New post: Los Angeles Clippers 117, Houston Rockets 109: Rockets Can't Recover from Third Quarter Collapse

I just do not like the mix too many players with massive holes in their games.

1. Lin - good to great passer, decent defender - can't shoot.
2. Harden - awesome scorer - doesn't play defense
3. Parsons - no weaknesses
4. Morris or PPat - non rebounding - mediocre overall.
5. Asik - can't catch, terrible FTs and bad offensive game overall

We just don't have enough complete players, Harden is one when he wants to play defense, but so often he is disinterested on that end...

We try hard, we are just short on talent - the Clippers are a young team WITH talent.

Big difference.

It is time to try some other players, like Dmo, Beverly and TJones - at least give them some time when it matters.

Just my .02.

A season of growing pains. Tough to assess a whole lot from a small sample size. This is a tough stretch and while i hate losing, i cant get too upset. Just have to temper expectations when they have a nice week or more.

hold on DaDakota. you don't throw the baby away when it takes a crap you throw away the diaper. we knew there would be nights like this.

thx - ive actually watched portions of games on there, but i could never get a quality that was good enough to continually use the service. plus id prefer my big HD to my laptop screen.

just wait it all out i guess.

Not sure what baby and crappy diapers have in common with what I said, but ok....

My point is there is little to no accountability, whether or not anyone plays hard night in and night out doesn't matter, the same 8 guys are going to play.

The team needs to play more people, get some competition going, I sure would like to see Dmo in there more, as well as Greg Smith...

We need more 2 way players, right now we have tons of one way guys, and some potential on the bench.

Let's find out what we have so we can make the proper decision about whom to keep and whom to jettison.

PS. Lin is a downgrade at PG - very sad the team chose marketing over ability.

More growing pains is what it amounts to. I think it's safe to say that this young team is exceeding all of our expectations tremendously. McHale has so many tools, many of which are unknowns, at his disposal, he's bound to have it figured out by season's end.

I disagree, there is no history of McHale ever figuring out anything as an NBA coach and being successful.

um.....he has coached 3 seasons total. the same guys are in there night and night out because they won almost every game in december and brought the team in to the top 8 of the conference. you cant start benching players because they had a few rough nights, you gotta let them go through the losing and hope that they will get over it, so they can grow as players and grow as a team. yeah, 4 losses in a row sucks but this is the perfect time of the season to allow players to grow through that, if it was towards the end of the season it would be a completely different situation. if this keeps going yeah i agree we need to try something new but the fact of the matter is its only 4 losses.
