Rockets: Have the Rockets fluked into a better team

[Clipper Nation]

IF Ariza can keep it up, he may have morphed into giving us our Big Three by complete accident. Add three point shooting specialist JET and do everything Papanikolaou and you have a solid core to do some damage in the post season.

If your "Big Three" includes James Harden and Trevor Ariza, you don't really have a Big Three.

Harden just had double digit assists last night for the second time. Not sure why people think he doesn't distribute the ball tbh. His problem was defense and right now it's shooting.

Playoffs.
2013 per game ave.
40 min
39% fg
19 shots per game, not counting his food stamps free throws.
4.5 assists

2014
43 min
37% fg 29% treys
22 shots a game
5.8 assists

These are Kirby Bryant type stats.
Do not reflect ball distribution.

Pretty much

replacing Parsons with Ariza seems to have benefited them a bit imho. With that said, Parsons could be the ideal type of stretch 4 playing next to DH but McHale had never figured it out.

Jeezus I don't know who's posts are more boring to read, yours or Sean Cagney

Harden is driving and kicking much more this season. When he plays smart like this, its hard not to think of him as a top5 player in the game. Only thing stopping them is McHale and bench

Especially factoring in his blistering 39% FG and 31% from 3

Lebron, Durant, AD, Westbrook, Griffin, Howard, Curry, Aldridge, Love, Bosh....

Top 5?

Fat Gasol, Dirk, etc etc

Trading Lin fluked them into a better team tbh.

I always got the impression that the Rockets were more concerned about not losing the Chinese fan base tbh. BTW not a good time for the Chinese to switch to the Lakers. They jump back or have they already?

Bosh on Inside the NBA:

"How close were you to going to Houston?"

"Uhhh....not really."

It was Yao's legacy that kept chinese fans on board for them from 09 through 13 imho, but even when Yao was in his prime there were still a lot of Lakers fans in China. So I don't think the trade had made any significant difference. Lakers and Lockets have always had the biggest fan bases in China tbh.

Exactly. That's pretty much why they still have those commie uniforms.

Parsons would get bullied in the paint. He doesn't have the frame to guard PFs.

Peaking at the right time grat's Houston....

[djohn2oo8]

Beverley should be coming back soon. Jones looks to be out a while.

1st round exit

I love the random side of this post

[SPM]

Are notorious playoff chokers Dwight and Harden still leading the way? First round exit

[ImDaNuts]

Can't even compete vs the 76ers

The weakest spot on the Rockets is on the Beard and Coward heads. I don't trust in a team wich relies in this duo of heads.
