    The Rockets need to sit down and take a deep breath.

    They really need to settle down. We need to focus and take a shot.
    They are getting worked in every aspect of the game

    Offense
    Defense
    Rebouding

    We have 11 wins. We really need 40 more wins.
    40-17. That is truly a Tall Order.
    29-28 would leave us at 40-42 - Which is ridiculously unacceptable.

    I generally don't worry until the All Star Break
    but
    We really don't have that much time . . . ..

    IF they plan to make the playoffs. . .they have to start NOW!!!

    This team will sneak into the playoffs get bounced early and we will all wonder who the next big name will join us in the offsesson and we will rinse and repeat until the team is out from under Pauls contract.

    I'm hoping Morey finds a couple of 3 point specialists and makes the season enjoyable at least. This season so far is unbearable.

    Insult to injury? $21??!! $21 bucks for a freaking chicken tender basket (average at best) and a Coke at TC this season. You should be ashamed Tilman.

    this team isn’t gonna do anything of significance this year...the season was over the minute we missed out on Jimmy Butler

    we’re sitting here talking about all these role player acquisitions with our assets that nobody really wants...role players aren’t saving this

    I’ll continue to watch and go to games because I love the team, but yeah, the season is a wrap

    it all comes down to the final game of regular season..we would win that game and sneak into the 8th seed..
    worriers stomps us with a healthy cousins 4-0...
    MDA and Morey get fired after exited interviews...
    Rudy Tomjanovich comes out of retirement after Tilman and his mob come to his house..
    Harden will be shipped back to L.A.
    CP joins his bro lebrick and melo in fakers

    we start fresh again!

    A hell of a lot of Ls.

    That's what I'm expecting in the last 57 games with this 'team'.

    If Morey can pull a rabbit out of his ass—er, hat, then perhaps we can manage as high as the sixth seed.

    This team is in a deep malaise. Ariza, Moute, and Anderson were turned into James Ennis. Ugh. I just want a reason to watch the games. At least give me that, Rockets.

    I think I'm progressing through the stages of grief. At first I was reasoning, bargaining, etc, calling for change. Now I find that avoidance makes me the most happy.

    Phase 1
    11-14

    Phase 2 (key to make the playoffs, as good as Raptors)
    24-8
    Before all star break

    Phase 3 (rest Paul 5 games)
    12-13

    Total 47-35 (8th seed)

    is avoidance the same as acceptance? I've accepted the Rockets aren't good now I'm avoiding the NBA.

    Not breaking news at all. It was common knowledge a few days ago.

    Why is Stein just now reporting on this?

    Lost season; Wasted season
    They'll barely make it in and get bounced in the first;
    or they'll barely miss out and get a pick in the 10-14 range (...that's if it's not traded for minor "help" like Kevin McDaniels Jr., Terrence Williams, Jordan Hamilton err I guess this year someone like J.R. Smith)

    Right now, I'd lean towards them not making it.
