    Meh... I didn’t really expect to win this game.

    Too many turnovers and poor outside shooting.

    The NBA right now is EXTREMELY match up specific when it comes to teams playing each other. In the playoffs it isn’t going to be a situation where one team is clearly better, but what team can avoid a bad match up.

    its gonna be a long regular season if our role players can't make open shots..

    EG feels like he won't be back in a long time and even then he'll have to break his slump.

    Harden and Westbrook can beat non playoff teams on any given night but against any solid playoff contenders, it'll be very ugly like tonight.

    Don't know if you realized, but Bucks beat the Rockets on their home floor. Blazers are not good. Clippers were missing Paul George, but that's an impressive win. T-Wolves were missing Wiggins.

    When Denver has the ball, they're doing some 1:1 match up with Jokic and Harden. Jokic to low post on Harden, for the size mismatch.

    Starters out, Safelotia in now, he's trying some fronting defense on Jokic.

    We don't matchup well with them right now, we need a big that can shoot the 3ball to counter their park a big man in the paint and double Harden off of Westbrook - who can't shoot.

    Harden doesn't half get the most bullshit fouls called on him.

    This team doesn't have any above average three point shooters besides Harden and Gordon
    I really.dont know about House yet as his sample size isn't that large and his form isn't what I would consider great.

    Harden played too slow and just let Denver double him. It's the dumbest defensive stuff that stops him.

    Why don't the Rockets ever get home cooking like this from the refs?

    Seems every other team gets a friendly hometown whistle but we get boned no matter where we play

    That’s what happened when role players can’t make **** besides a wide open layup.

    Ben maklememore is garbage on both sides of the ball and got a b**** look that says games lost already. Cut his ass...

    We got our asses whipped tonight.Harden beat their D is for real folks, none of our role players did a damn thing and our D may not be up to stopping a team with this much depth...Terrible 3 pt shooting as well

    We always beat Denver though, thats a favorable match up for us. This double team crap shouldnt do anything. Unless House is just that important and we completely tank without him. Im really disgusted right now. I even got BasketMad.....liking my posts ugh.

    Rockets are gonna struggle to win over the course of the season if Westbrook's game is going to be based around mid range jump shots
