Re: 1/14 - 1/20 Games Discussion Thread

I would have thought Harden was the perfect PnR wing player but to your back injury point, Dwight simply isn't as nimble as he was in Orlando. He isn't as fleet of foot. Dude is just like lead footed these days. I think Harden has realized Dwight isn't going to be that consistent PnR machine (ala Mailman, prime Amare) that's why Harden just iso's all the time.

Dwight puts up nice numbers but much like Carmelo Anthony, I just look at them both and think "meh". Even when they both have great games statistically, something is just missing.

I just don't see the consistent explosive Dwight like I did his first years with the Magic.

I think he has a point. But i still hate that rant cuz he uses it for like 95% of the teams in the league.

About howard. Hes prime, hes not going anywhere as a player. He most likely wont get better. And tbh this houston team acts like they dont know how to react having a center like him on there team. They try to do lobs, and that failed, they tried pnr for a quick minute and seem to have aboned it. I hate to say it, but im not sure if howard will make this team as good as they thought. But its still early so i could be wrong.

I think they have a coaching issue first of all. They never adjusted to him coming there because all they were used to was chucking and not playing defense.

That's why I said Chuck has a point but doesn't. He's looking at points of efficiency but contested jumpers never are, but those are the ones he uses to make his point.

Nick Young only got a game for throwing a punch that connected? **** I thought he'd get at least 5 with the way they freak out over stuff like that.

It definitely is a coaching issue.

They hardly run any plays, when they come out of a timeout you often just see the Harden Iso. they just freestyle it out there.

This team is so frustrating to watch. Pretty much are the definition of live and die by the three (and fastbreaks) and if they don't get that...they don't get anything.

I'm not sure there is a team that has a worse offense than the Rockets...sure they score a lot but it isn't because of getting easy baskets, cutting, screens, and designed plays...it is purely because they can get hot or just out run a team.

It doesn't even look like professional ball sometimes.

Open hand punch is actually not a punch.

Wizards don't look as bad as they used to.

But the Nets and Knicks look pretty bad at times. Could probably throw the Bulls in there as well.

Dwight's averages this year are almost exactly the same as last year.
