    Here we go with the homer excuses. The Bucks would wreck them in a series. They can actually blow out teams, even great teams, and yes, most legit title contenders do exactly that. 17-18 Rockets would only build their leads through games, but whatever makes you feel better.

    I mean...at some point it is what it is. This is what they do. They cannot mentally hold a lead. Just pathetic.

    Yeah, Denver is just playing better now and the Rockets just have to pick it up.

    Ego should have more shots.

    Im talking about what i see in regular season I dont trust him in playoffs compare to other teams role players, and your old post is looking bad, Like i said its nothing new and a concern, Rockets stay blowing leads and that has to change.

    It's a consistent pattern to always lose big leads with this team. It's troubling.

    Harden needs to help reign him in.

    It’s amazing how people keep saying Hartenstein is playing good minutes but the actual fact is, whenever he will be in the floor, the other team will always make a run.

    His defense is just horrible, he can’t jump and almost never able to dunk.

    House is a scrub now. McLemore is your Gerald Green, so he's either on or just a black hole on the floor (so that's kinda expected). If Tucker and House don't improve their play, they gotta go. Covington would be able to provide much better production even when he's not shooting well.

    I agree. Russ seems to like playing with Harty. I’ve caught him smiling at Isaiah from time to time. They should be working on that in practice. Harty looks like a 21 year old kid often enough, but the pluses outweigh the mistakes. He’ll get better with more time on the court.

    Hopefully Harden can get this lead up early because he is playing the whole 4th on a bad toe.

    Not a fan of D House game. Think with Gordon back, his minutes should be reduced significantly.

    I really don't think he was the issue that last Denver run. It was poor guard play, poor offense, honestly not sure what we were doing.

    Russ isn't terrible tonight but he is very reckless tonight.
