    Smith might be a chemistry killer, Dwight might still be injured or disinterested, the whole team might be giving up easily....

    Ugly basketball, and the 3s are not falling

    Let me just say this again because it bears repeating. The Rockets have the least number of playoff series victories of ANY NBA FRANCHISE since 1997(that would be the one against the Blazers in 2009). Let me repeat. We are the worst franchise in the league in terms of postseason success over the last 17(now going on 18) years.

    The only franchises tied or worse than us are the Bobcats/Hornets who've only been in existence since 2004 so they barely count and the Raptors who've only been around since 1995 and are all but guaranteed to win their 2nd(and possibly 3rd and 4th) playoff series this season.

    Portland was the best match up for Howard. He should have dominated. He was good but after a dominant first half, he disappeared in the second half of almost every game.

    I'm just so tired of watching this Howard play right now. Zero effort.

    Smith signing!

    I said in the off season that we'd miss Lin and Parsons' playmaking, even with their other faults.

    I knew we were going to be in for a long night when Smith threw up a three in the first.

    This.

    The team was playing MUCH BETTER with Howard being absent for nearly a whole month. That guy has super talent, but is playing with no fire whatsoever. Maybe Kobe had a point to make irt to Howard.

    Most of us, including I got carried away early ignoring the soft competition early days. The competition has risen, our flaws have been exposed. And now they have lost all there heart.

    Down 30+ points to a team that isnt even above .500. Embarassing

    Team hasn't looked the same since signing Josh Smith. Didn't we score 74 points or something in the 1st half against Portland a game before Josh Smith got here?

    Reminds me of when the Patriots lost to Kansas City a few months ago. Could be a blessing in disguise.

    Let's be real with ourselves. This game could go either way.

    Given the history of this franchise, that's disgusting.
