OT OT: Rockets in free fall, Pistons on 4 game win streak since Josh Smith was waived

[KingSpeed]

Nate- still wish we signed Smith? Biggest cancer in the league. One of the worst players in the NBA.

 

[KingSpeed]

4/11 and 4 turnovers tonight

This is why I don't like mid season moves. It's so hard to incorporate new players. Then when players actually suck, you are stuck with them

 

[Strenuus]

Crap Rockets gonna go 9-1 in the next 10 now.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The biggest beneficiary is Drummond.

He seriously looks Shaq-like.

No amount of jinx can turn their free fall around. They lost the mojo to compete because it's a mess of talent. Too many conflicting roles.

It's no fluke that Howard's game is suffering now. Weird how a GM wouldn't see this! Thank God Morey is a fool. Houston could have been a scary team if managed right

 

[KingSpeed]

When you sign a guy who was waived by the Pistons to start for your team, it means you had zero faith in the team and the players obviously feel that.

 

[A Lillard Bit More]

So glad we didn't sign him. Rockets can be scary good or scary bad. Smh.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

A GM grasping at straws... a roster in shambles... a forum full of idiots crying out for justice or at least refs punishing players other than Harden when they flop...

THIS! IS! HOUSTON!

 

[Boise Blazer]

I guess when "Houston, we have a problem" is too easy then there is a problem right?

But you'll just go ahead and add to it!

 

[magnifier661]

Nah, their problems are real and so is their free fall. Stating the obvious isn't a jinx. It's different if they were on some sort of tear and you say something based on SOS. But this is 100% a legit concern. They lost their versatility, which totally made them scary.

Their current core group is a mess... Plane and simple. That's why I said "no amount of jinx can turn things around". It's well beyond that right now.

What Houston needs to do is decide to go all in with Howard or Harden. The two aren't compatible. Use one of the stars to get the right compliment for the other player

Man can you imagine the had got Melo too? Well, I'm mean I know Josh Smith thinks he is Melo but still. What a circus

shhhhhh!

 

[magnifier661]

shhhhhh!

Don't even worry bro. Morey is as delusional as the clutch fans. He will never admit to his mistake of going all Whitsett on the Rockets

 

[MickZagger]

The biggest beneficiary is Drummond.

He seriously looks Shaq-like.

7 points might be a career low for Shaq.

 

[Boob-No-More]

4/11 and 4 turnovers tonight

In just 17 minutes.

In his last 4 games, he has more TOVs (13) than made FGs (9).

I'm so glad our GM isn't an idiot and almost as glad theirs is.

BNM

I've been saying this for a while, but you forgot to mention that they also need to clean house in the FO.

 

[Blazersfan161]

Rockets could keep slipping now

 

[KingSpeed]

Rockets have already benched Josh Smith. Will he sulk?

 

[riverman]

You can bring all the stars and name brand players you want to Houston but they still play under McHale and he's not the sharpest pencil in the box from what I've seen

 

[maxiep]

Houston kicked our ass. Who cares whether or not it was without Aldridge. Until we beat them in this current configuration, we can't talk smack.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Although tonight he had 12pts, 6reb and 1blk in 20 minutes tonight off the bench in a win.

Well they didn't beat us in this current configuration either

 

[maxiep]

They beat us without Josh Smith. We really match up poorly with them. And it's just going to get worse.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

SHUT UP, JINXSPEED!

Jk bud but I thought it was funny

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Detroit should never have signed him to be an SF.
Houston should not make him a starter.

Both teams have been using him incorrectly. If Houston makes him a backup PF, he and the Rockets will be fine. However, my son said that he was guaranteed a starting job if he signed with Houston. If true, that would be disasterous.
