    Rockets gotta win games when they're healthy. Rockets' best 6 players all played tonight.

    I can guarantee his shooting will improve by at least 10% next year. It’s the sad reality of how most athletes operate

    They're 2 wins above .500 - that's either average or slightly above average. Refs shouldn't be blamed after losses to team like that. I put them in the same tier as the Hornets, Magic, Mavs, Nets etc.

    So how do you explain them beating Toronto at home??? I'll wait? Btw Philly lost to Cleveland tonight, are they not elite either? Gimme a break losses like these happens, its a long season and we just got our mojo back.

    No knee jerk threads after the loss? I’m disappointed.

    This game kind of reflecting the status of the team. We have 6 good players. Margin for error is small.
    Very had to run away from the rest of the pack.

    By your logic, Cleveland is now an elite team because they beat Philly. Interesting.

    Really? I didn't realize you had multiple posts about the "jewish" ref. You need to think a bit more before you write, and as I said in another post, good luck holding down a job if you try making these kinds of comments without hiding behind a screen name.

    Just not a fan of the b****ing and whining about the refs when playing against non-elite teams.

    I don’t think anyone would argue even before these games pistons were a better team as they shouldn’t. Our competition isn’t Detroit.

    What? I'm talking about the better team that lost, not the lesser ones that beat them. All I'm saying is that sometimes good teams lose and Detriot has beaten some good teams too. So calm down.

    For real though, Gordon has to start shooting better, how long can this cold spell last.
