    NBA standings. Id bet money a fair handful of people complaining endlessly have zero clue what's going on with the big board.

    There are only 2 teams having a better season than our Rockets.

    Enjoy the ride a little bit. Even those folks who are living and dying on every game and possession...like, they've done entirely more living than dying but your magnifying glasses are only viewing negatives. We've got a possible MVP, coach of the year and 6th man among many other reasons to be happy so far.

    Cavs have lost 6 of their last 8.

    Toronto has lost 5 in a row.

    Philly has won 10 of 13.

    Gsw just lost to Terrence Jones.

    Things happen during a long season. Chill.

    Lackadaisical defense, poor effort, broke shot, no accountability, and no leadership to how he has played the last 8 games.... I DO GIVE A CRAP about this numbers... nor do I care that he is going to the MVP of the NBA.... the fact of the matter is he has stunk in up on the defensive end.... not because of him giving an effort.... but because just refuses to play Defense after turnovers or when the player blows by him..... he continues to jack up 3s when the shot isnt falling and he has the ability to take the ball inside and make a play.....

    Also he has been turning the ball over carelessly, and then expects his teammates to cover for his lack of defense in transition.... He has to be held accountable for his misdeeds....

    On the other hand, the teams defense and especially the pick and roll defense has been str8 up garbage.... I know we are small, but our BIGS have to be the worst rebounding centers and bigs in the NBA....... As a team out shooting has been off, and we lack the mental capacity to attack and create shots in that matter when nothing is falling.... truly living and dying by the three... I hope we make a move soon....

    No worries tho.... Rockets will bounce back with the heavy home games and the low tier talents that is coming to town... I hope the Rockets can feed on the weak and once again get their chemistry, groove, and momentum back for the the RUN that is expected.....

    We will get to 58+ wins...... YOOL B!

    If you want to have a SPECIAL season, you don't settle for 3rd.

    You settle for the sixth seed... rampage past all the 'better' teams... beat the nominal MVP when the trophy belongs to someone else... then sweep the Eastern Conference powerhouse in the finals.

    In great detail, outline what you mean by the word "special" and how this team, to-date, is not that.

    Settling for better than everyone but the golden boy b****es and the two-decade-dynasty spurs. Settling. Honestly the word you're using is settling, HOW ARE YOU SO SPOILED AS A FAN AFTER 1/2 OF A SEASON????

    They sucked last year. They weren't even that awesome the year before and managed some heroics anyway. THIS SEASON they are playing some ball. I mean what in the christ spoiled you? DECEMBER BASKETBALL???? Honestly.

    We have played 13 games in 21 days. We also have had to hop on a plane after all but one of those 13 games.

    But you know these are robots not people. Like on 2k the energy bar is back to 100% after every game ends.

    41-41 is still a winning record and we'd still make the playoffs. small chance to beat the warriors in wcf then the cavs in the finals.

    What we need is our star player to show he cares about winning enough to give some effort. I've seen some mistakes from others, but Harden takes the cake with his lazy play. At least try! I have zero respect for people - don't care how important they are to the team - who don't work hard for their team mates and let's his team down on a regular basis. It's been a few games, but if Harden keeps this up, I'm not so sure he isn't the same guy we feared he was: another great offensive talent, but just not willing to put in the effort every single night and pointing out other people's mistakes while not holding himself accountable.
