    I don't know why everyone was so high. We didn't play nor beat anyone. We played the Spurs and they sat everyone. We played GS and had no Dwight. Now we are starting to see what we really have. This team isn't really that good. The Grizzlies were our first real comp and we got destroyed. People will say " we didn't have Jones" but come on man. Now we lose to the lakers? If you think this team has any chance at a ring, I want what you're smoking.

    Yup this is 100% on Morey.

    He knew he had garbage inside outside of Howard and Jones and didn't do a damn thing about it during the off season. There were players available he could have targeted and signed or traded for and didn't.

    The Rockets are dangerous at 100% but even 2 injuries to rotation players render them lottery level.

    I'm still in shock that we ran a Black post up coming out of a timeout when we are down by 2. Me shooting a full court shot blindfolded has a better likelihood of making a basket.

    The fact that Black was out there and getting time shows how incompetent our team is. Incompetent bench if that's our best option and an incompetent coach for even having him out there to begin with.

    Anyone have link to post-game interviews? Want to hear McHale's excuses.

    No discipline on offense. Black should have kicked out. No way a scrub take that shot under Pop

    We had a pretty good rotation when we were winning, ball was moving, turnovers were down but then mchale changed it up I guess cz they weren't running his iso play. I ain't even mad, team is not a contender with mchale.

    Mchale is horrible but you can't blame him for the 3 man atrocity that is Black-Dorsey-Dmo.

    Our back up bigs are pathetic. No offensive rebounds, no second chance points, no rim protection, unable to finish at the rim. If Dwight plays the Rockets win in a blow out.

    Speaking of Dwight, his DNP's have been suspicious this year. He misses a game with the flu and then shows up the next day at his movies premiere all smiles and looking completely healthy. Tonight no one knows he's out until minutes before tip off. It just feels like there's more to it than we're being told.

    in all fairness he had good position. and if he would have sunk his freethrows (both) maybe the pressure on the lakers would have turned out differently.

    a lot of it goes back to harden turning the ball over and then giving a lazy foul at the other end. that was the turning point.

    We are the joke of the league

    Almost lost to sixers at home and now lost to possibly the worst team in the WC at home on their back to back on national TV

    Thank you McHale and Morey

    If Silver suspends Dwight, we might as well tank.

    Good coach, good depth and good chemistry is the ingredient to be a title contender.

    Houston is missing Good coach only last year, but all three after Morey's "smart" play.
