Exactly, the only person they have that shoot the damn ball is Mike Conley and he is so damn hot/cold. Gasol is damn freak, every time I see them play I just wish like hell he could be on Thunder. There would be no stopping them ever.

 

Perkins for Gasol imo

 

I was about to say they would never make that trade but then again they did fire Lionel Collins and I still don't know why.

 

They thought their offensive failure was due to the coach ... nope, you just don't have offensive players.

 

Dwight had to carry those Orlando teams. He's only a piece of the puzzle for the Rockets (although a significant piece). His Orlando teams had much less overall talent and I think he should get credit for making them a consistently upper tier team in the East.

The West has a lot of great teams so it's not likely that the Rockets make the Finals. However, I think the comparison to Dwight's Orlando teams is a reach at best.

 

Also, those Orlando teams posted up Dwight to start their offense many many many more times per game than the Rockets. The Rockets emphasize ball movement and generally feed it to Dwight in the course of running the offense (i.e. not the initial feed, wait to see if they double, kick it out to shooters if they do, etc.).

 

Does Indiana finally get past the Heat?

 

Not the way they've been playing lately.

 

have you seen the Heat lately.

 

Heat are 6-4 in their last 10 and won 2 in a row. Pacers are 5-5 and have lost 2. But Indiana still has a 1 game lead.
