    Bummer.

    Bit of regression to the mean for Gordon. Can't shoot 50% from 3 all the time.

    No reason to fret though. Losing to a good team on the road is not all that shameful.

    Against tall teams getting to the rack seems to be a problem
    They were able to do it against the spurs but not the Grizz
    This is where not having Capela shows. . . . .

    Harrel is too short
    and
    Nene seems to REQUIRE one bounce or some fumbling before he catches around the rim

    I am not overly concern . . . yet

    And we make needless mistakes against good teams down the stretch. Still, plenty of room for optimism - Memphis made ridiculous shots tonight.

    Fluke shooting from Memphis combined with ridiculous turnovers and cold shooting for stretches killed us.

    They can overcome stretches of cold shooting because the shots will fall eventually, but you can't overcome a combination of off shooting and stupid turnovers down the stretch.

    Not a bad loss in the scheme of things but I don't like some of the patterns I am seeing being formed.

    We know the three is a large part of our offense but that's no excuse to not start shooting some mid range occasionally if we are ice cold. I do not like our complete inability to adapt the offense when we are cold.

    Gordon was just trash tonight but no big deal. Harden's turnovers and defense... not going to go there because the homer harden's will go into meltdown.

    Honestly, if we show up and play some semblance of D (big if right now) we should win the next 5, Phoenix up next at home.

    We will either be 27-9 or 26-10, need to crush the clippers at home in a few days time.

    They destroyed the Warriors without Conley and Parsons.

    Just out of curiosity - how many times have we said this about a team this season? We cannot defend the three to save ourselves

    True team player & professional you are. I hope you retire a Rocket.

    This was more then likely the 1st preview for us. We will probably finish 4 and these guys 5th. Healthy Capela and Anderson and Gordon raining 3's we should take these dirty clowns out in a 7 game series at home.

    If the Rockets start a win streak when you go back home, we should start a Kickstarter for you to stay at home until the end of the finals. Have your family come and visit you.

    This may sound like I'm joking, but the Rockets are too important for me to leave things like this to chance.

    Grizz at home are not easy. They blew out the Warriors by 20 plus.

    Gotta give the bastards some credit! Rockets have fight in them. But seriously need to dedicate a week to some handling drills amd passing drills. Harden cant have 10 turnover games anymore.
