    Trying is nice , but he didn't do a good job of defensive rebounding . He did well on the offensive glass .

    I like nene , but we played him with some bad lineups and that made his play seem worse.

    Bev, Harden, Ariza, and Gordon combined to go 11-44. You're not gonna beat anyone shooting like that.

    When the threes aren't falling what is the plan!?(sounds familiar)

    Anderson needs to keep f&*king shooting. I would rather him miss like an ******* than Ariza.

    Ariza gives zero f^&ks about shooting, Anderson should adopt the same f$^king mindset.

    Harden needs to go to the f$&king basket when the 3's aren't falling.. When rockets were up 17 TWICE, Harden should taken control and stick his beard in someone's f&*king face and get to the line FOREVER! NEVER LET UP!

    f&*k.

    Pretty much. Not getting the overreaction.

    Always look at the last 10 record. Rockets are 7-3, they are playing a lot better recently. You lose games sometimes. Lets see how they respond.

    You better be careful or you may end up on a call out thread. ...lol. Dude started out shooting 50% and now at 43% on the season. But, but Harden is Jordan.

    We shot (missed) pacers back in the game twice!

    It's maddening because the same style that gave you a 17 point lead twice is the same style that let them back in the game and why we lost. This will happen when you rely on shooting.

    I'm well aware of the record, but look at the teams we've played. All are below .500.

    AGREED...Nene definitely did NOT! Soft as a baby's butt with little effort. Rebounding is about "want to".....when you miss 4 out of every 5 3 pt.shots, it might be a good idea to take a different shot or put a rebounder in the paint.

    Heck Joey Dorsey could be used for spot minutes

    Rox can scrap and claw as much as they want against teams that are dominant in the paint and it'll look like tonight on a lotta nights

    Rox need a goon in the paint to stop the bleeding on nights like this

    Harden doesn't really change the game's pace when needed and offense becomes stagnant or predictable to the defense.
    Ariza is our main offensive liability now that Brewer is gone. His defense hasn't even been stellar or consistent the past few seasons. We will never win a championship with Ariza as a starter.
    Beverly's is still a one sided player.
    Still no damn rebounder in this team.
    I wouldn't be surprised if this team exits the first round against Memphis or OKC.

    When Ariza got that offensive rebound and tried to shoot instead of pass....I knew it was all over

    As much as we dog the Rockets chucking offense, remember Nate McMillan is a defensive coach. Pacers caused some of our misses and some our infamous chuckers (Ariza, Ryno -including an ugly 3 pointer that looked like my gf throws up) helped tagged a L for the Rockets. I would tag Harden a chucker, but he went to the FT line 17x.

    Like I give a ****. I've watched too much rockets basketball and I have the right to criticize as much as praises.

    According to some, there is no other plan and we should accept that. Let's not question when our team repeatedly tries to jam a square peg in a round hole, and misses damn near 35 3 pointers.
