I predict that if we're losing at the half that ZRB will have started a thread with the word pathetic in it somewhere.
The "mighty" Clippers? I'll never get used to that... (with Steve) Rockets 94 Clippers 80 (without Steve) Rockets 85 Clippers 82 They are getting better at playing w/o Steve, IMHO.
You've been paying attention! I haven't used a descriptive word more than I've used "pathetic" this season.
So far, the Rockets are playing pathetic defense. It looks like they only care to put in that kind of defensive effort against playoff teams. There is no way this Clipper team should be tied with the Rockets. A healthy Rockets lineup against a Clippers team missing three starters should result in a rout, not another close game. We are seeing exactly why the Rockets were not a playoff team last year. They missed the playoffs by two games last year, and went a combined 2-6 against the Nuggets and Clippers. You do the math.
