    LOL you act like a one supertstar team owes you multiple rings

    blame morey, les, the whole rockets org, and the city for not being attractive/rich enough to build a superteam like gsw

    even lebron & the cavs effort last year didn't stop gsw from sweeping them

    Yes. Sad how the Santa Fe High School shooting was such a big story showing how the Rockets players felt bad and spoke out on it then game time comes and they get beat by 41 points. What team does this?

    I wonder how OKC fans would treat their team if its led by Harden & Cp3

    Wonder how these rockets "fans" would feel if their team is led by WB

    We did build a super team, at least physically. Our guys are mentally weak. If you can't see a pattern with these guys, I don't know what to tell you.

    Did you watch the playoffs last year, or any other year?

    While I agree with your overall sentiment, OP, I have to say you've loaded your post to make it seem like this problem is some epidemic sweeping ClutchFans:

    "Many posters (not some, not a few, but MANY!) on this site lose their minds (not resent it, or get irritated, but they TOTALLY LOSE THEIR MINDS!)when you are the least bit critical (not strongly or even moderately critical, but THE LEAST BIT!) of the Rockets and it makes no sense to me."

    That said, the two kinds of things that personally irritate me enough to get sarcastic with the poster are: 1) overreaction to a bad game by the team or some players, and 2) overblown talk about how we're not even in the same league as our opponent.

    People who can’t handle criticism of the team aren’t real fans. I learned that many many years ago. I just laugh them off now.

    What if effort is the real problem and not strategy? This happens fairly often with the rockets. In fact, the absolute most accurate way to describe last nights **** show would be lack of effort. If you are seeing that word a lot, there is probably a reason.

    When warranted, smart constructive criticism is fine and encouraged in my opinion.

    Knee jerking, ignorance, and trolling is not.

    @vlaurelio will accuse you of being a Mavs fan if you do!

    It's fine to complain, but I think some need to adjust their expectations.

    Rockets cruised through the entire league and did what they were expected to do. That should be celebrated. But expecting them to beat this Warriors team is simply not reasonable. The deck is too stacked against them. The Rockets not being able to handle this team is not an indictment on Harden/Paul/Morey/D'Antoni/etc.

    That's the brilliant thing. YOU get to decide. You skip over the flotsam and dive into the pointed analysis.
