    I hate that Harden is our golden star and our Achilles heal.

    I hate that MDA can win most games, but nothing consistent or worthwhile.

    I hate that I am tired of watching this team. They literally make me weary of watching basketball, because it's hard to actually enjoy any of it.

    Giving up this many points is completely uncalled for. Roxs just went through the motions tonight

    Russ should get limited minutes instead of sitting out games completely.

    If anything, Harden should be the one sitting out b2bs, we've relied on him extremely heavily in his time in Houston.

    what if I were to tell you Harden could call a timeout as well?

    Does D’Antoni have his faults? No doubt. But simply blaming him for everything Is ridiculous but I guess it’s the new Clutchfans coping mechanism.

    Sure they do. 1 man offense. The team plays with no effort and no defense. Coach plays the strangest lineups that don't work and Harden can easily shoot you out of a game when he is just jacking 3 after 3. There is no offense, no movement. There is no more CP3 the floor will shrink in the playoffs with Russ.

    So useless.

    We're actually one of the worst teams in this conference if we're being honest. The only reason we contend is because of Harden. And when he doesn't shoot that well, we lose the game. No other players step up.

    They obviously need to stop resting westbrook since MDA cant win games against inferior opponents without 2 all-stars.

    It will be much easier that you can hit 10 power ball jackpots and buy the team from Tilman.

    By nature a 70 year old human should not be working period, specially if it requires high brain function.

    Harden with one of the worst 4th quarters I’ve ever seen

    Embarrassing, simply shameful. Again and again the same story. Another defeat against a team with a losing record.
    This team has a serious motivation problem. We lost with the worst teams in this league and MDA continues to reserve players!

    The system is very frustrating and boring. Just 4 guys watching one dude dribble between his legs on one spot on the floor for like 70% of our possessions.

    These games come back to bite you later on in the seeding. The problem is that the rockets have had 1 too many losses like this.
