    We’re just not good enough.
    Today.

    that WILL change but need to hit rock bottom first.
    Trust the process.

    If we kept Allen then the Brooklyn package made a lot more sense. Still don't understand why we let him go so cheaply

    Your expectations were set too high on this roster. It’s not like a rebound relationship with this team. Silas is a good coach. Our roster sucks not talent wise... we’re just all injured. Healthy = win streak
    Injured = losing streak
    Not complicated. We heal up we’re gonna be watchable to good next year. Yule C!

    They both suck but the Rockets are a couple of bounces away from .. turning the corner!
    I forgot we had that guy. He did record an 80.4 PER in his second season, in 1 minutes played.

    if those BK picks don’t end up becoming premium picks, we would have traded Harden for hardly anything of substance

    the addition of Oladipo in the trade was basically the equivalent of extra napkins in the Whataburger bag

    You're blind.

    This starting 5 (without Wood) and its coach is an embarrassment.

    Add to the fact that both back court starters are refurbished and can’t even play every night due to their past injuries. No way you can win consistently with 2/3 of your so called big 3 in and out of the lineup.

    Might be the worst back to back losses I can remember, this team looks like a used punching bag... I know its only 2 losses but this might be who they really are, Wood & Oladipo aren't changing that unfortunately

    Because Stone valued a super low FRP (Bucks) more than JA.

    He is dumb AF.

    with no wood (hehe), the rockets don't have a big that can score inside. cousins can't do nothing but chuck 3's at this point. and PJ can't score inside if his life depended on it.

    Because they were going to trade him for FRP any ways. He would have been a rental, 100%, we were not going to pay him what some other team will.

    I feel like Kaz from MGSV right about now: "Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"

    rumor was he was looking at at least 20 mil/yr on his next contract
