    The Rockets played ugly tonight, that's not complaining it's the honest to god truth. You think the people are upset the Rockets lost? I was celebrating when they won but that was ignored. Only my criticisms got attention. If you don't like it ignore it.

    Are you ignoring the posts where people said Dwight played great and he makes us better? The same people that criticize the Rockets are also the same people who are happy when they are doing great. This is a forum you are supposed to discuss different things. Enough of the wannabe sensors.

    Do you understand what Occam's razor is or are you just saying that? Let's look at the situation.

    1) we have multiple people calling out a guy for being negative. Browsing through his posts you'll see clear evidence of negativity.

    2) or, he's not being negative and everyone who calls him negative is labeled a homer.

    To me, 2 seems a little more subjective. It's also the more complicated scenario; what exactly makes one a homer, particularly one in denial? Thus, by the principle of Occam's razor, 1 is the simpler conclusion and is more likely.

    Since this is a Rockets website homers are more likely. Since I myself am a Rockets fan and hate when they lose. The same people complaining about "complainers" also said negative things themselves. They just didn't say anything negative about Mchale. They've made up rules on what is negative and what is positive and expect everyone to follow it like law.

    I've got nothing against you in the slightest. I say negative things about the rockets too, doesn't mean I don't love the team. And I know youre a fan based on your post count.

    I just love a good logic exercise :p so this quote here, Occam's razor is about making the least amount of assumptions. this is an assumption that we're all homers. According to the other guy I quoted, we're all homers in denial. Those are big assumptions.

    According to the principle, there shouldn't be more assumptions made than necessary, as is the case with this line of thinking. It's simpler to take the evidence of multiple posters complaining about negativity at face value.

    For reasons I can't explain, I felt the need to point out the last guy's misuse of Occam's razor. He's not applying the principle correctly and that's all I had to say.

    I can point out the ugly parts in every single NBA game. Every team has their ugly moments. Ex. The Warriors game against the Clippers, the Warriors were clicking on all cylinders and then they went cold and started playing sloppy ball resulting in a 18 point swing. Then in the 4th the Clippers had a few ugly sloppy plays and the Warriors mounted a come back, resulting in a win.


    I didn't see your excitement post, so I apologies for that. I joined the party after the game.

    Man please get out your feelings. It never fails to amaze me how so many people get snappy on the internet.

    This post is only directed to those that are negative. If the shoe fits, then wear it proudly.

    I agree with this though, I was gonna say they were playing like the Rockets have been playing lately during that stretch, no movement. Which is why they got down, as soon as the Rockets figure that out they will be back to the level they were playing at last year.

    You're always in your feelings around here. Especially in that Fire McHale thread.

    Capela was playing really well at that time. To me is simple, you cannot afford to have no Dwight and no Capela in the game - one of them has to be playing. Going small at that time allowed Orlando to attack the basket and erase our 9 point lead.

    I am sick tired of waiting Curry has one game shooting below 30%...

    Harden almost did this every game. SMH.
