    These double teams on Harden generate zero open looks. Wtf.

    Just stop the picks and switches. They just trap Harden and the offense goes nowhere.

    A lot of Rockets players lack awareness. Pick up the damn ball it's right in front of you freakin clown.

    Its really all semantics. Position doesn't really matter in the NBA particularly on this team.
    Harden defends the least threatening perimeter threat on the opposing team. That is usually the PF.

    I know we call Covington PF. But 90% of the time, he's defending the SF. If Covington defends SF, then he is the SF.

    Avoid Dallas in the playoffs at all costs. Throw games if we need to.

    Good thing there is only a few games before playoffs because the way this team is constructed it was always a fairy tale that we had any real chance to contend for a title, they are horrid defensively.

    You can't take the Rockets seriously as a contender with this defense. It's baaaaaaaad.

    rockets have scored more than enough points.

    if they played any type of defense they would be up 20.

    This sucks.

    We took Harden out with a few in the first and its all downhill from there. Mavs hitting everything, no other Rocket consistently contributing, WB struggling, and barely any Harden in 2nd. What a horrid display of defense. I was really excited for 30min, but now I feel just as disappointed as I did in January.
