    It's like watching shame, humiliation and embarrassment take basketball form.

    Charles played hard in a meaningless game in a meaningless season.

    he only stayed to mentor steve francis and mobley.

    The TNT crew is only saying what anyone with a brain could see from watching the first few weeks of the Rockets season. There is a difference between being a fan and a blind homer and if you watched this team and thought after the first week of January there was any hope for this team you were delusional.

    TNT was actually pretty nice.

    I was listening to all the sports show on sirius this morning and they were ripping the Rockets pretty hard.

    Actually no one was ripping Harden, it was Morey and Dwight.

    I'm in the same boat, was watching a youtube stream so did not get to see the halftime commentary.

    this team is the hardest to watch in my 15 years of actively following sports.

    (and i've watched nearly all of the texans games)

    What were they saying about Morey? The analytics stuff? I'm glad he's getting heat publicly. Some of it is backlash due to his ego and a general hate for the Rockets, but he seriously needs a reality check if he's gonna remain the GM. I just hope Les starts to get some heat as well. I think he's been incredibly overrated as an owner here.

    Shaq no longer disses Dwight. He has close ties with him now.

    I think Stephen A on first take was talking about Morey, blaming him for the lack of chemistry for the team

    Ok you must be smoking some good ****. This is probably the most frustrating Rockets team I've ever watched because of the talent and expectations yet they play like a lottery team but.............. the Texans have had some of the worst teams. I can think of 4-5 Texans years worse than this. lol

    It's a fair criticism. The constant turnover, treating players like assets, forcing a system on the team with an incompatible roster, firing the coach 11 games in and then dumping his unqualified top assistant on the players. It's snowballed into what we've witnessed this season.

    I see what you did there. Subtle, but very good. Kudos.

    yeah the texans were REALLY bad. but they always tried and had a few players that I could watch grow throughout the season.

    This rockets team not only is really bad, doesn't try and the young players i'd like to watch grow are glued to the bench ALL ****ING YEAR ( Capela, KJ, Harrell)

    THIS^^^^^

    The fact is that the truth hurts and a lot of guys on this board don't want to hear the truth..

    The blame has being going around from the owner to the GM to the coach to the players.. As it should be...
