    It happens.

    Unfortunately Perkins is literally good for one thing...and that is defending Dwight Howard. Every other night he is useless.

    Doesn't make Dwight less of a player...just like how Okur could for some reason defend Yao... at least Okur was a decent player in his prime though...

    Good God, from the start the guys looked like they were running in quicksand.

    Oh well, Im not even a little mad.
    OKC was on fresh legs and it was clear the Rockets were fatigued.
    Jonathan nailed it.

    Yes! Trade expensive loser Howard for cheaper winner Kendrick Perkins!

    Yeah, after most on the board was burying the team after the Mavs lost and had the team going on a long losing streak.

    Harden has been shooting crap in the last 3 games.

    Tired of these B2B excuses. Without FTs, harden is just scrub.

    Superstar should be carrying the team, not ruining it with ineffective ISO play and rubbish defense.

    Yes, it was 4 games in 5 nights, however, the Thunder were without a top 10 player (Westbrook) and the Rockets still lost by 30. Disgusting.

    Fire McHale and find an actual coach, make the Asik trade asap.

    The Thunder run pick n roll the Rockets all day . The Rockets game is pass the ball around try to find an open 3's or find miss match and go 1 on 1 .

    He will be an All star this year, bank on it. And he will be an All star based on coaches' vote, not the fan voting popularity contest.

    we used to run alot of PnR before we become selfish team that only care about padding stats.

    This whole mess stem from Mchale devalue PG position at the start of the season.

    Harden has been ineffective on shooting the damn ball, but he could make his stats look good by drawing fouls and iso play.

    Rockets have no chance against the Thunder in a seven game series for one reason simply: there is no one on the Rockets who can slow down Durant. This is where Deng, Iggy, or even someone like Kirilenko would help.

    That was how it was as well last season. Our only win in the regular season was the game after the all star break when everyone was well rested. Our schedule has been brutal.

    For once, i agree with Mchale.

    We have been playing ugly in the last 3 match to close the game against scrub team. Fatigue excuse is just BS, we were playing against a true elite team tonight and it shows.
