Are you against tanking and bitter? Are you against tanking and not bitter? Are you pro tanking and not bitter? First two groups will want to win. Last group will want to lose. If you are pro tanking AND bitter, my condolences for your situation.
every L counts...we’re still too close to the Magic and Kings in the tank standings securing a top 4 pick is my main priority, and it’s not changing just because Harden is coming back
This is not a black and white question for me. Prior to the 49 point loss to the Grizzlies a few days ago, I would have voted I wanted the Rockets to win with no hesitation. I am now on the tanking bandwagon and it has nothing to do with wanting Harden to beat the Rockets. We bottomed out to get Ralph Sampson, to get Hakeem, and to get Yao, don't get all high and mighty now. The current iteration of this team is going absolutely nowhere and every win from now until the end of the season is going to do more harm than good long term.
unless you promised this was the last win of the season, i will take EVERY loss possible to give hope for the long term
I love the Rockets, but having a resurgence to be a 10th seed to be in the play-in tournament would be absolutely stupid. I'm okay with continuing to lose, I just need coach to stop playing players that make it unbearable to watch this team. I'm tired of EG's stupid face after every drive to the basket. I'm sick of the John Wall iso. I'm tired of watching Dipo brick shots. Give me the young guys. Need some KPJ, KJ, Patton, Tate, Mason, Nwaba in my life. Yeah, we may lose, but at least it will be fun to see if any of these guys will be worthy of being a future bench/starter player.
