    It’s not the end of the world, but the Rockets needed this game much more than the Clippers did in the race for the number two seed. Yet, the Clippers are the ones playing with playoff intensity while the Rockets are playing with preseason energy. That’s what should piss everyone off.

    So we are actually going to eclipse the SUCK of the WCF record for missed 3s woo hoo !! I didn’t want to be right earlier today when I predicted a blowout loss but it just felt like this was how it was gonna go... this team isn’t for real as we can plainly see gang !


    Yeah this ain’t on Dantoni, this is more on Morey/Tilman and the average 3 point shooting roster they tried to cobble together, some nights it’s a little above average but mostly it’s been a or below average league wide yet we have zero other offensive options and that is our downfall AGAIN !

    This team is just complete trash. No effort or pride. What an embarrassing showing...

    Im not sure , and there are plenty of gmaes left ... but i do worry that the rockets ( harden and PJ in particular ) are getting a bit worn down.

    James guarded SOME bigs before , pj guarded SOME bigs before... now they are guarding bigger guys way more often and teams are targeting it because its not like we can put in capela and have a bigger guy to deter them from that.

    To be fair the load manager and the other guy who has been injured all season have more energy in their system

    We are not winning a Championship this year. We have no Plan B. Just Plan A. I'm tired of people calling this offense unstoppable. It is. James Harden is not the best player in the league.

    The difference is the 3pt misses, and they've also hit 8 more points from the free throw line.

    Will we shoot as badly as that if we play them again? No chance.

    But yeah, Harden hasn't looked interested today. He's done okay at times..... but he's lacking energy and motivation. Not sure if Harden is too comfortable with this small ball and with Westbrook having the ball more than him. I mean, this is his worst and most inconsistent season of his career. I don't think it's a coincidence anymore.

    I knew Harrell would kill the Rockets. You can’t guard Harrell using small ball.

    Why are the Rockets so bi-polar? This season has been a yo-yo of amazing play one week, absolute rubbish the next.

    What's happened to the consistency?

    Get EG’s ass back out there. He should play every minute of the 4th quarter. He’s a blowout time scrub at this point.

    Sit Westbrook. He’s our best asset at this point.

    Kinda wish the team had Coach like Stan gundy and 1-2 punch like a stocken 2 malone like offense with real plays to the basket and creating layups and open 2's. This 3pt shooting is only good when ur trying to get back into games. This is just stupid basketball imo....
