    Morey’s job has got to be on the line.

    I’m just waiting to see a tweet from Woj: Harden request trade from Rockets

    I wish you had something to do with the Rockets organisation, at least then one person would be ashamed in that sh*t show.

    Jimmy doesn't handle the Denver air well. Has kinda looked gassed since his crazy 1st quarter.

    Game was f-ed over by that ref. If Harden is clearly fouled... call the damn foul! possible 6 pt gm turns into a19+ lead lol smh

    Ego and Cp3 are both made of glass... it's absurd what we got from them last season.

    Can't wait for Capela to return to the lineup. This defense is so soft without a shot blocker in the paint.

    I bet they wouldn't have scored 80 points in the first half if he had been in. He would have blocked some of those shots, or at least made them more difficult than our shorties could.

    Nuggets shooting what like 60% from 3? All game long lol...that’s the hurracanrana. That’s what we try to do to people.

    Hartenstein getting minutes, is nene dead or did morey demand showcasing?

    Hart, Clark and house getting less minutes than they should considering they’ve needed help at center, forward and guard this year. Weird.

    Denver's ability to find good players in the G league and with middling draft picks is some stark evidence that Morey's model needs work.

    There's no substitute for youthful enthusiasm...

    No it isn't man. Mike doesn't have the personnel to be better.

    What do you want him to do, play Harstein, play Clark? Neither one of those guys are going to do jack ****.

    We don't have the personnel nor the health.

    Nah, stop the stat chasing. The longer this pointless streak goes, the worse it is for developing better team play.

    Just rest him. No point. They aren't coming back from 18 down.

    Nuggets built this team from the ground up, drafting well and signing good role players.

    Morey built this team by landing James Harden and surrounding him with injury prone aging stars.

    Warriors built their team from the ground up, drafting extremely well and adding All-NBA players.

    Harden just looks like he's completely exhausted.

    Maybe just Mile High City stuff, but I'd hope he'd show up with at least a little bit of energy to continue the stretch of games he's had.

    The rockets don't belong in prime time!

    ESPN need to save prime time for the real teAms like Lakers or clippers. Shiet! Portland, GS!

    Nobody got time for far"weed"!!

    Denver shooting 67% for the game. That’s like shooting in practice with nobody guarding you at all. This team. Good Lord...
