    Our offense is so good even with random undrafted players. Defense is just awful. Can't win like this. Harden is legit top 3 player still

    You realize Rockets played with Tate, Sterling Brown, Nwaba, Brodric Thomas and Caboclo right? Sure the bucks and nets are superior to Blazers but GSW isnt running around with 8 man rotation 5 undrafted dudes either.

    I'm arguing Curry is a fake superstar since he needs other superstars to do something. Harden is showing even if you have trash teammates, if you are a real superstar you will still show up and not get outplayed by Wiseman.

    Also, Tucker completely messed Harden right up there. Why didn't he stay in the corner? He normally just stays in the corner for the wide open 3. Was he that scared to pass up a wide open shot for the game?

    The only person I blame this loss on is House. Terrible defense and offense. Silas dumb decision making in OT having him in over Nwaba.

    Sat and watched the whole game. He's too small to be jumping up for rebounds in the paint.

    And you upped his rebounds after he lost the ball immediately afterwards? Wow...

    I'm not mad

    It being so close was great

    Let's get Wall Gordon and Cousins back.
    Let Harden get into shape.

    Let's run it back this season.
    Wood looks great.

    Agreed. He was a closer tonight. Those instances- final moments of the game or overtime - are the only times I want him ISOing. He was a finisher tonight. Ben Simmons wouldn't be able to do that.

    Way to insult the guy who even made it a game to begin with. Fans like you are the dumb ****s. Probably stack shelves in Walmart! Never achieved a ****en thing yourself. Clown

    Rockets need to trade for Aaron Gordon.

    Come on, we are missing over half of our rotation.

    Wall
    Boogey
    EGo

    Would have made a massive difference.

    this average team was missing 4 rotation players including their 3/5 of their best players. Imagine Portland playing without McCollum, Roco and Melo.

    To be fair, Harden was trying to throw it to Wood when he drew 3 defenders to end the 4th. Just unfortunate that Covington disrupted that pass enough to make Harden push out of bounds.

    He is an SF 6'6 is small for sf but it isnt that small. He had 4 tos and 11 rebs. Subtract the 4 tos he still got 7 which again is decent rebs for an sf.
