    Rockets consistently lose to the good teams in the NBA


    It’s a sign they are simply not in that class.

    We can live with one of kawhi and PG having a big game but we can’t have both them being this efficient....then Trez is 6-7 also. We have to make an effort to take one of them out of the game. Neither one is a great playmaker I think we should start sending a hard double

    It's a loss for sure.

    When Harden playing like the worst player on the court, you know game is over.

    PG and Kwahii was shooting at their will. Our D is joke.

    But the thing is the outcoaching part doesn't happen in game. It happens in the off-season , training camp and during practice sessions where Dantoni doesn't implement any basic plan b options on offense when Harden iso isn't working.

    Would you be shocked if they pulled it out? I wouldn't. This team seemingly only fights when they're cornered like rats. Well, the flashlights are on them, and the Clippers are swinging a big stick at their heads right now...

    I think the odds are against you though. Clips are a good team. Though they probably won't keep hitting 3s over 50 percent...

    You have me confused.. I'm no Harden fanboy bro... If he weren't a Rocket, I'd hate his guts... I don't like his mannerisms when **** don't go right.. To me, that's b****assness.. Just like sounding tough on the keyboard..

    I think there are some glaring systemic giant holes in the way the Rockets play the game.

    No they haven't Harden just isn't shooting as much. Only thing that shuts down Harden is what's between Harden's ears. It's mostly mental with him.

    Nah he was killin the double team finding open shooters. He has to continue passing, which he stopped doing in the 2nd quarter because he was shooting tough shots

    So you say nothing when he does good but complain when he does bad haha wow thats funny. I mean...you're the one who called another grown man a b****ass over a basketball game LOL. I guess I'm no better. I shouldnt have even acknowledged you to begin with.

    Harden is the only reason the rockets have been relevant all these years btw, have fun hating him.

    Actually it is double him . . .bump and slap him until he gets frustrated
    don't worry about foul calls. . they will only call 1 in 5
    So each player will get 30 wacks at him before they foul out

    I agree 100%. The lack of in-game adjustments are well documented but there don’t seem to be any game to game adjustments. What we are truly seeing here is a HOF coach beating up on an above average coach.
