    Yea just like we or most of of saw at the half. No energy no life no effort. I knew we would go down by 20 or more by the end of this game

    I just wanna slap harden in the head and Capela. Everyone actually wake them up or something. This isn’t just about the depth of our bench is internal problems no chemistry whatsoever. That’s why Ariza was so important, Not because he was great but the glue guy here and would keep Harden accountable

    We are so predictable. So frustrating. We were handed a gift why Rudy was ejected and yet we fumbled it. This coaching staff is atrocious. No adjustments and energy.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if MDA is fired if we lose by 20+. At least Mchale wasn’t afraid to pull starters

    I generally give the squad the benefit of the doubt, and try to be slow to react (like our D) but at this point we need to blow it up. From the looks of it that formula we had last year had a 1 year life expectancy.

    This team is soft. Not playing with any passion or fire. Sad sight to see from guys making millions to play a game they love

    I really don't know what they can do to fix it all. They depend so much on guys like Harden and Paul. CP3 has to better than this. Obviously, they need a wing, but getting a guy who can knock down threes and play good defense in their system is going to be tough given their inflexibility right now.

    Agree with this too, i still see PJ and Clint run around trying their best, other guys are just walking around while they should lead the team...disheartening.

    Yea but Capela ? Really he can’t even score an inch from the basket even less a couple feet away. At least a gordon or Harden brick would have been close to the basket.

    I'll sacrifice the Rockets season if it means they get a solid lotto pick and the Texans keep winning.

    You can believe all that, but nothing supports it.

    Teams have memorized how to defend the rockets. Its over. The main cogs Harden and Paul have such narrow styles of playing. They can't play any other way. The offense is so predictable, teams know exactly what to do. It's probably muscle memory.to guard the rockets.

    They can only win when they are hot and shooting above their normal means when chucking their 3s. Those are the only games they will win.

    Yikes.

    They can blame Morey all they want, but If they don’t play with intensity and focus, it doesn’t matter WHO is out there.

    Starting to get worried about our lockerroom, which is weird because they are all good guys.

    Stop playing like p*****s.

    We dont have a real leader.

    Harden already gave up.

    His body language said he dont want to play the game.
