    The Rockets had no business winning this game. It was an atrocious performance from the coaching decisions down to the players.

    But don't act like when it got close down the stretch of the 4th the whistles mysteriously found their way in favour in Philadelphia constantly.

    First of all, Ariza and Ryno are NOT NBA starter materials. They need to come off the bench, and honestly I don't think Ariza deserves that many minutes even as a bench player. He's that terrible, seriously.

    Secondly, I know I will get some flak for saying this, but Harden just hasn't been that great since 14-15. Even last year, it was painful to watch him turn the ball over constantly and brick 3s all day. His shooting % are declining every passing year, and honestly if Harden can't get to the line, how good of a player is he? It sucks but maybe it's time for Morey to prepare plan B, because I got a bad feeling about this team this season.

    Looks like an NBA average team.

    13 of 47 from 3...

    47 of our 83 shots from 3...

    only 17 assists...

    this team is borderline unwatchable right now...we have too many limited players and shooters that don’t make shots...

    Lou Will gave us a lot of scoring (not much def though), he almost got 6 man of the year. We miss that a lot

    That's an insanely bad hot take bro.

    We got cp3 Tucker Luc and Tarik black for those 4 guys.

    The depth Isn't the problem.

    the team just isn't playing well at all.

    Only game I thought they played good in was the golden state game.

    Everything else has been just getting by on talent.

    Lucky all the big boys out west are not out to hot starts this season.

    I guess this shortened preseason has effected guys.

    Remember tonight would have been opening night in year past.

    Why do they park the only dynamic guard in the corner? Harden ALWAYS passes right to Ariza. Ariza cant dribble. Harden then stays on that side while EGO watches..

    Capela may have done that crazy alley oop lay up, but we are a + with him on the court, he was +6 tonight.

    According to you the winners of all the playoff games and championship have already been determined so none of this matters anyways

    Well at least we don't have to play the Sixers anymore this season. They're gonna be good.

    Also why are still only playing 8 damn players!? Are we trying to run our team into the ground!?

    Ariza thinks he can dribble though, he would rather pass up open threes to have a dribble in to traffic

    Our team isn't even fun to watch.

    At least be SOMEWHAT good at the thing you're trying to do.

    Instead we let a crap team score 115 and miss open shot after shot all night.

    That Capela alley-oop... man. That was it.

    Hardens defense ironically was the only reason we got there lead down to 1 so I don't know how much you can really blame on him for this one.
