    I knew this would happen when all this came out. Huge fukking distraction on top of not having a key player.

    Whining on this site about referees, conspiracies etc. needs to end.

    This team just isn’t as good as advertised and it’s being exposed nationally by championship caliber team.

    Yep, they thought it was going to be easy after game 1. Hell, a lot of people on here was talking crap like the series was over. Now that it is not easy the Rockets look like they are giving up. And it doesn’t help when the coach just stands on the sidelines with his arms crossed.

    We have 0 fastbreak points. Isn't that why we got Westbrook???

    I wonder what the Vegas HST loss trifecta pays out tonight? Probably not much. Looks like Rockets are doing their part to be the 2/3s

    Exactly! We win by shooting more 3s than the other team and now they look so terrified when they get looks they’re not even turning their heads to the rim to shoot and instead are panicking looking for someone else to pass it to.

    It hurts being apprehensive about the entire season after the Westbrook trade and seeing this. I've been a Dantoni fan but this team is an experimental disaster. Id blow up everything except Harden this off-season.

    Oh it is. They started doubling Harden in the second half last game and it completely shut down the offense. They are doing the same good game and it's working again. A good coach would have something to take advantage of playing 4 on 3. Instead we refuse midrange shots and look lost.

    Exactly this, Lakers have put their all into contesting 3 pointers and rotating and Rockets don't have the balls to chuck them.

    Midrange is there, just waiting, but they don't even know how to do it. They've perfected this one trick and if you take it away from them this happens.

    Good riddance to gimmick ball.

    I’m also on board with blowing it up b/c Harden’s not leading us to a championship and once his body goes the Rockets are done for a while.

    This is brutal to watch their defense is just tearing us up.

    Time to switch to watch the Texans get torn up instead.

    I wouldn't be mad if we blow it up in the off-season. To show this kind of effort when you are down 2-1 tells you alot about the make up of the players we have.

    The real Rockets could come back from 13 easy.

    This current group? Not sure who they are.

    It's possible to come back.

    Not looking likely but it is possible.

    POSITIVE VIBES
