Jones is talented. The thing is, what do we need to expect from him? Harden is going to score around 24 a game, Dwight will give you 18, Parsons around 15 and Lin close to 14. We really only need Jones to score 10-12 ppg and chip in with 8 boards and a block or two. He can definitely do that.

That's what I'm saying... I'm not sure this team can get much better unless they strengthen their bench or trade some starters for other starters who might be marginally better.

I'm not sure what should be done to improve the team.

Backup center for sure... but other than that...

See, this is beside the point. The Rockets have struggled against bad teams this year.

They never quite "put it all together" yet this year.

Last night was the first time it looked like they were clicking.

Rockets were shooting like 75% for most of the game.. and not because they were just shooting amazingly. They were getting so many open shots and layups.

They were clicking and dominating so much they pulled their starters after the 3rd quarter.

It was the first time this season they didn't struggle at any part of the game and looked like the team people thought they could be.

Is the NBA really that lacking in talent that it's obvious a team should lose by 30 points? Don't think so. It's still the NBA.

But wait wait NO. They have to suck because the Rockets suck, and Dwight is a "bad" person.

Dwight is a terrible person, and Boston has close to the worst talent of any team in the nba right now.

You mad

Close to the worst team ? Even though they beat the Heat who is close to best team. Clearly they can play well on any given night and win. Stop being so ignorant. Obviously not every game does the better team win, if you follow sports on any level then you know this.



Pels jealous.
