    Thanks looked into it..n almost all our losses were on the road. Plus since cp3 went down n the rockets righted the ship those nber look even better when u just look at the games since his injury. Point is yes we was playing bad. But most if not all was esrly in the season or before harden said u know what i need to get in shape n be the mvp. Point is the team is trending up in those stats

    There is truth mixed in with the drama and over reaction. Yes, the team is incredibly inconsistent. Yes, We need help in the worst of ways. Yes, Paul as a Rocket takes more than he gives. Yes, Gordon is mentally and or emotionally weak. Yes, for us to be successful Harden has to do once in a generation type things on the daily. All true, IMO. However, the sky is not falling. (Calm down because we as fans can’t control anything to do with the team => if you can’t control it, don’t worry about it because it’s wasted emotion). Our coach is paid to get wins => if he were to open the rotation to lesser team the players would respond.

    There is nowhere for Paul to be traded so this is our Rockets love them or not.

    OP isn't wrong. We are what we are. Our record reflects that.

    We care about the good teams and don't care about the bad teams. We don't care about getting the top seed the same way we did last year.

    lmao

    The Rockets have consistently lost to some of the worst teams in the NBA this season. It has NOTHING to do with the tightness of the Western Conference. We have displayed zero ability to consistently win the games that we should comfortably win.

    The Rockets can compete with anybody in the NBA, but they can lose to anybody in the NBA. Their record is EXACTLY what it should be.

    OKC and Denver should not be in the same tier as Houston. We’re just allowing them to.

    Golden state knows it can win from any seed in the playoffs. The Rockets don’t have that luxury.

    Nonsense... If we're healthy we're not even talking about this as an issue.... If OKC missed significant time from two of their top four players they wouldn't be in as good a position as we are.. Probably no team would be in as good shape outside maybe GS.

    Really they are average minus CP3 and EG if Harden is his normal 30ppg self …. they are above anytime Harden plays superman no matter who's on the court.

    Is this because the team is mediocre? Meh. Hopefully it’s the injuries.

    Why are you not taking into account we do not have a full roster?
