Somethings gotta change, we have serious problem with this team right now. Stop talking about its early in the season, only 3 games. We are making the same mistakes over over again.
It may only be "just 3 games" but it's 3 games of losing by 20+... I'm almost certain that has never happened before. This team doesn't just look bad, they look historically bad. And the worst part about it? They look like they don't care. McHale doesn't care. He just sits on his hands and hopes that at some point the ball starts going in again. Harden doesn't care, he is just going to keep shooting, hoping one goes in. Lawson doesn't care, hell he doesn't even try to put the ball in the basket. Harden started walking out before the game was even over. I'm actually embarrassed to be a Rockets fan right now. I've NEVER felt this way.
Last year we were looking great without Howard and TJ. Of course we are missing Dmo this time unlike last year when Howard and TJ were out. What scares me right now is how our team will look when everyone is healthy. If we blew out the first 3 teams we played without Howard and Dmo I could see us going somewhere in the playoffs when they are healthy. What if we don't look good when everyone is healthy. This game was supposed to be a confidence boost for our team. The way the Rockets played today is how we are suppose to play when Harden is out. If Harden would of shot 7 for 10 instead of 0 for 10 behind 3 we would have won by 1 point.
If we play this horribly: OKC 2-0 LOSS ORD 0-2 LOSS Orlando has been playing great, only losing to tough teams by miracle shots. SAC 2-1 WIN? Sac lost two to a very strong Clips team but crushed the Lakers in a blowout LAC 3-0 LOSS BRK 0-3 WIN This is a must win or we're looking at a potential 0-8 start. Nets have been crap so far this season.
Nets, we will win maybe 2 out of all of those and this is not emotions speaking. Magic have a good team, Kings are playing well, Nuggets beat us before, Celtics are solid, Blazers can light it up, Grizzlies and Knicks are doing well.

Harden needs to be forced to be in team USA's training camp every off-season. That way he won't turn all lazy and out of game shape heading into the regular season.

Harden came into this season so unprepared and noticeably out of shape. Now knowing he was not ready for this season all he did was brag and talk noise about how good he was and what he was going to do.
Thank you! Of course it just 3 games now but if we lose the next game it would be 4. If we don't make a change immediately then it will be to late to figure out what works best for the team and we will struggle later during the season.
