    EG is playing like a scrub...I often hate watching him play...brick after brick from 3 and tragic drives to the rim where he’s screaming for a foul every time and throwing his hands up at the refs making stank faces

    I hate to see it

    why can't we run him off screens and curls for a couple midrange shots to get him going? instead of launching 30 foot bricks galore

    He might be having fun but it is torture for those who watch him.

    I am growing to hate how the Rockets seem to always discard all their development players. Then I love how I get to see them as starters on other teams. I am so excited that hopefully real soon (fingers crossed), I get to see these two dudes (Hartenstein & Clemons) go hustle for another team.

    Please keep playing the center with the dyed hair patch, you know who I am referring to right? He is the one who always looks lost under the rim. I cant even begin to discuss the whiner.

    Go refs!!
    Please keep blowing your whistle and control this vicious game we call basketball.

    Gordon cannot handle the ball very well and it’s a serious problem.

    You all have such short memories. EG starts slow shooting the ball every year. Let’s talk when he’s winning us games in January with his clutch shooting.

    Good point bruh, but isn't he a MVP scrub?

    Minimal rotation, on top of waiting around second guessing what Harden is going to do. Kinda hard to fully judge players imo.

    Well there goes my theory that he was tanking it to not get traded

    Get it together EG.

    Or maybe he got paid, knows he can’t be traded so he doesn’t give af.

    I agree with this, but my biggest problem is MDA is giving games away and that hurts our seeding chances for the playoffs. He should have learned a lesson from last year about this very thing. We lost 2 games by 6 and 7 points to me these are coaching loses, if Gordon is not playing well play Austin or Ben Mc who are capable shooters and defenders.

    The bigger concern however is how Houston plays really hard only in the 4th qtr. This is a bigger coaching issue and has also been a Rocket problem for years. Anthony Davis was referencing Lebron on NBA TV and paraphrasing here, but he said we are fighters and in most cases when stars get together they have a tendency to relax. If that was not a direct shot at Houston outside of RW, I don't know what is and I apply this to coaching as well as the players.

    It’s not like the group he uses is bad. We’ve had a chance to win each game. People like u need to chill. Capela can’t play in crunch time with westbrook. Two non shooters would not work and luckily despite the lack of size we are still rebounding well.

    If EGo is garbage
    And CC is garbage on fire
    ————————————
    If the wind is right, that could easily lead to EGo on Fire

    Give me a break. If he was good he would play over freaking nene. Thats all he had to compete against.

    Clemons will be better period. N once he do see the floor its over
