    It has been years since I see only 5 pages on game day. Holy @#$@# I don't know why Rockets don't challenge the block? So they don't have to pay him and forget that 1 block when his contract is up?

    Game was chippy earlier on. When we turned up the defense; looks like Randle took it personally. In the recent games; Dru Holiday, Stephanie Curry and tonight Randle; the stars have another gear, that at times they just turned it on.

    Not mad at he loss, maybe a little numb; Rockets: 3PT: 8/35 (22.9%) and free throw: 21/32 (65.6%).

    Yeah, our 3-point shooting is horrid and our 3-point defense is almost equally-horrible. That's pretty much a disaster in this era of basketball.

    Tilman has singlehandedly destroyed this franchise. I’ve never witnessed anything like this before so fast.

    Hire a fuking shooting coach

    If these assholes don’t get in the gym and put up shots everyday in the off-season, I’m gonna lose it.

    How can you be on an NBA court and not be able to shoot?? It’s embarrassing. Max player, Wood? FOH

    I think I care way too much, but this is awful.

    Just looked at the standings. The Pistons have won 19 games & the Rockets have won 16. So the Rockets could actually win 2 of their last 7 games & still have the worst record in the NBA.....for all you tankity tankity fans.

    Off-topic, but ... that scene in the sitcom is worth a watch. It's hysterical. :D

    It is tragic and also natural that those 3 are gone, Betty White is the only one here and not in that picture.

    I guess its the empath in me. I get the impression that Wood feels insecure and defensive about KPJ and his early arc. Wood has been the journeyman grinder and just as soon as he starts to break through some young gun starts taking his shine and he's not being the best teammate IMO. Any time KPJ makes a mistake the dude has the biggest grimace like a family member died "I cant believe it" head shake and all that instead of coaching him up.

    Doesnt seem like a good symbiosis to me. Even during Scoots 50 burger it felt like Wood had to force any support.

    If Im choosing between KPJ and Wood its a no brainer for me. Send ol' boy off to his 8th team in 8 years if he cant be a good teammate. You could probably convince some other team Wood is about to be an All Star and maximize the return.

    Im all in with the Black Joker.

    just watched the hightlights and Randle went ham on us with the low block punishment with soft touch 3s. Rose making a comeback I see after they tried burying him in Detroit.
