    It almost feels post-apocalyptic in Texas. No power or water, abnormal snow, bitter citizens huddled around whatever heat there is in the dark, trading stories of the good old days.

    Same crap teams hogging the tanking positions every year man!
    Timberwolves
    Cavs
    Pistons give me a break. You should not deserve the top five lottery spots if it your third repeating year in a row.

    Something to build on? I just don’t know anymore. I just watched a video of people in Houston huddled around water spouting out of the ground with buckets and I can’t help, but make the correlation that this is similar to what it’s like being a Rockets and Texans fans right now. Desperation and doing whatever needs to be done to survive. We just want a little water damnit. Is that too much to ask for?

    Oh yeah and I’m sick and tired of hearing John Wall say he’s the leader of the team every other interview.

    I missed the game earlier so I'm watching the replay. I know they lost but I couldn't miss my chance to yell and scream obscenities at the screen.

    I was late to the party but u noticed there's no Sucka and Creepo tonight. Something is brewing guys. Let's shake things up before I start agreeing with the "tank" crowd.

    Im sure john is a helluva player, but my fear is his game is not the winning basketball type. the more i see him play, the more im proven right.

    2021 first round draft pick from Portland
    Portland's 1st round pick to Houston protected for selections 1-14 in 2021, 1-14 in 2022, 1-14 in 2023, 1-14 in 2024, 1-14 in 2025, 1-14 in 2026 and 1-14 in 2027; if Portland has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Houston by 2027, then Portland will instead convey its 2027 2nd round pick to Houston [Houston-Portland, 11/22/2020]; Houston may convey this pick to Brooklyn in 2021 (see Houston Incoming)

    2021 first round draft pick to Oklahoma City (swap, Oklahoma City or Miami incoming)
    Oklahoma City will receive the two most favorable of its 2021 1st round pick, Miami's 2021 1st round pick and Houston's 2021 1st round pick protected for selections 1-4 and Houston will receive the least favorable of the three (via Miami to Phoenix to Philadelphia to L.A. Clippers to Oklahoma City; via Oklahoma City's right to swap Oklahoma City or Miami for Houston); if the Houston pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyable, then Houston's obligation to Oklahoma City will be extinguished and Oklahoma City will instead receive its pick and the Miami pick

    When Ben Simmons not playing, I know the Rockets are going to ...... Joel Embiid is the true MVP, if 76ers play without him, we would have a chance. I can't watch a team without a big man in the middle not a hybrid center, or a center that plays like a SG. I'll watch next game, I can't watch when I expect the power (electricity) play tricks on me.

    Can’t judge Wall when he is surrounded by trash ..DH playing like trash, BMAC ...SBROWN,

    Outside of Tate and Gordon and Nwaba, we can only hope Cousins has a good half

    = losses
