    Rockets are streak shooters. That's why we always have random offensive droughts.

    Have the Rockets held a 15+ lead throughout even once this season?

    The Boston game on Sunday is the closest thing to that I can think of, they still got it like 11.

    Pop would’ve called a timeout when it got to 12 and the energy just looks wrong. MDA waits til 18 dwindles down to 6.

    During these cold spells is when I would like to see Mike step up and call a play. For this team to go as far as we want to go, Mike has to improve his in game understanding.

    Our third quarter lapses have been bad this season. Do the players have a snooze at half time or something

    This is why mid range game is so important.....nothing but 3's and layups...you blow leads easily!!

    Of you always rely in threes. That set they should open up the mid range.

    Up 18, D'Antonio doesn't call a TO until the lead is cut to 5 & this fanbase wonders why we blow huge leads so often

    No. We're never fully focused.

    Gone back into panic mode after missing a few shots, and we've completely forgotten how to defend. See how easily we're giving up the easy 3 now?

    can't waste all the time outs, we get less now. Otherwise D'Antoni would be calling them every 2 minutes

    When you go cold you miss mid-range too.

    Let's say MDA critic.....I like the man off the court, does tons of charity with his wife. Give him credit where it is due. He also did a lot of things right as coach just not all of them.

    We know they're a good team, but we're not even defending now.
