    Remember when Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen got clowned by a Young Minnesota Team in Stephon Marbury, Kevin Garnett they were talking all game.



    Michael Jordan also lost to an Expansion Toronto Raptors team, Bulls with 72 win year.


    Mahmoud Abdul Rauf destroyed Michael Jordan Win Streak.


    Michael Jordan defense I really believe is overrated especially in the mid 90s, in the 80s his defense was great.

    Rockets and Harden deserved it this time. Show up on that closeout. Stop gambling on Ja's handles. Dumb play deserves to be blasted on television. Hope it gets back to Harden. With enough embarrassment, Harden will respond. Keep it coming. Bad habits need to die. It needs to come from the player 'cause we know this coach ain't got no voice with his players when it comes to defense. I also expect Harden to not let a rook take it to him like that next time.

    Did y’all watch this game? We deserved every bit of it? If you don’t want anyone clowning you.. beat them.

    I'm guessing they failed to mention the guy who got clowned still outscored young punk by 15 points.

    Yes Harden needs to play better D at times but DAMN this loss wasn't on Harden when the rest of the team is playing like crap and he's getting zero help.

    Im more annoyed at the fact a rookie punking Harden, and actively trying to get the switch to have Harden defend him in the action, didn’t bring an ounce of reaction from James.

    The Rockets played their role last night. They made the youngsters look good by lowering themselves to the competition. When you deal with the young bloods you need to push them around and put them where they belong. Our teams problem is these losses don't embarrass them, this is no different than the Goldenstate loss. Any team young or old can beat us because we don't play our young guys ever and we don't help each other on offense and defense.

    Perfectly sums up the current stage of the Rockets.

    Yup. Harden's defensive effort comes in a package with shooting well.

    And this is why it's hard for teammates to respect Harden's commands on the court.

    They were trashing talk mid game. So if you going to slap teeth out of their mouth then do it that game. They didn't, they couldn't. Your trash talk makes no sense.

    ESPN hates the F***** out of Houston!!! With that being said, the Rockets have some questionable losses this season. Some embarrassing losses. The type of losses that Houston normally gives us each year.
