    Yes we will. Problem is now we have these scrubs thinking they'll win the game. If they came out with the energy they did in the SAS game then they would have only had to play one half and could be joking it up on the bench for most of the second half.

    You let bad teams hang around and they suddenly think it's game 7 of the NBA finals.

    Maybe one day the team will learn this.

    So far another typical ugly grind it out game against Memphis. Both Harden and Lin’s defense was too loose on too many plays. Johnson is 6’9”, which didn’t help whoever switched onto him. Don’t think the team prepared much for him either. Another concern was rebounding…Grizzlies rebounding was so much better, each time the ball was near the basket they had 3 guys going up for it. Asik provided 10 rebounds the last time they played this team.

    we are getting torched by Anderson in 76yers....no surprise there.

    We are really good in boosting rival morale

    Lin has held Conley 2-7 ! If everyone was putting as much effort as him on defense we wouldn't be down.

    We need to feed Dwight more. Shots aren't falling and players are committing schoolboy turnovers.

    Lin needs to wake up. He's given us nothing tonight.

    Does Harden have any self dignity. How do you repeatedly let scrubs and d leaguers like James Johnson and PJ Tucker dominate you.

    Rockets playing down to the competition tonight and making scrubs look like stars... Hopefully they will pick it up in the 2nd half. Harden and Lin are shooting terrible from the field so far. Hopefully that won't continue.

    This team will always be in trouble if Dwight Howard is in foul trouble. They don't have any big dudes out there. A bunch of shorty that don't even know how to box out, let alone rebounding the ball.

    I really hate harden's game.

    So what he can score 50 points with this r****ded ISO gameplay. As long as this noobness goes the rockets will never even come close to the finals.

    This is a terrible offense and a way to bring down the other teammates.

    Asik and Smith are made to play in games with Memphis. Damn, we are really missing them.

    Very ugly first half. TJ played really well finishing and getting blocks. Lin was horrible - bad decision gambling on that D and bad handle. Harden can't see anything else but the rim. That was a really dumb iso play at the end

    Agreed. Totally bumbling everything. He goes off on these long tangents. Keeps saying 'Parsons Chandler'
