    He doesn't look to be on a hurry to do much but if they would just play a little D they might win some of these games

    I'm pissed at JB for not calling a timeout when Howard fell and shovelled it to Ariza, and then when we couldn't get the ball in on that final play. Like what the hell is that? You have two timeouts and you screw yourself by not using them.

    Not subbing Lawson out for that Fournier possession was all time stupid. Play your best defensive players idiot.

    Gotta get some consistent 3 point shooters that is this teams biggest downfall. Ariza has improved over his career but he's still just avg.

    Ariza usually hits one big shot in these games, so that was odd with him bricking there.

    If we switch out Lawson Fournier doesn't go at him like that and if we just call Harden ISO we probably win this game.

    Trevor was wide open for some of those 3s. I can't believe he missed that many tonight.

    We'd be giving up 120 PPG instead of 105PPG or whatever it is

    I'm getting sick of this same routine from the Rockets in every road game against a mediocre ballclub. They halfass it for 2 1/2 quarters and turn it on in the 4th when they've dug themselves a big hole only to come up a few points short. Are they ever going to show up for 48 minutes(or even 36)? Or is this team incapable of doing so?

    What doesn't matter?

    The fact we dropped another game to ordinary opposition?

    If, if and IF. Ship Arizas ass out. Ive had it with him. His defense has seriously been awful this season and he cant shoot worth a damn. He was good for us defensively last season but he's fallen off dramatically. He sucks.

    It's a "ticker" problem...no heart,lolly gag around for 3 or more qtrs. on D and then decide you want to play a little in the 4th qtr. We have nothing inside outside of an alley oop. Payton & Fournier coming right down the heart of the defense for a layin.He me makes stupid mistakes (fouls) and everything is a funny to him. Why he never has and never will win a championship. Sorry.
