    No, that’s not what half the games have been. So Wood is the difference between winning 6 straight and losing 12 straight with a whopping -17 net rating and -18 point differential. Like I said, you’d swear Wood is 09 Bron.

    There is no other description than “blasted” for these results over the last 12....

    https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/advanced/?sort=NET_RATING&dir=1&Season=2020-21&SeasonType=Regular Season&LastNGames=12

    Our best player would be a bunch of teams 2nd or 3rd best player. Possibly 4th on some teams...

    LOL The Rockets aren’t winning (or even “covering”). Blowout loss. Postgame analysis starts here.

    Not a betting/gambling person but the Nets will win by more than 10.
    130ish-95 Nets

    Line: BKN -10.0
    O/U: 228.5
    *per ESPN scorebug

    Bet on your boy Harden and the Nets.

    Am I the only one rooting for a delay?

    Rockets down to 8 players.

    We are so close to 7.

    Well facts are facts because that's exactly what half the games have been. Been watching the Rockets or Nets?

    Why not post the MOV during the winning streak? Lol, can't even talk with good faith.

    This always cracks me up.

    Like Silas, I promise you our opponents don’t give a **** what our starting lineup is. We suck regardless.

    Haven't you said a few times that the Rockets are contending for the playoffs if Wood had been playing?

    Seems like you’ve only been watching the Nets, or just the boxscore. U certainly haven’t been actually watching the games.

    in our loss to Toronto by 11 since u want to use that as some cutoff of not getting destroyed, the Raptors led by as much as 23, and we never led once in the 2nd half...Rockets made a little comeback to make the final score more respectable

    the Miami game that we lost by 7, we were down by 16 with a minute and a half left and made a bunch of shots to make the final score a 7 point loss

    according to u, that’s supposed to classify as not getting destroyed...lol, ok

    only someone watching the boxscore would try to classify this 12 game losing streak as something other than an avalanche of beatdowns

    Huh? I’ve said they’d maybe be 10th or 11th in the West.

    10th is contending for the playoffs though.

    Not going to root for a win by any means but I agree that if we are ever going to win a game it would be tonight. Silas is in on it if we win tonight—Tilman revenge game. I need some drama.

    I am mostly hoping to enjoy watching Harden again.

    Nwaba out 6 weeks. Basically kills his trade value so maybe we’ll get to keep him long term! That would make me happy

    but 11th isn’t, and 10th is only “contending” because the NBA has now instituted this stupid Play-In Tournament where u can be 10th in your conference with a record much worse than the 7th and 8th seed teams and still manage to sneak in if u win 2 games...bottom line is, the team would still be trash

    The Rockets were competitive in half those games. That's a fact.

    Wood's PER would rank 14th if his GP qualified. So he'd rank higher than you say on most teams. But it doesn't matter anyway because he's the Rockets' player and the Rockets' record was better than most teams before his injury.

    Rewrite history much? Rockets were never down by 16 vs MIA, 4th Quarter. It was a 6-point game with 90 seconds left and got as close as 3. That's not getting blasted.

    The Toronto game was 6-point with 3 minutes left... final score 11-point.

    Games are 48 minutes long and you gotta play until the end. I'm consistent with my positions and said the same last season when the Texans were up 21 vs Brady and the Patriots then finished with a 6-point victory. People acting all excited, "yeah, we handled the Patriots". Um... no we did not.

    This team sucks. I'm really not sure I can bring myself to watch this game knowing what the inevitable outcome will be.
