    I'm sorry but losing a Starter is always a big deal.

    Why is Covington not playing?

    It won't be executed as well if we had proper spacing on the floor and we dont. Did you ever see anyone try and double us with Chris Paul? Of course not.

    What pisses me off is that MDA and Morey both didn’t want to make the deal. Morey even told Harden the deal likely wouldn’t happen and was fine with it.... it was that blowhard arrogant POS Tilman Fertitta that insisted the trade happen.

    There’s no defending this! This was total trash! A must win game and this is what they bring to the table.

    He is the anchor of our defense along with PJ

    Our paint defense has been absolutely awful in the last 3 games. Our bench and the supporting cast hasn't done **** all in the last 3 games. That is the reason we're losing 3-1 in this series.

    I’m trying to root for Rockets but it’s not very fun. Fire Morey and D’Antoni and trade Westbrook and Harden. I bet Rockets could get a great package for Harden and with some good roster changes, they could challenge for the title next year. But it’s clear to me that all 4 of those guys need to go. Harden could probably net Embiid or Simmons plus other pieces in a 3 team deal.

    What? Which 4th quarter? What doubles do you remember? I know some of yall dont like Chris but being doubled is not what did us in last year.

    I knew that would happen. The Clippers are about to close out their series and I knew the Lakers would come out with more of an urgency. They have the killer instinct. The Rockets never have.

    yes, I know the doubles are constant and relentless, but I’d rather see Harden just be selfish out there and force the issue even if it’s with 2 guys on him

    don’t go out with 20 points and 15 shot attempts because of constant double teams...he could attack quicker, but doesn’t
