    Game To Keep An Eye On Today

    Heat at Rockets

    Rockets were awful last night. McHale was so pissed, he benched the entire starting lineup for the majority of the second half. Line started Houston -9. Now its Houston -7 1/2. Be interested to see if McHale makes a statement, and shuffles the lineup tonight. Needs to bench Smith, and Ariza, and start Motiejunas, and Brewer. I'm a Rockets fan, but I think the Heat might be a great play here with that many points given.

    I do not know

    Houston is a zero threat because of Harden

    He dominates ball and its proven in NBA you cannot win that way

    Harden is the main reason they are competing. Without him, they are a sub .500 team. What you have is a starting lineup that likes to stand around. When Harden was put in with the second unit last night, I swear I saw more ball movement in 5 minutes, than in the last 5 games combined. The first unit has absolutely no energy, especially since Josh Smith was inserted in. Josh Smith is better with the second unit, where he can dominate inside more. With the first unit, he thinks he's a 3 point shooter, when he can barely shoot 50% from the free throw line. If Smith doesn't like it, cut his ass. Make a statement.

    Lionel Hollins wasn't afraid to bench Williams and Lopez for the good of the team. McHale should consider the same. Bench Smith. Bench Ariza. I'd bench Beverly, but Canaan is in McHale's doghouse for some reason, and Terry is not a starter. Put Motiejunas back in, and start Brewer.

    Harden was 100% responsible last year for Houston failures in playoffs

    Ya, Houston is built for regular season success. Not a playoff run.

    Although, this is by far Harden's best year that I can remember. So maybe he matured a bit and we'll see him move the ball more in the post season. Doubt it but maybe.
