    Harden is one of the most talented players with the least heart that I can remember.

    The grass is not always greener on the other side. I know we all were ready for a change from Mike D, but **** lol.

    I love the Rockets so its hard not to be emotional about this.

    Cue the Missing U Mike D from @Carl Herrera

    We're back to being a terrible organization folks. Welcome back to the Steve Francis days!

    I'm counting down the days until the Australian NBL starts. Suddenly I'm all in on the Perth Wildcats again

    I’m waiting for a reason why are are still getting our ass kicked without PJ. Harden is also not shooting well but both of them are still trying. Both of them are surrounded by dudes who either can’t shoot or can’t defend or both

    Mike's team right now isn't tearing up the lead and they have 10x more talent than we do. It's not his head coaching role or anything but still...we can't act like we almost beat this Laker team last playoff. They embarrassed us last season in the playoffs too. Toyed with us.

    After the first game Lebron cooly says "We saw what they have." and then they proceeded to spank us.

    D'Antoni and Morey have dumbed down the Rockets players to where all they know how to do is stand around. For them to relearn how to play basketball without standing around is going to take time.

    Harden looked out of sorts in the 3rd quarter. Missed 3 open layups and 2 open 3pt shots.

    Not saying Harden is not trying, but I don't think his heart in it anymore. Not surprising considering our team looks absolutely awful. Plus, we have a player who clearly wanted to leave 5 weeks ago. Keeping him is only hurting us.

    Told y’all after Morey y’all would be wishing to go back to winning 50+ games and winning at least a playoff series.

    Enjoy that ball movement tho...

    Cyberpunk. Nobody outside of the Rockets fanbase had expectation for this 20-21 team. If you really look at it from a non-bias point of view, there really arent much talent on this team.
