Houston's got two other great players

Parsons is not "great" yet, or at least in the same grouping of Harden. He's good, not great

Dwight Howard is without a doubt a top 8 player. You are underrating him based on his lesser stats. He doesn't need to produce like he did in Orlando. Houston's got two other great players, and a bunch of other guys able to drop 10-15 on any given night.
 
If Dwight had lesser players around him, he'd be more dominant. The way other guys score for Houston negates any chances he has of going back to his Orlando days.

If you know me, you would know I couldn't give two shits about raw per game stats. But Dwight isn't the same player he was in Orlando, forget what you read on espn, he doesn't do the things that don't show up in the box score as well as he did in Orlando. He's not that guy anymore.

And the Rockets don't have two other great players. People really need to stop using that word so loosely. James Hardens defense is so bad, it keeps him from being great. And Parsons? Come on, nobody should attach the word great to his name.

Anyone heard about JR Smiths "shooting boycott?"

 

[NV]

Yeah because Woodson told him to take smarter shots...smh

 

[elcheato]

You can't teach smart

Harden is starting to play more defense, and if his defense keeps him from being a great player, does that apply to Carmelo, too?

Chandler fills up the stat sheet. He is a great NBA player, imo. Houston is completely lost when he's inactive. 

 

[Pugz]

people still throwing the term great around very loosely.

Great, elite, superstar, etc

Poor Hooper again.

[Pugz]

Unacceptable losses haiku:
 
My Rockets just lost
to the goddamn Kings, for fuck's
sake. Ridiculous.
 
Romo unfairly
blamed for defensive lapses,
five straight touchdowns scored.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lin was inactive tonight, report a couple days ago said they were making him available.

Has he been traded?

Nuggets 102, Pelicans 93: A lot of Denver players pitched into this one, but it was two guards who were really key. One was Ty Lawson, who had an awful game in the loss to the Jazz, but he bounced back with a good game (12 points, 8 assists) directing the offense. The other was Nate Robinson off the bench with 14 points, but you know he can score; it was a couple key blocks and some good defense we didn’t expect that really mattered. Ryan Anderson had 26 for the Hornets but he was 10-of-21 shooting and missed a lot of good looks.
