    Should've let the bench do the work for a couple of minutes more, they were playing ok and with energy...just roll with what is working...the starters were absolutely pathetic and embarassing, aside from Pat and Trez.

    That is the worst I've seen Harden play D in a while. Just sit him. He can do a Lebron and rest.

    Gordon finally having a poor shooting night.

    We are getting killed in the paint. Please someone heal Capela ASAP.

    Players are human. This is one of those scheduled losses if I've seen one. You have to dig deep into your bench to win these sort of games.

    Pathetic, unprofessional effort in the first half, they should be embarrassed. Harden clearly not focused and ready to play smh. We need to lock in, the Magic suck.

    They are playing harder than us.....need to bench the starters early in the 2nd half if they don't play hard.

    You would think morey would target guys who kill us. But he just star chases. I would kill for a team like okc's roster to be around harden instead of what we have now

    For those wondering what Kate Beckinsdale is after 4 underworld movies laced in black leather, I will tell you, she is hot.

    Starters are all -14 or worse except for Bev (-5)

    Yikes!

    All bench players are +5 to +7

    That last 4 mins sequence by the Rockets might be the worst basketball I have seen this season... just straight chuck mode with little to no effort on both sides

    As good as he's looking all season, point that his FG% is lower than Hardens.

    Rockets can't play much worse than that. If the starters actually show up in the second half, they can win.

    Can Augustin stay hot? If he can't, we're coming back before they even realize it.
