Most embarrassing loss in the Harden Era?

It’s up there. In terms of regular season losses, it very well may be the worst, given the context. Would be hard to come up with a worse one.

Spurs Game 6 in 2017 at home still takes the cake overall, though

 

Nothing beats the no-show in the Game 6 playoff against the Spurs, ever. I think that hurt so much that I don't remember the hurt in that game because I choose to not to relive it. I only know Game 6 against Spurs.

Shitty regular season loss I won't remember 5 months from now (let alone 5 weeks let alone maybe 5 days from now)

Ditto the Spurs G6 responses above.
...that started with Manu blocking Harden end of G5.

Don't read anymore, or you will hate HTown's basketball team.

 

My best advice is to just drink or smoke and act like tonight never happened

 

wait he shot 50 percent. got off the ball when he wqs doubled. u know the right basketball plays

 

i'd put game 6 spurs ahead of this game. but it's somewhere up there.

 

We’ll remember these pathetic Spurs/Pistons/Warriors/etc. losses come April when we get screwed with seeding and matchups in the playoffs...

 

Defeats like today require changes. This team is disgusting. I still don't understand what MDA trains and plans during the week. There is no possible excuse for what we saw. The first 8 minutes of the game the Rockets looked like an amateur team and the second half was the worst I've seen in my life. Are we going to have to keep supporting this?

 

Seeding schmeeding

You're right, Spurs, Warriors, Pistons, Kings...all shitty losses. This one just the latest. There will be more.

 

This isn't as bad as those two Kawhi-less Spurs games in the playoffs.

I tried my best to forget but he had 3 turnovers in a row in crunch time leading to a loss then followed it up next game with a dud (although, you could argue he had a concussion).

If we get bounced in round two this year and Morey gets canned, I hope we just rebuild. Trade Harden and Westbrook to the desperate Knicks for all their picks. This team isn't going anywhere as currently built and we don't have cap space to maneuver because of these ridiculous salaries.

 

Since no one will remember this in a week it's not even close. In a vacuum, it sucks a lot.

 

This had nothing to do with Harden. He was getting trapped and doubled the whole game. They'll never win games like these against anyone with Westbrook shooting 11-32. If you double Harden and Westbrook pulls an 11-32 there's just not enough offense to win.

 

I had just logged in to post how embarrassing this game was In the official thread so yea! It’s pretty bad lol

 

Harden would have 10 assists if the coach's kid and those 2 hair guys would hit wide open shots. Couldn't those peeps drive more instead of shoot more low percentage shots. Can we trade Rivers back to the Clippers, I'd take any of the ex-Rockets on the Clippers.

 

He was concussed. They were all concussed.

 

2020 last game in the first round exit of the Rockets playoff run.
