    Just wanted to address this sentiment, not arguing with you, but because it seems a bunch of people seem to point to this a lot, seen it on Twitter.

    People seem to think we can just look at the loss column but we also have 6 less wins than a team like Golden State. We’re 4.5 games behind the Warriors, not 3 losses. We’re not good enough to assume we can only look at the loss column. We were last year. We definitely aren’t this year. The way we’re playing now we lose more than we win. On top of that Golden State is going through more injuries than we are.

    This season is sad and pathetic. I’m not saying we can’t make the playoffs but for sure a top 4 seed is just around the corner from being unattainable. The western conference teams have to play each other. Not all 13 teams ahead of us can lose all at once.

    @HP3 how are you friend? Been a while

    Vegas keeps favoring us for some reason.

    And we won't even give a BB Gun to MCW, for fear he'll shoot his eye out.
    MCW ricochets are dangerous.

    The Rockets, as constructed, are not a knock down shooting team even though they jack up threes at will. You have Harden, the ultimate play maker. Maybe it's time to adjust and change styles a bit...go fast and rim run ala Lakers. We do not have the shooters to sustain jacking up threes all the time and our shooters are just too streaky.

    We would win this relatively easy if we didn't suck.

    We're having a hard time scoring more points than our opponents lately.

    I don't want to blame health or lack there of even though that's a factor.

    Too bad we suck.

    Planning to skip this one; the last few were just too painful to watch. I am thinking about checking in later in the season.

    The loss column is what matters to me. Rockets will be fine and our new winning streak start tonight.

    All I ask is that dudes stay in front of their man. Spurs have a pretty terrible offense, post ups and mid range, we should be able to win this....but :(

    theres no need for sad faces ..being a fan is meant to be fun... a lot of fun ;)
    and with that there is no substitute for positivity!
    you can not be outcome dependent
    you gotta be smart if you gonna be happy
    in these times when wins are hard to come by i look for the next best thing.. development of young players.....yeah we might lose a bunch of games early but we are playing rookies big time and thus it is to be expected that some of them will be able to help in playoffs because of that

    I am so excited to see what danuel will do, then clark and hartenstein!
    they are not the best players in the world but i fell in love with their games...

    and when we win, it will only be a cherry on the top

    I hear ya. I don’t think there is a realistic trade out there that would solve this.

    I truly believe we are still Golden States biggest threat but that’s not to say we’re much of a threat, or that we haven’t taken a huge step back.

    Right now our best case scenario is we make the playoffs and have everyone healthy for it. I don’t know how that in itself is an accomplishment but here we are.
