    Everyone on the team has to guard 2 players - their own and Harden's (TJones)...that gets tiring

    It looks like we had and we have no solution for Aldridge either when he was with Portland or with Spurs.

    Press: Why you chose to play for Spurs?
    Aldridge: bcz I can play Houston 2 times more each season.

    Not trying to be a smart alec...you really think this is getting better anytime soon ? We are jack it up from trey land team with no post up players (DMO exception but he don't play)..no rebounding, little to no defense.Things will very probaby get worse before they get better.McHale got knocked (me too) but there are FAR more problems existing.

    5 games to 14th seed.

    If we are in East Conference, we are only better than 76ers?

    I know that Harden isn't a Superstar. I just used the perception of a Superstar nowadays because lets be honest almost half of the guys that are called Superstars today wouldn't have that status 20 years ago.

    Allegedly there was back soreness.....but he wasn't going to play more than like 6 minutes anyway because they don't want to totally tank Jones' trade value like 2 weeks before they flip him.

    It is shocking that Harden ever goes half-assed. He seems like a full-assed kind of guy.

    Classic ****ty Rockets.. going from mediocre to downright bad.

    Harden stopped playing in the 2nd half.
    Jones will follow up a few good games with a stretch of terrible games.
    Brewer is really good at being terrible.

    Defense as always the biggest issue.

    With this rate, will there even be a playoffs? Rather just tank than get wooped in the 1st round by GS.

    Rockets Organization should make a public apology for the team's performance.

    They are both pretty pitiful..Dwight definitely doesn't slide over.

    This seems to be a "mind over matter issue"...the team don't mind and it therefore doesn't matter. How do you lose your hunger so quickly after last year and go half speed? Don't get it. Is it ALL about the money ? No desire to compete and win ?

    Didn't watch the 2nd half.

    Lemme guess...all Harden's fault? Is that what we're going with?

    A lot of it was Harden's fault, he was a huge net negative out on the court tonight. -31 or something like that. He should be embarrassed, but we know he's not.

    Just looking at the box score...that Harden -31 and Jones -36 is...not good...
