    they are getting wide open shots somebody else besides Harden has to hit shots. If they hit their shots Rockets win easily.

    Relax. Every team would lose the 4th game on the road. It’s scheduled.

    Why are starters still in ?

    Any coach worth his salt would have given scrubs garbage time .

    The “rotation” plays this listless and out of sync and their punishment is to play out the game ? You think Hartenstein or Clark will see any more minutes next game ? We’ve been using PJ and Clint as our main bigs with 0 backup . You just can’t do that in today’s game

    It's Christmas so I guess it's too much to ask for our players to show up with some effort. I mean Harden basically just walked around the entire game so our role players just followed his lead.

    With Westbrick, you just knew this kind of game will show up because he will have a couple good games and then revert back to Worstbrook, he's been like that his entire career.

    When Harden getting double teamed, these are what happened :

    1. He pass the ball away and just stand at the mid court doing nothing, and because he is not getting his points and lacking interest on the game, he became a more statue on defense than usual.

    2. Rather than Russ getting the pass and run the offense of 4v3, instead he is standing at the Conner or the weak side to take a guarded 3.

    3. You will either see Tucker drive and then lose the ball or having a bad pass, or even worse, Capela get the ball driving to the rim and whatever it is, bad thing always happen.

    4. MDA failing to make any adjustments on all of above is also an amazing coaching effort.

    5. When EG comes back, it will help because he can drive and create, but every team will double Harden and this team will just crumble like a pile of cow ah’t.

    Like I said, in this league you're only as good as your last game apparently. I don't know why but this is the mentality that many people have. This place was on cloud 9 after the Clippers game and now its in the sh!tters.

    We are going to be fine guys, relax.

    Why is it every time we play the Warriors, the refs do not call fouls on them but do on us? This is BS, Silver. It is so obvious. We are beating them on all boxscore categories except FTs.

    HARDEN HAD 1 FT SHOT FOR THE WHOLE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Rockets did not bring their A-Game
    The Refs definitely had their A-Game working

    Rockets could not overcome the two obstacles

    They will need to work on the Trap . . . .. .
    I can fault Harden's lack aggressiveness

    But when there are two men guarding him at the tip off circle
    4-3 has to work . . . .

    What is working for the other team is
    3-3 plus leave Westbrook open

    Double Harden . . .. Leave Westbrook open . . . .3 - 3

    He's probably referring to the gate keeper cheerleader squad that cries everytime someone makes a post critical of the Rockets play.
