    Rockets shoot some cheap, low IQ 3s in the clutch (Gordon, Harden), Paul missed 2 FTs.

    He does that on every inbound play no matter what the situation. He just doesn't give a **** most of time. Cash them checks, throw them on strippers = satisfied.

    true but the 12-2 FT disparity in the first half w/ marc davis in the house was no coincidence at all. in fact, i would be very interested to know when the last time was that we won a game with him reffing (both reg and post seasons)

    I thought cap space is out of the question now that CP3 and Clint were resigned?

    Is Chris Paul injured? He missed layups and free throws all in the 4th quarter - what the hell? At one point last year, I thought he was more clutch than Harden. Oooooof.

    Problem with Melo was that he joined a bad team.

    Gordon. Is not in a slump guys. He’s not a great 3 pointer shooter. Jacks up 10 3’s a game and makes 2.

    James harden should quit .

    If he has to play perfect for us to win then it's not worth it for him to put us on his back and drag us to a .500 year .

    Clint is nice , but is no where near a complete player and still has a lot of maturing he needs to do .

    CP3 had a pretty solid first 45 minutes this game , but he lost his focus and cost us at the end . He is too old to be counted on as a number 2 . His decline is shocking and yet maybe makes more sense that we would like to think

    I won't even dignify the rest of the players with individual sections . A few of them can be good role players , but none can bring true impact consistently

    Dude, only like 5 VERY vocal posters blamed Carmelo.

    @Zboy, @J Sizzle, @Reeko, @J.R., @YOLO

    Get your apology from them.. good luck.

    Looks like whoever posted the last post-game tweet, got fired, and replaced by a more optimistic tweeter.

    Last game...haha

    Just watch Devin Harris, whenever he shoots I am like yeah, you shoot more and miss more. We have a team of a few Devin Harisses. Age is catching up.

    The league has gotten better. New talent, more parity. "Run it back" is not enough.

    It was only in the end. The entire game Luka was locked up by Eric and Tuck. Right when Clint checked back in, he steps up to Luka and we settle for the switch. Several times in the game, EG and Tuck would wave off our bigs from switching. Switching scheme isn't the problem, but using it with Clint on an elite shot making guard is. He can't check ANY of them.

    Morey needs to make a public announcement that our roster is open for business. I want all these young scrubs and old, overpaid bums gone. It's time to face reality and hurt some f'n feelings.
