    It is such a luxury for them to have Howard and McGee constantly out there setting semi-truck screens.

    I just don’t get how every role player we have can **** the bed and then see big minutes the next game line nothing happened. And then there Hartenstein, who’s shown he can produce with minutes but ONLY plays when Capela is injured.

    It's almost like having bigs on the court helps. MDA should look at that.

    Gordon got paid and now all he does is jack up threes.

    Rockets just aren’t a good basketball. Clear as day for anybody who cares to notice.

    Notice their bench players running good plays for open shots.

    Our offense, even with starters, results in defended shots, for two reasons:

    1) We dont run good plays on offense as a team

    2) We have a lot of liabilities on offense. Two of our starters, House and Tucker are a liability, and Clint is completely dependent on Westbrook and Harden. Other team's defense cheats on defense because of our liabilities.

    The whole roster needs to be overhauled.

    This team is pure awful basketball. Morey and Mike should be fired.

    Is there anything uglier than Rockets basketball when we go cold? Like anything in the world? I can't think of anything

    It's fascinating. I forgot that that's like since 2017.

    These immense quarter long collapses happen over and over again with no f-ing adjustment by the team.

    Everyone that believes we're better than the Lakers just take a good look at this game.

    The only way to beat them in the playoffs is if we're stacked with overwhelming talent because in a close game, the refs will definitely take their side.

    If we can't build a team with that overwhelming talent, then we need to make trades happen or just be content with another early playoff exit.
