    See, that would have been a clever attempt at trolling.

    Not even a question. I still hate the number 27, and also have some hate for the numbers 2 and 7 on their own.

    27 3’s - easy. This streak was meaningless

    27 misses + ref missed calls trumps this recent loss streak.

    I block out all memories of May 28, 2018. I can't remember a game I left more mad after watching.

    The Rockets losing streak got less interesting as the losses piled up. Meh.

    0-27 is a zillion times worse. We all know this team sucks so whether they lose 6 or 50 in a row it doesn't matter. You only get some many chances to knock out one of the best teams of your era and if you **** the bed by chucking horrible shots its all on you.

    Is this really a question???

    The goal is to win. So you miss 27 3pt attempts in a row and more than likely lose that game. IT'S ONE GAME and ONE GAME pales in comparison to losing TWENTY straight games!!!

    People honestly think it's missing 27 3pt attempts in a row??? Freaking crazy!!!!

    27 missed 3's was a disaster! Embarrassing and heart breaking.
    What made it worse was our dingbat of an owner who "doesn't have a problem going over the tax to bring Houston a Championship". Thought it was a smart idea to cut labor cost instead of spend for just one more reliable star.

    The 20 losses didn't hurt at all. I knew we were destined to be garbage in a rebuilding year. It all added up. No one in stadiums. Rediculous loss of revenue. Owner struggling with his other ventures. But "This too shall pass" and hopefully we'll be a stronger team after.

    27 missed 3s after, had some heartbreak, but was optimistic about the next season still and knew we'd still make the playoffs.

    20 straight losses gives me 0 hope/optimism.
