and champions.
Not sure who to blame on that play, if it's either Howard or Beverley, but still the 3-time defensive player of the year showing he only knows ing balls and that his team will lose if Lakers hit a three. Or perhaps, he didn't know the latter.^ Nash with the veteran bear hug play

Funny you say "video game" because NBA 2K14 is even more of a chucker's paradise than it's predecessor, and it rewards solid defense with endless offensive put backs.
