    This is the 2015/16 season all over again, when the Rockets could not stop anyone. Harden/Paul will carry the team to a 6th or 7th seed on pure talent alone only to get whooped in the Playoffs.

    I think we have no energy out there, they're obviously making shots but it's a lot easier when you play against poor resistance...Rockets look so slow and weak...at least to me.

    Wrong day for Mirotic and Randle deciding to play like All stars.

    Man you guys really knee jerk lol. I am unhappy with some things I've seen this game, but Pelicans are ****ing hitting everything as well. Some of it has been due to bad defense (idiotic double teams on Davis for example) but others they are just hitting.

    Capella is worthless pretty on D against AD and pretty much always has been, he is almost just about worthless on O against this team w/ with no jumper or outside shot to speak of. This is going to likely be an ugly loss and may be the sign of worse things to come ... Wish I saw something to give me a little optimism but the optics here are all pretty bad.

    According to this game, Double the Offense with Melo and we win the 'SHIP

    People are really underestimating the loss of our defensive coach. No discipline whatsoever.

    This is a team that just expected it all to happen again, they look slow and uninterested. This has the all the feelings of being a very long season based on expectations.
