December 17, 20196 yr so i check the score and 16-2 Spurs at Houston with Trainwreck the only Rocket scoring. The world is officially coming to an end.
December 17, 20196 yr If we can get Russ to stop shooting threes we can beat anybodyOr how about play a little better to start games? Seems like every game I’ve watched lately we are trailing at halftime.

They played really well in the first half last time they played the Spurs then had a 2nd half collapse. While I wold prefer 4 solid quarters I'd much rather have the dub

While I wold prefer 4 solid quarters I'd much rather have the dub It was a 4th quarter collapse against the Spurs last game. I think the Rockets outscored the Spurs by double figures in the 3rd. The problem I see is Harden has to expand too much injury to win games, because D'Antoni refuses to play his bench any meaningful minutes consistently.
December 18, 20196 yr That has been D'Umbtoni's problem his entire career and why this needs to be his last stint as Rockets coach. Fuck I would kill to have Rick Adelman back over this crap.

Good gawd I can't type worth a shit. expend too much energy.

December 20, 20196 yr man this is great shit. i hope all of you who only post on this thread to bitch are getting to see it.
December 20, 20196 yr I turned it on just in time for the rockets to go on a tear to win it. Good shit.
December 20, 20196 yr I was at a darn Xmas party that didn't have the game on. So I missed this. Looks like Russ went off. I'm assuming they tried some gimmick defenses to produce that many more shots for Russ than Harden? Nice F'n Win!!! Edited December 20, 20196 yr by Horns RD Standard
December 20, 20196 yr That was the most entertaining regular season basketball game i have seen in a very long time
December 20, 20196 yr Holy shit I was watching the beginning of this game, they weren't really engaged. Missed the 2nd half when a basketball game broke out. Awesome. Harden finally stood up to Westbrook thank God.

Every night, the Rockets will have the best SG in the game, and a Top 3 PG. No other team can say that.
December 20, 20196 yr Now to avoid the letdown against the Suns tonight without Russ playing. I'm hoping for big things out of Chris Clemons.

I watched first things first this morning out of those shows and they said Westbrook was losing his cool and Harden got after him. When they were kicking Lou out the game I guess. Anyway, if this team could really help that would be awesome. Green and Gordon coming back too.

That's like saying nobody but the T-Wolves have the best C, Bucks have the best PF, Mavericks have the best SF, & Nets have the best PG any other qualifiers you throw on there are thus extraneous. I will say though the difference between #1 and #2 the various positions is a solid race at every single position except SG. Who is the 2nd best SG? Beal? Mitchell? It falls off a cliff after Harden.

December 22, 20196 yr No letdown against a feisty Suns team albeit they were missing Ricky Rubio who's been averaging over 11 assists a game. Revenge game against the Kings in Sac-town tomorrow night.
December 22, 20196 yr Man I'd really like to get Kaminsky on this roster. With only a $5M salary, would be very easy to do.
December 24, 20196 yr Looks like this road trip is wearing on the Rockets, but they hold on to win in Sacramento. De'Aaron Fox missing 5 FTs in the 4th quarter helped provide a cushion, otherwise could have been a shitshow like the previous match up.
December 25, 20195 yr Lol nice shot after halftime. Looks like they gonna keep it close and not beat that big 11 point spread
December 26, 20195 yr I would call it a chokelapse but they did only lead by 4 at halftime. This team is a garbage dump
December 26, 20195 yr No excuse for tonight's horrendous performance. Another data point towards not bringing D'Antoni back. At this point, it also looks like time to make a change in management/operations and get rid of the guy who brought in the last 2 head coaches.
December 26, 20195 yr First full game I have watched this year. Last full game I may watch this year. Ridiculous. They are nothing but a bunch of hoopers with no heart and will never win anything that matters.

The team is worn out from a long road trip and not engaged on Xmas against a bum team. Long season, I feel like they can make a run against the two LA teams in the playoffs.
