    The Harden ISO and Howard Low Post are killing the ball movement.

    And Harden and Howard are not the greatest at that kind of offense.

    That is the only thing at our disposal right now. No one on the team can hit a shot when it comes to crunch time other than Harden. We differs and they let him down and the team down all the time. Hate it or Love it, Harden's iso is the best weapon we have in the half court offense, whether he is driving, breaking ankles and shooting, or if he is driving and dishing.

    You asked me a silly question. What do you mean who asked me to root for the team? Are you expecting an actually answer?

    I'm obviously rooting for this team. My point is compared to other Rocket teams this one is way more frustrating. A lot of it is effort and focus.

    Everyone with lame responses like yours and the "we don't need bandwagon fans" are missing my point

    Yes, this team is really overrated. The coach with a big man NBA experience is teaching a group of players to play the style which is similar to a team in YMCA. There is no much chemistry for a team, everyone is happy to brick three points even although we have the best center in NBA, it is the time to root the Texans because of the new coach and new qb.

    It's hard to comprehend how bad this thread is.. Shouting to the world how hard this team is to root for then trying to defend your fanhood is a clown move bro.

    LOL I agree this team is hard to watch right now.

    If the Rockets would get ultra-defensive like the posters in this thread we wouldn't have a problem.

    I know it's hard right now BUT they will grow up and they will play better! Honestly, I just think they ran out of gas. For the past two weeks, we've been winning with our starters. Garcia, Casspi, and Brewer just don't cut it.

    Nah, simple minded fan boys like you won't understand. If you criticize the Rockets on here everyone is quick to call you a bandwagon fan or tell you bye and root for someone else.

    It has nothing to do with criticizing... I would like to know what criticism you pointed out that has not been discussed ad nauseum on the GARM.

    Agree 100% A true fan will say "**** the Rockets" out of anger and frustration but only because they care and can't stand to see their team lose. But when it's all said and done, you just can't wait to see them take the court the very next game..

    Agree. I'm guessing that's most of us.

    I will still watch every game, but this has been by far the least enjoyable team to watch in recent memory. Say what you will about the mediocrity treadmill, but at least those guys gave effort.
