    Toyota Center is pathetic.

    I'll never forget the day I had people staring at me in disgust for being vocal in the lower bowl when I splurged on a ticket my very first trip to the US.

    Last trip I went to a Mavs game because I was in Dallas at the time, and good lord the entire experience -> a Rockets game.

    TyTy, the way our last few seasons have went……if we were about to beat the best team in the league….and an apparition appeared…….or a UFO landed on Toyota center……and the league called the game for the event and deemed it a victory for the champs even though we were up…..I wouldn’t bat an eye at it.

    First thing I thought when we lost that game was “oh well, who cares”.

    I was glad to see some growth from the guys but at this point the close loses feel like wins.

    Somehow I feel like eGo has been in the league since Charles Oakley…..but I know that’s not quite right.

    What a game by Jalen.

    Lets hope he finishes the final third of the season like this.

    Did Silas tell his defenders don't touch the shooters? It is on the coach than the player. Except the player is not smarter than the coach. Reset the coaching staff. Trash ending with filthy refs = rotten NBA.

    Looking back, that was definitely a foul. Still don't believe they called it, I'm so used to it being almost anything goes for game winning possessions as refs are terrified of being put on the spot like that. They got that one right.

    Rox have themselves to blame, they just threw away possessions at the end there and it came back to bite them. These refs were still poor all night long though.

    Only one of these was a foul in the eyes of the corrupt refs in Houston tonight.

    NBA is rigged.

    Just like how impossible that the ****ing Lakers could acquire 3 good players by trading Westbrook and one 1st round restricted pick?! It's robbery instead of trade.

    Happy they called the foul and the Rockets lost…we barely still have the worst record and top five pick.

    When does something like this ever get called? Should have been a no call. Tip of Gordon jersey barely touched nothing.
    Good thing ref did Rockets a solid. Wemban here we go!

    That was bad defense regardless by Gordon, but in general we wet the bed. Green thinking he’s hot ****, overdribbling and not getting back on defense. When he does, he turns his body. Martin with the dumb foul, going for the dunk with other guys open. Sengun and the whole inbound debacle.
