    Man how did Howard, Lin, and Harden all get in foul trouble in the first half? The defense was pathetic also, but they got the Clippers again Saturday at home.

    2 of em! ? trynna say defense is why we won. Who's defense? Damn sure not yours. On a side note Parsons defense has fallen the ? off. Any of y'all remember how good of a defender he was his rookie year?

    Parsons needs to pick it up period...We need to let go of Jeremy Lin, he doesn't add anything to this team.

    Odd you would say that now when Lin has been playing the best ball since he got here. I'm not a lin fan at all but his shot improved, he played really good d on lillard yesterday. He's averaging 15 ppg on 53% shooting from the field and 42% three point shooting. I said before the year I thought he would play much better this year and he has

    He has been playing better, but I just don't see him fitting on the court with Harden, Howard, and Parsons. With this salary cap, its hard to pay your backup point 8 million a year.

    Tonight was big man. I'm not putting too much stock in one game but our defense and rotations were way tighter tonight. Again we stopped giving dwight the ball after a hot first quarter but we have so many shooters we have to. I was thinking who this team reminds me of and to be real were a poor man's version of the spurs. Any player can step up on any given night and we run our offense like clockwork. We aren't ? with SA or OKC yet but best believe we can grab the 3 seed. I know I know titangraph my bad

    I still don't like the fact that we cant seem to get into any type of offense late in games when when we need a bucket or need to slow it down. A lot of possession end on a bad turnover or a contested three.


    Dwight Howard has to be more aggressive in the paint and demand the ball but at the same time our guards and coach need to do a better job of making him a priority and get him involved.


    Terrance Jones has been balling and may have sewed up that vacant PF position. Omri Casspi has also been playing very well for us, that was an underrated pick up.

    So we asking for 2 first rounders for Omer lmao. Morey trollin but I think if we can get 1 that's getting flipped at the deadline along with Lin. Now that's only if AB and T Jones can keep it up and I'm not saying Lin isn't playing well or that ab is better but if we can flip him for a good player we will.

    Terrence Jones playing the way he has has given the Rockets the leverage again in regards to Omer.

    So asik is most likely gonna be moved by the 19th. We still want the lottery pick which I'm pretty sure will be moved at the deadline after we get more time to see what we do/don't need

    I think we need another PG. Beverley doesn't score enough for my liking.

    Disagree. Trust me I'm sick of seeing bev drive to the middle of the court only for nothing to happened time and time again but on THIS TEAM we need a player like him. We already don't have enough good perimeter defenders as is and he's a very good spot up 3pt shooter.
