    Rockets are about to go on a losing streak. Harden is about to calm down for a few weeks then he will be hot again.

    What's a mid-range jump shot?

    Lol Pablo better be practicing those threes.

    Really hope KJ plays. Supplant Ariza/Brewer when they aren't shooting. He can't shoot well but he can dunk and run the floor.

    DMo has been really bad these past few games. Probably tired. These are the most minutes he has had to play in the NBA. Gotta hope someone steps up other than Harden.

    Lmaoooo.... honestly it's all on Mc****ingFailing****ingMcHale. He can't coach for ****. He sits players aka Dorsey when they are playing well. And we rely on too much ****ing horsing around. Honestly my frustration isnt just for tonight, it's for all the seasons we've had with McHale. It's not fair. Nobody on our team can score, or create for them self except Harden. This is why we will lose year in and year out unless we get someone who can mimic Harden or at least create for him... creating doesn't mean just pass him the ball up top.

    You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if the Rox come back and win this game, but that's beside the point because I don't think the Mavs are a contender anyway. But the Rox don't appear to have any real chance against real contenders in a series. Harden will have to be MJ to get this team even out of the first round. It's just disheartening because you want to have hope but this team is too flawed.

    we are in huge trouble NOW

    we're gonna drop in the standings as the contenders make their charge

    Harden is also likely to drop from the MVP conversation SMH

    Morey should have gone all in on Dragic. The Pels pick and Jones and Canaan/Papa

    A rental--as long as it takes us deep into the playoffs

    Morey did a fantastic job getting up D12 and of course Harden.. I'm beginning to question his ability to surround Harden with the proper talent for his philosophy. There have been ample people available. His fascination with "being flexible" interferes with bbuilding a proper team. Also he ****ed up big time with McHale.

    Whelp... it is a disappointing to be outscored 54-35 after going up 8-0...

    I came in with my wife and a couple friends to an 8-0 lead and was like SWEET!

    THEN Houston makes only 2 jumpers the whole rest of the half. Seriously...so many wide open jumpers. These guys are pro ballers right?

    Trying to just have fun at the live game, but these guts sure do make it tough in Dallas.

    I've seen them win once here since 2002. Sigh.

    lol well I'm sure if Morey got some top 3 picks, he would draft a whole lot better.

    mudiay and russell will be top 5 selections, we wont get a pg this draft worth a damn unless its some euro that weve never heard of in the 2nd round

    i would have given up that pels pick for a guy like brandon knight and signed him in the offseason.... would have been perfect next harden

    We need to start clicking on all cylinders on offense. Dallas got blew the F out last night. Run their butts into the ground.

    Honestly the Rockets remind me this year of the 2011 Mavs.........they needed dirk to carry them and that is the same with Rockets.....the defense is there and plays can get hot but it all comes down to Harden like it did Dirk

    Funny thing is if we had gotten Dragic and we played like this, people would be accusing Dragic of destroying this team.

    Y'all are never happy or at least accepting of the process. Always has to be successful right at this moment.
