    I wish Tilman would just bite the bullet and trade House for Covington but anything to save money these days.

    We might as well blow up the team if Tilman is so short on cash.

    I hope this embarrassing showing is a sacrifice for the Texans to win.

    this is trash.

    Rockets got a micro bit of confidence
    and momentum

    Two quick offensive fouls on Russ. . . . ball game

    Don't tell me Refs don't matter . . .even when you down 20
    The Refs literally snuffed out any momentum the rockets were building

    These refs killed our spirit. They manipulate more since the Silver takeover.

    Harden gave everyone on the team the "Itis" from whatever strip club he was at over those 5 days.

    Harden did not come to play for his brother Russ. He took this whole game off and let Russ fend for himself. That's pretty f-cked up.

    Why did we listen to Harden and Tillman? OLD CP3> Westbrick all day anyday.

    Look at the bright side. The Hawks almost came back to beat us last night and they didn't. Losing tonight, it sucks, but it's obvious the teams didn't have it tonight. Missed lay up after missed lay up. Brick shot after brick shot.

    Let's just regroup and hopefully have a better game on Saturday. I hate when the Rockets have waaaaaay too much rest. It's like the whole ****ing team is off rhythm now and back to square one to bricking everything.

    On the negative side, I miss seeing Paul's mid range game. I can't stand Russ's mid range game.

    Well, I hope Russ learned that he can get anything from that post game most nights.

    Im disappointed the team didn't bother to show up knowing how important the game was for Russ.

    It was within their power to prevent that.

    Or maybe not. Chris Paul is a good basketball player, and very consistent. Westbrook is super erratic. Fire and ice.

    This is what happens when Harden can't carry us. They're literally standing right off Westbrook knowing he can't shoot. If they protect the paint, he's pretty much done for. Nobody else can step up and hit consistent shots.

    Harden has turned this completely average team into a title contender.
