    Wizards shot what, 60%? And how about the Cavs the other night? Rockets couldn't stay in front of Jordan Clarkson and Sexton. Is Reggie Jackson Kobe Bryant ?

    If you don't rotate the right way, if you play defense with no effort, hoping NBA players will miss shots these are the results you will get.

    Going on vacation starting Thursday. Nice little trip to Puerto Vallarta. A week away from the Rockets. I need it because this is a s*** show, a clown car. I know the three contracts of Harden, Paul, and Capela made it tough to fill out the roster, but my God.

    Unwatchable. The worst.

    Hear ya but he sucked up all the money to add pieces...and I see the gamble but it will be a badly losing one I'm afraid. I don't have a vendetta against CP3 but ROI for the next 4 years will be severely lacking. This is year 1 of 4.

    Lack of depth is alarming .Harden had a few turnovers late but they were becuse he was trying making plays.overall he was outstanding . Eric was great as well. We had a combination Clark,House and Isiah as our bench players tonight. One guy signed last night from the G league, undrafted rookie and late second round pick who is 20. Let that sink in. That is how bad our bench is. To score 131 despite of all that speaks of Hardens greatness and Eric playing amazing.

    Also Chriss and MCW are horrible...Two wasted roster spots

    You are right, the season isn’t over but it may be soon. The Rockets have to add depth and it is out there in trade, but it requires a GM accepting reality.

    I heard that Dantoni doesn't practice this team that much relative to other teams due to preferring rest .

    Maybe he needs to rethink that?

    This year's team is fools gold. Flawed in too many ways to fix with one buyout/trade season. Morey has to identify consistent 3 point shooters if this system is going to work bargain shopping and hoping for outlier years from marginal players is too arrogant an approach.

    It won't be that bad if we tank this year to get him.

    U can't go back & forth when you look stupid. We're supposed to be better without Carmelo right? He was hurting the team correct?

    Fun fact: We currently have the worst scoring bench in the NBA along with being the worst rebounding team.

    Melo: scorer/good rebounder

    CP3 wanted his money, and I have zero issue paying him. He makes a massive difference. The problem is the poor job Morey has done putting the pieces around him and the poor job developing young players MDA has done.

    Jeff Bzdelick is the Josh Smith of the season. We thought everything was going to be OK after he was was brought back.. But Rockets still suck just like in the 15-16 season..

    He’s not coming back after the team sent him home as a “stop gap” move.

    He has flexibility and tradable assets. He has chosen to hold out for a star rather than add 3-4 guys like Morris, etc.
