    Just glad I didn't drive two hours to go to the game. I would be so pissed.

    The defense was oddly slow and non physical tonight.

    Even bum losers like Harden get lucky every once in a while. Hopefully this is a wake up call. Not a good look losing to this crap team.

    They’ll probably give up 40 to the 41 year old in LA.

    After losing to the pelicans, kings, and now Clippers I don’t see how a GM can look at this team and think “this is fine, we’ll be ok”

    If this continues and we barely make it into the playoffs (and get eliminated early), do the Rockets try to trade KD? I don't think we'd get that much in return. I thought the extension was done too early. They should've seen how the 1st half of the season played out before trying to lock him down.

    Guys, I was told Ime was great because he's better than Silas?

    I wonder how many more losses to the worst teams in the league before the clowns who claimed that garbage backtrack from it.

    The KD effect.. Too good to be your #2 but doesn't have the dawg to be your #1.. Sengun is not good enough to be your #1 but has a lil too dawg mentality to be your #2.. Quite the conundrum lol

    Harden has thoroughly outplayed KD. He’s always been the better floor raiser. KD is a bus rider. If he didn’t run to Golden State, KD would be remembered as a taller Carmelo Anthony.
