    I hate that they gave me faith again and ripped it away again in less than 24hrs. Tired of this crap this season.

    Harden, 9/19 FG=47%, 5/10 threes=50%, 9/10 FT=90%...Harden was getting it done, but the rest of the team failed themselves.
    Harden finished with 32pts.
    Stop the Harden Bashing!!!!!!

    Yes most people will look at the score and say we played no defense but the poor offense is really responsible. All the bricks fueled the suns attack. When James made shots we made a big run. No one else showed up though.

    Okay.

    Curry is a headache for defenses not just because of how great of a shooter he is but how disrupting he is for defenses to stick to him because he runs around like a mad man through multiple screens. It requires defenders to Chase and strategically make quick decisions to switch which results in more mistakes by the defenses because the offense is forcing the defense to make more split second decisions than the Rocket offense.

    Don't give me the back to back crap, in 2017 the Rockets went into Denver, and then went to Utah, a really hard back to back, and played defense and won both games - this team has no defense period - and it caught up to them, they haven't played any defense all season.

    He couldn't even stay healthy playing on his own and that's just not this season.

    Tucker/House/Gordon/Rivers/Clemons/Howard are a combined 5 for 33

    Harden/McLemore/Covington/Sefo are a combined 21 for 42

    That is your ball game....

    6 players in 109 minutes have made 5 buckets on 33 shots.

    Didn't he lead a team to 73 wins and 60+ wins the season before?

    I really hope Clemons will be the next summer league MVP so that the Rox will cut him and some tanking teams can pick him up instead of Morey sending him out to waste more cash of Tilman’s.

    If they showed effort I'd still have it. We're currently down 37 to a 20 win team, and they don't deserve it.

    Nope, not at all. I’m talking about the team as a whole.

    I’m surprised Russ hasn’t demanded to play b2bs at this point. He’s healthy, for a gamer like him it’s got to kill him to watch his team come out and play so lethargic.

    Gordon is hurt again. Leg injury.

    In no way, shape or form am I blaming Harden for this loss.

    Also because the Rockets won a game this season under worse circumstances does not mean that the Rockets should win every game.

    I would rather they win as well, but the facts are what they are.
