    Just some comparisons for y'all, the magical 2017-18 Rockets had a 114.2 Offensive Rating.

    We literally turn every team we face into a better offense than the best offense in franchise history.

    Did you watch?

    If you get outplayed by Isaiah Hartenstein -> Bruno Fernando gets to play the last 9 minutes when you're down 30.

    I don't make the rules.

    But those are the rules.

    So Wood returns and the team looks awful again. Weird.

    Be patient. This is a development season and it's still early.
    I'm confident we'll crack 117.5 DRTG this time next year.

    Good loss, but still somehow not the worst record in the league.

    That seven game win streak remains a huge front office blunder.

    oh i thought it was the stamina?
    what happened to stamina argument?
    or it was just a bs all along to defend the racist clueless coach?

    Y'all the solution to your rockets watching vows are simple. I was just blessed with a new born last month and since then if I get to watch any game it's always just the first half. Games are most always within reach at the end of the first half so I never have a terrible taste in my mouth. Just watch the first half.

    Can you guess which 3 of the 5 starters posted Box +/- of -20 or more? Hint, not one of the 3 was named Wood.

    And Wood barely played, logged the least minutes of all the starters and less than some rotation players.

    Of course Wood was out last game where opposing team also put up 125 points and over 30 pts per quarter.

    Point your finger at the real culprits, the coaching staff.

    Sit Wood or any other Rocket you want to set ablaze and the results will still be the same, historically putrid defense and at least one quarter where offense goes to shyte.

    Embarrassing defense.

    Silas should be ashamed.

    Ownership is trying to alienate fans preparatory to a move to another state. Getting it done, too.

    The defense was definitely bad last night.

    But team was able to keep up offensively.
