    Y’all gotta relax. We get blown out at times. Minnesota beat us by 16 in the first round last year. Golden State won game 3 by 31. Better to get our butts kicked to wake us up.

    I can't believe how bad the Rocket's looked while the Pelicans were doing it.

    What the f was that. I speed watch this dumpster fire after getting fed up with the Astros. Did I just get in the DeLorean and 88mph back to opening night 2015 against Denver when they prison showered us after we dropped the soap. I mean really. We looked like a 500 team out there. No inspiration at all.

    What a 1 , 2 gut punch by the Houston teams. October 17th 2018. That night goes down as a sports turd sandwich that went bad.

    The Rockets just need to decide to win. This was us deciding we didn't care.

    Cold hard facts...the first two months of the NBA season is a value bettor's wet dream. Tons of upsets....why? Teams are figuring if out. It's going to happen. As long as MDA makes adjustments and Harden gets back in shape we'll be back to "boring" wins I promise. Chill

    **** excuses, this was opening night, the team was not ready to play, too much "How great thou art" in the offseason.

    I suspect a very rough start.

    Things that are frustrating to me are

    Clint playing weak
    Not using backup centers and playing small ball
    Getting dominated on rebounds
    Terrible defense
    That lame tired legs excuse, which I will hear as much this year as BOB saying "We need to Coach better"
    Bregman at bat, bases loaded, and a chance to come back disappear before our eyes with a diving catch on Bregman's hit

    The Rockets tonight. At least the Astros were awake when they lost.

    No the great teams win the first couple of months, thats how you get home court in the playoffs. Nice try though. Although losing today does not mean we will keep losing for the next couple of months but these games are very important.

    Rockets added too many scrubs. Lazy General Managing. Still its the Rockets and I believe they can figure it out.
