    Being down by nearly 30 after just 1 quarter didn't make you feel disrespected? It sure did me.

    Lakers: Look like the best team in NBA history.
    Rockets: Look like they don't belong in the NBA

    Guarding Lebron with 6’4 guards is just suicide!

    LOL Are you serious? No they aren’t making the playoffs... a couple days ago I was saying they may not be over .500% this year, especially with Silas the Clown running the show.

    We are not. And we shouldn't.

    Get Harden outta here and try to get a top 4 pick so we can keep it.

    Develop guys like Tate so they can contribute later on

    I don't understand the total lack of pride. Sure, you're gonna miss shots. But to be blown out in the 2nd quarter shows you dont give a damn.

    Agreed. There is no reason to be motivated by the team we have!

    I originally had us making the playoffs as a 6-8th seed, I'm not so sure now.

    If this team went into the play-in tournament they'd give the most lazy effort and we'd end up seeding 10th in the West.

    Silas is a dumpster fire. You would think he would adjust the starting lineup if it isn't working, especially against the exact same team. Nope, still the same MDA tendencies.

    I think we could have had Patrick Fertitta as head coach and we would be in the same situation. Should have saved the money Tilman

    Priority no 1. Avoid being a lottery team.

    Harden does not want to be that guy for us anymore. Time to move on.

    Westbrook and Silas wanted Ty Lue... Tilman wouldn’t spend the money.
