Not hard to play your best game when the other team lets you waltz down the lane and get wide open shot after wide open shot. The Rockets just didn't care about this game, and it resulted in an embarrassing loss. And OKC tomorrow? Hope they show up, or that'll get ugly.
Still time left in the year to gel, but I've been waiting for this team to convince me they're a real contender for over a month now and I'm still waiting. Games like this do not help. Harden doing all he can, but not getting any support from the rest of the starters, and atrocious defense everywhere.

I'm slowly falling off the McHale bandwagon. Ever since he got that contract this team has been pretty mediocre.
Class by olapido. Could have easily don't another highlight dunk since no one got back. Bev is the weak link of this team, especially in the starting lineup. He is a back-up with no point guard instincts. His aggression on defense makes him a liability because he doesn't play smart. If this team wants to compete, we need an upgrade at starting point.
