    Chalmers already took out Chris and he tried to take out James.


    Just throw those games away and make the NBA look stupid as hell in the process. I'd rather lose those games than see them try something on Eric next time.

    1) LOL no

    2) Except you might have a point with Ariza. Dude should barely be getting playing time right now, much less starting and leading the team in minutes.

    #77's name is

    KARL LANE

    **** that piece of ****.

    And **** Chalmers. Should have let Harden square up and beat his midget ass and rupture his other Achilles. Okay maybe too far but **** him.

    So you think it is a smart idea to roll the dice with an obviously dirty team and a guy with a injury history?

    Roll these mother ****ers before they roll your ankles! If I'm Harden and the Rockets, I'm trying to ring out every ounce of malice with a beat down on the scoreboard!

    Um, no. Rockets didn’t play well tonight. Caught bad breaks but we just didn’t score enough points. 90 points? What is this, the 1990s?

    Pop knows his system can pick up 3 more games somewhere else.

    Nene, Black and Capela need to learn how to be a little more chippy.

    Right now only Tucker and Gordon have that edge.

    When a team or player is obviously trying to use dirty play to disrupt, you have to get even. GS had that with Bogut and Green and Iggy.

    The Rockets guards are too important and Anderson isn't capable. Time for the 5 spot to play with an edge. Memphis isn't the only team that will try to disrupt us physically. The Thunder with Adams and Roberson will too.

    Why is that?

    The Spurs do it all the time and no one loses sleep over it.

    What does this have to do with Chalmers injuring CP and trying to injure Harden tonight?

    Think beyond this second, Chalmers takes out Gordon then we're totally bleeped all over again.

    When the Rockets have a 20 year stretch like the Spurs have, then I'll be cool with forfeiting games.

    Let me use an analogy here.

    I'm a Steeler fan in my spare time (as the Texans did not exist for the majority of my youth) and 2 out of the last three seasons our playoff runs have been cut short by Vontaze Burfict injuring Le'Veon Bell in the same exact way 2 times and Bell getting concussed by the Bengals.

    You know how we finally got past it? Bell being suspended for the Bengals games.

    Fool me once shame on, shame on you, fool me ya can't get fooled again.

    Hmm, I expected this thread to say that our bench would match their physicality better than our starters.

    And I'd agree with that.
