    I think this Rockets team will definitely have issues coming back from games when they get down 10+ points.

    Dantoni needs to coach this team or just go ahead and walk.

    Bad body language and just standing around watching Harden, sounds like last year's team. I have no idea how a coach can just accept that and not have put in much more sets with off the ball body movement, screens and such.

    This is definitely a huge issue. If Russ is getting us plenty of opportunities in the fastbreak, then I can live with the turnovers, but if we aren't even getting out in transition, it will be a problem.

    It will be adjustment to get these two on the same page. I also hope the Rockets shooters don't start out so damn cold this season, that was another problem at the start of last season. So far, a lot of bricking. Clutchfans is going to lose their **** the first few games of the season.

    It's so funny how the narrative changed when we picked up Westbrook.

    All these people doing 180's and forgetting that Westbrook has always been an inefficient stat padder who is detrimental to winning.

    Good luck watching that ball hog play with Harden.

    Absolutely no ****ing advantage whatsoever when Harden walks the ball down the court.

    If not for Harden, we'd be down 30 now.

    Russ is showing me he passes and can set up his teammates good. Coach is showing me no signs of life. Harden still has that choke gene.

    Harden is also still only the reason the Rockets have any semblance of hope every year.

    Harden is going to be tired at some point soon. MDA did zero to alleviate workload in offense. These refs are weak by the way.

    Boxing out and switching defense killing us again.

    WTF coach: Harden just hoisting up ill-advised threes while he’s clearly tired and a small guy on Gasol while you have Tyson in the game?! This is not going to end well.

    Beautiful dribble drive.
