    If we lose, we should try to lose with by a smaller margin. Find something positive to build on and carry over to the next game.

    Russ needs to stay disciplined right now. He keeps trying to go for the steal and he isn't getting it and it's putting us out of position.

    I can't believe I'm over here like "If they can just cut it to a 20 point deficit by half time.

    Just remember we can't tank because we traded away all our picks for the next decade.

    Morey will get hired somewhere else immediately while Dantoni will be done as a head coach in this league.

    Let the losing streak commence, trade Capela, maybe Tucker and Gordon. Sorry but Tucker not getting an extension and we need size so I’d listen to offers. Tucker also deserves a better team and I wouldn’t even think about re-signing w Houston. Too many guys who don’t work as hard as me, ****, I’d request a trade.

    I seem to recall this last year too and instead we wasted the season by not winning anything... lottery, Harden's MVP or the title.

    This season will probably ruin Harden and WB's "friendship" and some big roster overhaul will happen.

    You now trying to strawman when I said it was about getting lay-ups and threes...but the Rockets care a lot more about the latter.

    I said Morey ball is putting an over reliance on 3 point shooting, this is obvious, we've been doing this since McHale has been coach, everyone in the NBA knows this, talks about it, it's our thing, for you to say it isn't...well that's on you.

    MDA Suns was true pace and space, not many teams actually do that, which people get confused with just spacing out the floor or spreading out the floor with bigs that can shoot but many teams do not get the "Pace" thing right, which is what the Rockets have been missing before getting Westbrook. The Suns were not Moreyball, they literally shot thousands of fewer threes per year than the Rockets, it is clear you have little idea what you're talking about here, you're arguing to argue because you are saying the same damn thing as I am.

    "Again Moreyball says just limit mid range shots"

    This is exactly what I've said, but it's more than that, it's an over reliance on threes too and the only 2 point shot we prefer is a layup, inside the paint, this makes our offense terribly predictable, which has always been a complaint, not just around here, but guys who coached and played too.

    MDA's coaching isn't non-existent, he's doing what Rocket coaches have done since being here, the difference now is that our defense is now complete garbage (that is thanks to the coaching staff) and also because we can't make shots...so this is what you get.

    At this point I could care less how many points Harden and CO score. If they want to impress hold a team under 100 points for a damn game.

    Rockets are balanced they can't shoot or play defense.

    Nice perimeter defensive effort by Harden led to open 3.
