    "It kind of feels like playing a scrimmage in practice," Andre Iguodala said of a playoff game.

    Not quite. He's saying it feels like a scrimmage to him because he takes all of the shots for the 2nd unit when they scrimmage against the 1st unit i.e. when he's not playing with Steph, Klay, or Dray.

    The Rockets have been a disappointment all season and deserve everything that's coming their way. But they've been getting trashed on from all angles. There has to been an ounce of pride somewhere in that locker room. Are they really going to go out like this? I mean, if they keep this up, it can be a death sentence for this franchise. They literally are on the verge of losing all respectability... From top to bottom.

    To be fair, it looked like a scrimmage.

    Houston is getting based EVERYWHERE today. Even nba players are questioning this team. ESPN is of course leading the way

    This, it's blatantly obvious that he meant it in that way. Once again this is the media spinning a story any way they see fit.

    That said, even if Andre meant it as a diss to Houston, it's hard to argue with him. The Rockets are a mockery.

    Houston was supposed to be competing for a top 3 spot in the west not backing into the playoffs

    We were in the western conference finals last year and have the same team back, OF COURSE WE GET NO RESPECT.

    These guys won 73 out of 82 games... that is something worthy of respect.

    The Rockets look like five random guys playing a pickup game at 24-Hour Fitness.

    Yeah he was talking about his own shot selection but he wouldn't be wrong even if he meant it as an insult.

    Sometimes this is what has to happen to get better unfortunately. I would have rather have seen them not make the playoffs and do some serious soul searching from top to bottom. Morey's poor coaching hires in McHale and JBB have finally come back to haunt him IMO.

    Taken out of context, but still deserved. We don't deserve the playoffs and Les should've recognized that...

    That's not an insult

    I've seen Harden post that same review about strip clubs. "Felt like a scrimmage last night."

    Spot on

    I have said for a long time that the Rockets play a 24 hr fitness or YMCA pick up style of basketball running a gimmick offense and basically doing anything out there

    No structure on offense or defense
