    I prefer these boring wins over games where we let bad teams stay close and we lost. How many games we had like that? Like 5 or 6 and if we count games were we were up by like 15 or 20 and lost is like 10 games.


    So happy to have boring games were we dominate all game like Clips and knicks games :)

    Yea, well the Knicks never even came to the game so Rox at least showed up.

    That’s not disrespect. This is fake outrage.

    Imagine if you were supposed to play against someone and they didn’t show up?
    Basically got a sweat in.

    Steve Kerr let Draymond Green Coach the Suns, Rachel Nichols praises Steve Kerr brilliance

    ESPN topic for Today

    Did Harden, CP3 disrespect the Knicks

    Molly - Yes, James left for the club hehehe
    Stephen - No
    Max - No

    Rachel - Yes
    Scottie - Yes Criticize more, Michael Jordan wouldn't have done that, Dennis Rodman would
    Tracy - Yes Pile on nonsense, Tracy quit while light jogging at Half Court in Toronto, quit in the 1st Round.

    Lebron James was throwing upside water bottle at Madison Square Garden, the water bottle went on the court and never got fined.

    There is a strong chance The Rockets could get fined.

    LeBron would've sat out, I guess that's disrespectful.

    Harden, CP3, Capela played the game. They at least showed up, they didn't sit out, they played for the standings.

    It’s always weird when broadcasters for teams getting their **** handed to them complain about not getting respect. If Harden wants to get into the game to compete against these scrubs because he likes to hoop, that’s called disrespectful. And if he is asked to go back to the locker room and get post game reps in rather sit on the bench for a full quarter watching his second unit play against a tanking team, that’s also called disrespectful.

    They won’t get fined. As you say, the Rockets don’t do this load management stuff, they actually have their best players show up to compete against these tanking teams. And they are being called out for disrespect? Give me a break.

    Someone had to sit on the bench in case of an injury. Otherwise the whole bench would have likely been empty.

    Allen Hahn lives in my neighborhood and his son used to go to middle school with my little brother before he started going to a local private school because he’s good at hockey. For everyone getting into twitter wars vs Knicks fans. Y’all need to know NYers get triggered really easily. Also they got an ego where if you living in another city it’s prob like your living in Kansas or something. Also Hahn is a crazy die hard Knicks fan. I listen to his radio show often, he’s pretty chill, I think he’s about tired of Knicks sucking and he took it out on the rockets showing no respect. Also he knows what he’s doing. As a NY media member you have to “make stories”. And this is exactly how you make drama and headlines. Alan is a smart just he’s trying to get MSG to make a few extra bucks and be on the TV for a bit.

    Its disrespectful to your teammates. If Lebron or Curry did it you know clutchfans would pile on them.

    The team is on a mission, and everyone knows it. There is no disrespect here at all.

    The Rockets holding grudges & I kinda don't mind it. Remember when the Knicks waited ALL summer just to trade Melo to OKC? Just because they didn't want him here

    How can anything be more disrespectful than beating an NBA team by 40? Wouldn’t have mattered what else the rockets did, they just flat out disrespected the Knicks regardless if they left the bench. Everyone soo sensitive these days.
