    Garcia was a -24 and Terry was a -23. I hate that these guys are getting playing time over guys like Troy Daniels and Nick Johnson. Hope Morey makes moves to get rid of them sooner than later.

    Why wouldn't he? He has a skeleton squad to work with? I cannot honestly say the last time a Rockets team had that many players injuries all at the same time. Just farking unbelievable.

    Sigh...Will we ever play a close against these fu**ers? It seems like any Rockets Clippers game is guaranteed to be a blowout win for Clippers. Granted injuries played a significant role in this game, but still, I REALLY want to beat these a**holes.

    This Rockets team at full strength is better than the Clippers.

    Well that sucked. Too bad we were not at full strength against Gsw, griz and clips

    I wish Morey would do something to help the team out right now. I understand the whole "maintain flexibility" but the product that is on the floor right now is borderline trash. It's unacceptable. Injuries happen but teams should be better prepared for injuries and, we are not. There has to be some D-Leaguers/China/Euro players out there ready to get some NBA minutes who are more capable than Dorsey or Garcia.

    He's never been heard saying anything bad about his teammates, so I'll give you that...and that guy Dorsey seems to be a really big fan of his too.

    Tough game. Canaan going out is just a killer, all the injuries are a disappointment.

    Tough schedule coming up, with these injuries we will be lucky to go 2-3 over our next five.

    Gotta get these guys back, injuries are beginning to catch up to us.

    Rather them now than in April. At least we get to see what some of the bench guys can do. Maybe it will raise their trade value around the league or give them valuable playing time to become better players that we can use down the stretch.

    Shelled out for a bunch of my family members in town to attend this..pretty disappointed. This is like the 3rd game I've invited them to and we've gotten thoroughly beat every time. Guess I should've known better this time since we always seem to get smashed by the Clippers but I got these a few weeks ago when I though Dwight/Bev would play.
    D-Mo, Papa, Garcia all looked so terrible. We pretty much just got Harden, Ariza and bunch of D-League type players who will have a decent game every now and then. Come on, Morey. Hope you heard all the groans tonight.

    This one-on-one ball is not going to cut it in the playoffs. I heard Drexler or Bill saying they need someone else to score - what? to go one on three with hero-ball and score based off of that? They keep bailing out McHale and putting the burden on the players to create their own offense. Why not have the coach create plays that will facilitate offense for the players? So ridiculous b/c we have so much talent.

    We're 1-9 against the Clippers. They've been a terrible match up for the Rockets for almost 3 seasons now.

    I'll believe that our roster can beat the Clippers when we actually start winning more than 1/10 of the games we play against them.

    You decided to stick around? Pretty cool if so.

    you come.up.with conclusions based on 1 game?

    why not.look at the on/off court +/- of the whole.roster throughout the games?

    Very disappointed in our offensive play tonite,instead of attacking the Dmo Griffin match up we just jack up 3 after 3. We have to be one of the worst shooting teams in the league right now.

    I just dont understand why they don't feed DMO more often. DMO was working magic in the paint early and all of sudden they just go away from it? It looked like when the Rockets were down 10 and Mchale called a time out and Rockets deliberately tried to get DMO a touch. It failed, but that doesn't mean they should just stop going to him all together...

    I wish DMO would just demand the ball.. Harden would give it to him, especially this game when he went into to pass-the-ball-with-3-seconds-left mode.

    I know this game would have been closer if they just force fed DMO...

    WTF happened? Why were we getting a massive beating on our own court?
