    It helps if you bet against the Rockets every game.

    They were dead last in the league in covering the spread.

    If they win, just think of it as money well spent.

    At 3:31 in the 4th if Gordon makes that layup we win.

    I was bummed last night for having any sort of optimism and then we saw the same ****. Porous defense with barely any adjustments. Harden continuing to be pretty clueless about situational defense (close out, hands up with clock winding down) and us playing iso ball w Harden down the stretch.

    Oh and our defensive rebounding is much worse than last year with Dwight out of the mix.

    Long story short, back to low expectations.

    There were 10 German bombers in the air, and the RAF from England shot them down

    Have to play better defense and rebound. Offense needs to stay consistent, Harden went a little hero ball towards the end of the game and it didn't pan out.

    Expectations are low for all Houston teams.

    I had hoop in the Coogs and they became a big disappointment.

    Just keeping expectations super low for now lol. Kinda reminds me of those years before we got Harden. Hopefully we aren't that mediocre.

    Two games in three nights.

    Rough stretch.

    We might be tired.

    I hope we make some shots like in preseason. That was nice.

    Defense and rebounding would be nice.

    Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson had the game of their lives and we were still within striking distance at the end. Of course it was fluky. Plus that was the first game with the new coach and players, figuring out how to close is something that must be developed between coach and players

    After our first game, I'm not as confident with a win tonight!!

    We need to play a good second half with Harden still passing to teammates and not go with hero ball.
