A rare weekend is just around the corner. Back to back holidays. Valentine for lovers, Presidents for discounted linens. And then there is the NBA. A time to celebrate its stars but it's also time for the Rockets fans to celebrate. The locals won't play again until the 19th. They sent James minus Khloe to Toronto and maybe Dwight will be an ex-Rocket before they put on those stupid Chinese uniforms again. Sorry, Les, but they are Commies and we all know it.
THE ROCKETS are the Edsels of the league. The team started the season with 3 straight losses and since then have had 4 more 3 game losing streaks and 2 four game losing streaks. They come out of the break with 3 more road games and a great chance to build a 6 game losing streak. There are no answers. IT's too late. Red Nation has to come to grips with one glaring fact. G.M. Daryl Morey isn't a genius.
If Dwight really is the problem, then those of us who have followed the league for over 40 years must really be missing something. I like Harden as much as the next guy but the lame offense is built not AROUND HIM, BUT RATHER FOR HIM. Firing Kevin McHale proved another thing. Daryl Morey isn't a genius. I gotta think one other thing. Even if the ROCKETS were way better they still couldn't hang with THE WARRIORS, SPURS, OR OKC. So being lame gets them off the hook.
