    Same group, different mentality.

    Same group, plus one wookie.

    If you can convince Harden to break up with Khloe, we will build a statue for you Josh Smith. It might be in the driveway of Treasures, but still it will be a statue.

    Houston has so many strippers that look better than Khloe.

    On top of that if he breaks up with Khloe, TMZ won't be all up in his business.

    Told you guys. Getting Smith back was all we needed to recover our mojo.

    Barring a total collapse, we'll beat a mostly healthy Dallas team without Dwight or DMo

    Khloe got paper though. When you're paid, there's extra risk dealing with people who have much less.

    I continue reading it, some parts, but you're right. It is rather noisome, quite often. :(

    You live by the 3 and you die by the 3. Looks like for some reason this team has just given up. No fight or energy in this team, Well only a couple more months until baseball season. Come on Astros.

    Up by 20 with 9 minutes left in the game and they lose. This was a home game. Turn out the lights the parties over.

    NOT THE SAME GROUP!

    Those wise men Jason Terry & PatBev. Which current Rocket(s) will tell the brutally honest truth?

    "Not the same group. We've got to quit saying that. I'll leave it at that. Whoever told you that, they kidding themself."

    "Not the same group! If you think that you're not watching the games."


    Last time the Rockets started 1-3?

    Not the same group.

    Literally and figuratively.

    Even if you agree with the sentiment and share the worry . What else could we have expected our Front office to do ??

    15 mil for Ariza IS too much .

    Luc was coming off shoulder injury and mentally looked broken .

    Both guys were on the wrong side of 30 .

    30/30 GM's let them go under the same conditions .

    The replacements haven't worked out so far . We will have to give them time . Especially ennis .... he can still fill a role and be a good rotation player .

    Who else could we have picked up ?

    How could we have known capela would have looked like a total bum to start the year . Most people thought the rockets got a STEAL with his contract . The form he showed in the playoffs .... he dominated defensively and had enough chemistry with harden to help our offense a ton .

    Gordon looks quicker . He's getting to the rim more easily , his defense looks the same if not better .... he just can't buy a shot .

    Harden (first 3 games ) looks like himself .

    Paul had a BAD first game , a better second game , and then got suspended .

    PJ Looks excellent.

    Melo for what it's worth looks like he is trying and had a good game tonight . Hopefully he can start stringing them together .

    The thing that is missing is the overall TEAM level of play and communication. Also , I don't think Paul and Clint necessarily started off the season in the best shape . Or at least their timing is off .

    That's the main thing . We haven't caught our rhythm at all yet . We've played like 1 good quarter .

    This is on the coaching staff . The team is not NBA ready . We have only been in the games we've been in because of the talent level and skill of harden (2,3,4) and Paul for game 2 .

    Rotation decisions have been questionable . If you start green or Melo tonight we might have blown them out . Also if harden had made his layups ...

    I don't like our attitude. I don't think CP3 got less competitive , I don't think PJ got less competitive. I think the whole "we will figure things out ,.. let's just wait and see " starts with MDA . And I don't like it .

    Last year there was no such thing as tired . We didn't make excuses when we lost . We didn't cry about players being out . We ducking endured and guys stepped up . It feels like this year , if things aren't going perfect then they might as well not go at all .

    4 games in . Please rockets , make me look like a huge idiot .

    Those island retreats aren't really good for the Rockets. They need a tough getaway like Siberia or something.

    I'm down for an island retreat but with the caveat that they have to swim/row their way back .

    Slight point of disagreement . 14-15 wcf were close . We played 2 great games in GS and winning either of them would have changed the series. Also we were even more confident coming in next year because DMO and Bev were hurt and didn't play .... we thought for sure those guys would Change the balance .
