    at what point do our local "journalists" call harden out directly after a game? how is it that no body is coming up to him and saying "how do you explain your terrible defense?" he needs to be put on blast and prove that he actually gives a shi!t or worst case demonstrate that he really doesn't.

    He's always late on the hot takes. The Rockets haven't been fun to watch since we got Howard.

    We went from a plucky upstart, fast-paced team that everyone seemed to love to tune into on League Pass and turned into a team with no real identity that other fans seem to universally despise.

    Not sure how the Rockets go about turning that around. Getting rid of Dwight would be a great first step.

    I'll be interested to see if the team Dwight goes to in the offseason also attracts this level of vitriol.

    When your GM goes to bat for you on social media defending your lack of D and citing excuses, it shows Harden has Mauri and this organization by the cojones

    It starts at the top. You're Gm makes all kinds of excuses for you playing atrocious to no D and doesn't hold you accoutnable, obviously you'll think it's fine

    I wish there was a single quality about this team I liked.

    Those two years before Harden, when you knew they wouldn't make the playoffs but you HAD to watch because they played hard, moved the ball, and wore their heart on their sleeve?

    This team is the COMPLETE opposite of that.

    Wasn't fun seeing our key championship role players shipped out so we could watch him back guys down for 22 seconds but we still cheered him on.

    Without James Harden, I think Rockets is close to 76ers...

    We're not fun to watch, and this is a heavily flawed team starting from the owner to the gm to the coach to the starters all the way down to the bench.

    This does NOT mean though that we are in a awful position. This off-season will be crucial to the future of the Rockets... if we screw this up then we will be awful for years to come.

    Getting KD is pretty much the only scenario that can immediately impact this team. This has been the true real prize for some time now once the rockets established themselves as a subpar .500 team.

    I get Barkley's opinion. He hates Les and never fails to dump on the Rocks, given any excuse (and he had plenty tonight). I only vote in public polls, tinman, unless Clutch starts them. That means I won't vote. My opinion, though, is that this is the most miserable, disappointing, and bizarre season I've experienced in a long time.
