David West is also better than any role player on the Rockets. You definitely have the better 1-2 by far though.

I think the road was rocky to get there. And right now it looks like a mish mosh of talent. Now that they know their big two, I'm sure their strategy can now revolve around building around them and cutting out those who don't . Which means scheme and knowing their role players. I guess it's the basketball purist that prefers teams be built around a scheme versus stacking the deck and then force fitting some scheme. Regardless, they kind of lucked into two huge superstars who actually complement each other nicely. |

Go home Zilla, you're drunk.
After listing to Screamin' A's take this morning, and having Howard tell him that if Phil was the coach, he'd still be a Laker, I don't know how Jim Buss looks his siblings in the eyes or how they don't remove him from all power within the organization. Hell, give all the power to Kupchak, I don't care, but that homeless looking mother ****er makes Scott Pioli look like he's Ozzie Newsome.

this was mediocrity
http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/2011.html they got rid of that entire roster in 3 years. THREE. That's a pretty good turnaround and upgrade if you ask me. So as Yao's career ended they blew up the entire cast that would have been around him, as they had no chance without him. Took them three years and you can say they landed ass backwards into Dwight after he turned them down a year ago, but they stuck with it and kept trying and did just enough (Harden) to convince him that was a better option than the Lakers. |

Metta World Peace is being amnestied by the Lakers.
I think they're going to let D'Antoni coach this last throw away year and then fire him a the end of the season.

I still don't understand the hire. If you're going to go to win now mode, why would you hire a coach with literally no coaching experience and just got done playing?

I knew that if Phil was the coach he probably would have stayed. DdumbassAntoni is an abortion
