    It would be easier to calm down if this organization was competent enough to realize there was a problem after the 1st home game in New Orleans.

    Nooooo... we'll be good. Stop ignoring the reality. It makes sense that nobody has rings on this team. No true contending team should get embarrassed on their home floor first game of the season then have to be 1-4 four games later to realize changes and adjustments need to be made.

    That's ridiculous and plain stupid.

    We can make sure that every game tells us a bit about the 82 game season and the 16 wins to win it all like a puzzle.

    No it was game 1 in reality. This team isn't a young team when you look at the players that matter most for championship aspirations. The players that are youthful aren't really smart players on the court. The team is suffering through a identity crisis that they claimed to not have after the Bahama's... so in all truth that tremendous amount you speak of had to exist over the summer.

    Those teams played with heart and gave us some exciting seasons, even if they were short of conference finals.

    To be fair, this board has been begging for us to tank instead of ride the treadmill of mediocrity for years! Finally we get our chance!

    If we tank, Silver will unveil the Competition Committee’s revamping of the lottery system “to ensure so-called ‘tanking’ never happens again.”

    Yes everyone please calm down. Melo may have earned a starting job now. According to CF's this was all we needed.

    All will be well. No one can be expected to play defense under these new rules. Relax please everyone give it time.

    Clearly this team is much better than last years. I'm sure GS and the rest of the NBA is shaking in their boots right now looking at our new roster. We are going to be defensive juggernaut very soon.Relax everyone please.

    I just dont understand why the players, coaches, ang GM are panicking as well. This knee jerking and over reacting has to stop. Please relax everyone. We know Melo wont go 0 - 12 like trash Ariza, and probably won't dislocate his shoulder like that bum journeyman Luc, we are fine.

    So please everyone just calm down and stop over reacting to what your eyes are telling you and just relax;).

    Good thing the Rockets don't play any real contenders in their next 20 games. :D

    I am rather pessimistic, to me this Rockets team probably can only win around 60 games this season, and if we don't get Bulter, we have no chance to beat the Warriors.

    Done
    Put fork in

    No hope as 2 good players out and 3 scrubs in and they don't fit/stink.

    Felt better already.

    At least Astros are still good and Texans seem to have turned it around.

    At 0 and 3 this was the same feeling also
