    Overall they’ve beaten the bucks Lakers Kings and mavs, lost to the blazers/pacers. I don’t count the spurs game but just looking at shooting today is bothersome especially EG. I don’t think he’s going to come back to the same player ....

    The story of hardens career. Having a guy like Luka play like he does in a rookie deal is a pretty huge advantage.

    Do y’all want MDA to expand the rotation or not? CF always crying that he doesn’t give the young scrub minutes. He played 10 guys today. According to some thread on here, not playing a few more scrubs was what was holding us back from not winning a title...

    yup and did not lose by much.

    We missed so many wide open shots.

    Not gonna have a conniption over it yet, if we cant shoot in the playoffs , well then we will lose

    Thats kinda all there is to it.

    I blame every loss on Gordon even when he doesn’t play.

    Not sure how Harden's teammates can look him in the eye after that game.

    posted this exact same thing. which is it. constant crying if he doesnt, constant crying if he does.

    SO WHICH IS IT

    Rockets win with a shorter rotation: MDA needs to play more guys. So and so is tired and exhausted. Give X, X,X some minutes

    Rockets lose with bigger rotation: Why is so and so playing!!!!!!

    If MDA is playing 10 guys, he is not trying to win a game. MDA is not expanding the rotation. If MDA plays more than 7-8 players in the playoffs something bad has happened.

    If you are going to go small hit you’r damn shots because that defeats the whole purpose. That inability to get the board down two sums up what could be the Achilles of this team in the playoffs besides tje horridly erratic shooting

    MDA expanding the rotation 2 games out from to playoffs doesn't give me hope he was planing on expanding the rotation in the first place.

    tell that to all the people who constantly cry about MDA not expanding the rotation as if giving a few token minutes to some genuine scrubs is what will be the difference between winning a title and getting sent home

    Still dont think the NBA is just going to allow the Lakers and Lebron to lose in the second round. with this loss though Rockets are locked into the the Lakers bracket.
