Why are we only capable of playing this well on the road?

    It is definitely not a coincidence that the infamous 50 point quarter and now our 70-40 annihilation of the Jazz in the 1st half is coming on the road.

    I know we're an older team so we can rally around adversity in harsh conditions, but why can't we seem to get up and play at this level in front of our own home crowd?

    I know our crowd energy is pretty weak, but part of that is the performance on the court. I guarantee you we'd be going nuts at TC if the team could go up 30 at the half or score 50 in a quarter.

    I hope they figure something out because we will not have road court advantage at any point of the playoffs.

    Rockets up by 30 at half time and people still want to create threads to whine and moan

    the TC crowd sucks and is empty at tip...Rockets start the game off playing in the equivalent of a local library

    game 2 was a wake up call for them tho, as was game 3 against the Wolves

    James Harden is more rested tonight due to Utah nightlife options. Thank you, LDS folks!

    My theory is we seem to feed off of crowd energy but it doesn't matter who the crowd is rooting for. Tilman and Morey need to figure out how to make TC jumping.

    Didn’t we dominate them in game 1?

    Other arenas have more energy. Our home crowd is trash.
