    That's a fair point I guess, but no, some of his turnovers were from very lazy passes. Stupid plays. Pass to the guy right next to you, not the opposite side of the court

    I understand you're a Realist (see what I did there) , but show a little faith! You just saw the Rockets beat Dallas short-handed.. It's like fans find ways to doubt the Rockets so if they come up short it will soften the blow...

    THEY WERE PLAYING WITHOUT THREE F-ING STARTERS.

    Once people realize no one cares if the Rockets are injured the better it will be on Clutchfans... Rockets, even without their starters should have easily won, but got silly in the end. When will "We dont have 3 starters!" stop being an excuse? Rockets still have to win games with whoever is available.

    An 82 game season is like a 7 game series: it's a test of the whole roster.

    No excuses.

    Any word on the severity of Black's injury? He actually looked decent today.

    Seems like we are catching a lot of teams on the back end of their B 2 B off late - Fakers, Mavs and soon our D league affiliate Kings.

    Rockets got to take advantage of these situations because over the season they will even out and we will have to go to tough places on a B 2 B

    This post makes zero sense. This rockets team is one of the weakest in terms of overall depth and they lose 3 starters yet you still expect them to be an elite team still? Your expectations are too high...look at the active roster minus Harden, would be top 5 in the lottery for sure.

    Actually it looked pretty good in the 2nd quarter, but in the 4th, it was not the same unit on the floor....

    In the 2nd quarter they used Papa and Dmo's movement to set up the offense in the 4th....Garcia and Terry were hogging the ball and not doing much.

    Just needs to stick with players that move, and run a motion offense when Harden is out.

    You are assuming Howard is out Wednesday?

    Wasn't Dallas a guaranteed loss?

    Defense will take you a long way.

    Clippers have not really spread the floor well this season and it shows in their record.

    Milwaukee is poorly coached and terrible in a half court set.

    Hard to predict the Rockets record in the next 3.

    what hte hell? dude this is the nba. u cant just lose three starters and expect to win many games, in the brutal west. three starters is a huge deal, esp if one of them is dwight. if dmo can keep up his play, losing jones for a year wont cost rockets much. but rockets are gonna need dwight. if that knee doesnt heal soon december is gonna be brutal. lets see if the rockets can beat a good team with half its production sitting out

    Another day/game, more complaining from the opposing fans, media and/or team about Harden.

    Not [one of] the most hated players for nothing. ;)
