    They have really not looked the same in a while maybe since the Brooklyn game?

    This team can't win a championship unless they get some more talent. This roster that we have isn't championship caliber. MDA is 1 of the biggest reasons why we're 3rd in the WC.

    It could've knocked the magic number for the 3rd best record in the league down to 1. Instead it remains at 2.

    Harden settled for the three way too much in the end

    Ah you're wrong. Harden playing for MVP. also a tune up for the bench guys going into the playoffs. This was an execution game.

    We should hire a champion coach and put MDA top assistant coach

    I won't blame Harden but are few coaches that could make the role players and star player play Defense every game.

    I would have loved to take a shot at a defensive coach just to see how it would have looked on the Rockets post Yao era.

    Did it seem like they didn't really want to win this game? I mean they looked like a team tanking

    Its not about meaningless. Its about consistancy, about taking every game serious, about doing the little things in order to win such meaningless games. This team has the same problem it had 4,5,6, years ago..

    The game is meaningless, but losing games like this one is what makes me think the Rockets are not good enough to go deep in the playoffs, a team with some sort of winning mentality would've won this game up 10 with 5 minutes to go (or whatever it was) against a terrible team like the Pistons. The way we manage leads is just bad, and tonight was another example.

    Anyone blaming Harden for this L is crazy. He's the only one that had it going for most of the game. We lost because we let scrubs like Boban & Ish Smith go off not to mention Ariza going 1-11 including that crucial miss right under the ****ing rim the bum.
