    Any team with good three point shooters willing to shoot will give the Rockets trouble.

    Kings, Brooklyn... Detroit.

    I hope the coaching staff makes a point to stress to the Rockets not to leave their shooters.

    Harden has the best floater in the league...he only started using it heavily 2 years ago

    GOAT James

    Could lose his minutes if he doesn't improve when EG is back

    Griffin is hurt, make him run for his points and shoot outside.

    It's just worrying seeing teams like the Lakers and Bucks blowing teams like Detroit out by 20+ on a consistent basis and the Rockets are barely hanging on against these type of teams.

    I thought the Warriors being dismantled would open our window but man I just don't see this roster beating those two teams in a 7 game series.

    Pretty sad that House has turned into a total scrub. How long can you use the "flu excuse?" Dude needs to man up and step up his game. The frustrating thing is that their defense is not very good (yes, it can be good at times, but homers are fooling themselves if you don't think most mediocre defenses can't put together good defensive stretches). Until their defense becomes consistently good, I'm not really buying this team no matter what injury excuses are out there.

    When defenders have their arms behind them to taunt Harden's ref baiting why doesn't he just drive by them?

    Luke Kennard is doing whatever he wants out there, this needs to stop.

    Harden has taken any ft's in a game without Westbrook.

    The best way for a scrub to shine? Play the Houston Rockets!
