    ? We got rid of cancer iso harden, but we need those exact three for the team ball u been slobbering over about? stop moving dem goal post. The coach and the system still there, it just didn't give us the win.

    No fkin way should we get blown out by the hornets regardless of who we are missing.

    Definitely, the effort looked to be there from the Rockets but they did not have enough.

    Oladipo HAD to carry the team like Lamelo did for the Hornets and he was just bad tonight.

    Rox look like a garbage dump without Wood, he gets so little credit dude has an all star level impact on this team.

    Dipo just been playing worse and worse 39% FG man thats like WB nos.

    Dipo is disappointing. But come on people did you guys really expect to win this game with even Gordon and Wall out?!! Not a single playmaker in this team with these guys out. What did you want coach to adjust with when top 3 players are out?! Stop overreacting and give coach a break. There was very high probability for Rockets to lose tonight. At least they kept the game close up to 3 quarters which was also surprising.

    That's because you played Boogie and BMac too many minutes.

    Yes, because Dipo wants the max. I was waiting for him to carry the team like a maximum paid star.

    That's how I feel. I don't understand why people keep making the comments about Harden like the Rockets are losing at full strength. They haven't

    We really can't do much without a full squad. Just go playmaker whatsoever

    I would rather aim to get the W after the L they had vs the Spurs and worry about the load management when they played the Nets or Philly. The good news is there are only 3 back to backs left for the first half of the season.
    Need a second pg asap or they all will be loses. Feels like a headache watching these other guys run an offense.

    NO is a trash team man if these were the Lakers, Clippers etc then it wouldnt be a bad loss.

    Game was close because both teams were scrubs. If Dipo wasnt playing like WB and PJ Tucker wasnt 0fer and Silas made the right subs then Rox would have won. It was a winnable game even without Wood, EG and Wall thats why this loss was disappointing.

    Good loss.
    We got to lose games like this if we are going to get that top 5 pick.

    That offensive rebound by Cody when we down one possesion and he was surround by four rockets and even boxed out was the backbreaker. I want to trade Tucker jsut because I’m at my wits end with being small and over blistered. We’ve been a weak defensive rebounding team since Ariza left. Get some freaking height quickness and athleticism.

    No loss is good. Did you watch the game to root for us to lose? Losses can have an effect that may benefit us, but come with other effects as well. We are not like the 96 Spurs team.

    Wonder if that list of so called non-Rockets fans aka realists , will multiply ... Our WOW trio won't play 20 games together... Unfortunate but likely
