I mean come on man . When it rains it ****ing pours I guess . We had a great run last year and so far this year we are paying the price for it . Why is it that we can't catch a break . Even in our win we get a player suspended. I know this is premature.... but it seems like we always have such an uphill battle . The astros won the World Series last year ... is that our H-town title for the next 20 years ? I don't know the extent of hardens injury . But I dunno how MDA is gonna rally his troops this year . I feel like this is tilmans fault . I just don't like his vibe.
Well the off-season moves drove this poor start, when you are within 1 game of a NBA final you don't let 2 of your best rotational player go. Obv there were circumstances that you just couldn't control as a GM but we couldn't replace them with equal talent I feel. I don't know, it's still early days. I will take a slow and cold start to the regular season to a strong finish any day of the week.
yep, it's a sad day when you have the most hope for the Texans out of the 3 major sports teams in Houston
If they suck ... it's due to coaching and not the talent on the team . Harden dragged a team with Ariza, DMO , Beverley , T jones , kostas papanikolao , a decrepit Jason terry , Corey brewer, and 41 healthy ish games from Dwight to 56 wins and the 2 seed . Then in 16/17 he took Ryan , Clint , bev , and Trevor , and Gordon to the #3 seed . This year we have CP3 . Unless harden misses 20+ games to injury anything less than 55 wins is an inexcusable regular season performance. Yes we all care about the playoffs but you've got to set yourself up to have success there first . Mike has a great system , but he's inflexible and that might cost us until either he adjusts or guys start playing better
We should be 3-1. I’m not too worried.. A move will need to be made at some point but we will have more than enough to get rolling assuming Harden is fine
I mean, the Astros just made the ALCS with its two star position players with extremely grating injuries. No reason to not still be excited about their outlook the next 3-5 years.
Dealt a weird blow with the Laker fight on top of a schedule that is seeing us face 4 straight teams who will be fighting for the playoffs. I hate playing the Clippers, they are so damn feisty.
It just feels like everything than can go wrong has gone wrong . Things fluctuate over the course of the season ... but I feel like all of our new pickups are playing as bad as they can . Paul got suspended . Now harden is hurt . Clint has disappeared. Gordon also MIA. Clint had bad games last year . But I dunno if he had 4 games this bad in a row .... and the same goes for Eric . Just as ennis was seeming to get a bit more comfortable and making his 3's .... he gets hurt . Just bullshit luck all arojnd
Almost like losing in the Conference Finals haunts them the following season. 1976-77 49-33 L ECF 1977-78 28-54 1996-97 57-25 L WCF 1997-98 41-41 L WC 1st round 2014-15 56-26 L WCF 2015-16 41-41 L WC 1st round 2017-18 65-17 L WCF 2018-19 1-3 ? ???
Hey, according to that trend, we'll still make the playoffs. Something to smile about. 1st round exit, here we come!
