    I was pretty surprised at how bad Steven Adams looked in that lineup. He and Carmelo obviously are a bad fit and losing Roberson really diminishes their bench.

    If they don't start pulling in the same direction they might even miss the playoffs.

    OKC missing the playoffs would be hilarious

    What does the schedule matter when you’re the best team in the West? Doesn’t really look like the Rockets care who the opponent is. Just get out there and grind for a W. We could win out... schedule isn’t that hard. We don’t have GSW anymore. I see an @toronto and @Portland that are scary but that’s it.

    Russ is OKC Kryptonite. Dude cant play with anyone. Harden and Durant left his ass, Oladipo is a stud after he left, amd melo and pg13 were way better before becoming his teammates...

    Russ is indeed OKC's Kryptonite, however Melo was struggling mightily in NY, PG13 was doing better in
    Indiana about a year ago.

    I hadn't seen OKC play much up until now but Melo looks like a shell of himself, he doesn't seem to fit on that team too well. They'll be a good matchup for anyone but I think we can handle em especially since they've lost Roberson for the year who could've possibly gave Harden issues.

    Who cares what these guys say. They keep spewing all this BS and the Rockets continue to make them look like fools.

    Baron Davis enjoys giving his fellow UCLA alum RW love.

    WTF is Baron talking about. Stupid timing considering we were handling OKC comfortably at half time. He wasn't watching the game, or he anticipated that speech for a half time where OKC was winning.
    Plus, is he saying Presti purposely built that team, with no chemistry, to stop a Rox team with chemistry that is GSW-tier good? STFU.

    If OKC settles into their current path of .500 ball for the rest of the year, they look very vulnerable and volatile. The Jazz and Clippers would have to play better, though, than they have in the last 2 weeks and earn some tough wins to go past OKC in the standings.

    The most likely scenario is OKC and GS in the first round which would be a rout. At that point, the soap opera would really pick up steam as OKC tries to convince everyone to stay and add pieces. I just don't see that working out since there is no team oriented culture.

    Presti will never get over trying to build a team around Westbrook instead of Harden. That was a decade changing, franchise crippling mistake.

    Considering at worst Harden is a top 4 or 5 player and significantly better then Westbrook yeah.

    OKC plays terrible defense, poor shot selection and their bench is terrible. They're their own kryptonite. If we're fully healthy, the only two teams to worry about in the playoffs are the Warriors and Spurs with a healthy Leonard.

    If they had traded Westbrook instead of Harden, Durant would still be there, and they would probably have at least one title. Not only was Harden a more willing team player, Wesbrook also had more trade value.

    It would have been a huge sack move at the time, but in hindsight that's clearly what they should have done.

    Gotta say something when your LA team is irrelevant and you’ll find most NBA players are not the brightest of the bunch, hard to take most of them seriously and why most former players are horrible coaches and dumb analysts.

    what about last night for a kryptonite. Baron Davis is perhaps referring to another OKC or he is watching a different game.

    But but but the Rockets have the slowest pace in the entire NBA during this streak..
    Davis obviously doesn't watch Rockets games and doesn't do homework before showing up on national tv.
    Most players only analysts are just lazy and dumb lol

    Some of us, heck, probably a bunch of us here who aren't 20-something years old (not that there's anything wrong with that!) have watched literally hundreds of Rockets games over the years. Why did I bring that up? Yeah, you guessed it. Out of all those games, this ranks as the worst broadcast team I've ever seen (and heard, worse luck). The worst. We should all contact TNT and raise hell about this abomination so they won't do it again! I'm not sure my brain could handle another one of these, where there is no other option calling the game that actually works. No time delay or whatever.

    We did not deserve this! No one deserved this. Whoever dreamed up the idea needs to be fired.
