    Can someone explain why don't we run 7 seconds or less offense?

    Harden is probably too slow for that. Too much A1 sauce and Kona grill

    We looked like zombies out there. No competitive fire or taking responsibility for poor decisions. No effort until the last 5 min... why can't we play with a sense of urgency from minute 1??!!!!

    Looks like just a terrible effort tonight, glad I missed it and will definitely not be watching. Hate to see that but always happens a few times a year at least. Hopefully we keep these types of games to a minimum, we aren't good enough to get away with these types of games.

    Harden has to conserve energy for defense

    The Rockets beat two bad to average teams missing key players in the Jazz and Pistons and that had posters crowning the Rockets asses. Then reality against a decent but non-contender happened.

    I was there again tonight. Altuve was there too. He left after 3. The performance was terrible.

    We coulda been 10-5... now we hit the road and probably come back a 500 team.

    Harden takes about 7 seconds bringing the ball up the court, no lie.

    I love him, think we can win with him...but man he's so slow at times.

    Rockets beat the Spurs so I think that negates that argument.

    They are at where we think they should have been at right now. Aren't a top team, not a terrible team, somewhere above average.

    The 9-game home-winning streak vs TOR is over

    Wack ass effort and focus the majority of the game.

    The Spurs are a new team. Their current core aren't contenders.

    Parker didn't play anyway. We were lucky that game didn't go to OT.

    We're a new team too and the Spurs current team is better than most of the league.

    Why can't I choose the right damn Rockets game to take my family to. They came in from out of town hyped only to see a flat, unmotivated, crap team show up. This is like the 4th game in a row this has happened.

    I really wish they could have found a way to pair Harden with Lowry.
