Rockets Need A Third Option

[Mr KLC]

I've seen too many games when they have been outplayed when Harden and Howard are on the bench. They'll never make the Finals without one more superstar weapon. The Magic had a 9-0 run tonight.

bring back Yao

[greenhippo]

Parsons puts up 16.6 on 49% shooting.

[easyliving]

their not going anywhere this season anyway

[jjgold]

They look fine to me

major threat

I think you'd struggle to find many NBA games where a team doesn't have one.

Parsons puts up 16.6 on 49% shooting.

A lot of those points come when Harden, Howard, or both are on the floor with him. He is lousy at being the #1 option.

This happens quite often when they do their substitutions late in the 3rd and early in the 4th.

[greenhippo]

Pacers gave up a 12-0 run tonight. Blow them up!

[jjgold]

They will be fine although West all pretty close in talent this year.

[Mr KLC]

It would have worked out great if they could have gotten Rondo in a trade, without giving up Parsons, or Lin. Beverly and Lin work great together in the back court. It hurt them some by trading Aaron Brooks as their third option at point guard because Beverly and Lin were able to play together more.

[Cuse0323]

Stretch four would be nice and complete them, IMO.

Rockets have no problem scoring the ball or defending. Their roster is terrific. Only things that are hurting them are offensive rebounds and turnovers.

[Sledge187]

Jeremy Lin is really struggling, can we Goran back please.

[LoveSosa]

Have you been just skimming through Rockets games or actually watching . His name is Chandler Parsons. Its the bench thats ruining it for the Rockets.

Aside from that they can reach the finals but this year might not be it.Next season if they make the right trade with Asik, Jeremy Lin actually plays up to his contract and TJones continues his beasting they are going to be a PROBLEM next year.

In Morey we trust.

lol Parsons probably is like the 2nd or 3rd leading scorer among 3rd options

LINSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Asian Inspiration.

[jjgold]

Indy game tonight should be good

If Rockets win they could be on their way to a major run to Finals

If Rockets win they could be on their way to a major run to Finals

Yeah, I'm sure the Clippers, Thunder, Grizzlies and Spurs are all shaking in their boots. The Rockets are more likely to be knocked out in the first round by one of those four teams (three are bad matchups for Houston, and the Spurs have a serious experience and coaching edge in a playoff series) than they are to make the Finals.

[jjgold]

Dead even race in west with appox 6 teams as any can get to the finals

[Menses]

LOL...Rockets dun need nothin....except defense....they won't win because there are better teams out there that can truly play both ends of the floor...but they are a bit better than I thought they would be...and hack a Dwight is no longer working...which is a plus...

Rockets destroy the Spurs twice this year...but the Clippers have their number...not sure about Thunder...with Westbrook back..

[greenhippo]

Rockets defensing FG% 5th best in the league. Only reason opp put up points is pace of the game. Rockets pretty solid defensively.

[rm18]

Rockets are probably the third most dangerous team in the NBA after the two big boys in the East. Memphis maybe a sleeper
