    I hate to adopt this stance but this current group has too many liabilities that are going to be brutally exposed in the playoffs.

    A losing streak hopefully forces the owner and management to face reality and make some wholesale changes.

    You have to be smoking some grade A stuff to think that this team is a contender.

    It is in best interest of this team to go on a losing streak and get exposed and embarrassed for what it is:

    A ragged patch up team made of a number of scrubs under some poor coaching.

    After the top 3 and a half players on this squad, most of them have no business playing odd minutes here and there. And certainly no business logging heavy minutes on a contender.

    No one in our front office is taking responsibility because the owner doesn't even care about this team until the playoffs.

    Then he scapegoats someone (Bzdelik) who we actually need and tells the reporters we're all about championships here in Houston and he'll pay anything to win. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Any other competent front office would be lining up big trades by now if they actually cared about competing for the title this year.

    We need a blockbuster trade this deadline to salvage this season. We have so many unresolved issues.

    We were 25-11 before the loss to OKC which started the downward spiral.

    Where was this thread, then?

    it is not easy to see our team lose in this way I can see discontent among players they do not see that they want to play together they will be totally rendered this gives me bad vibes and I feel that we are not prepared unless there are drastic changes before the deadline

    The team could work with better coaching and leadership. Right now their is no accountability from the stars in this department

    JVG is a real Houston sports fan and our front office definitely deserves some criticism if no changes are made.

    Maybe. Or maybe we should enjoy our time in Mediocrityville before Tilman dooms us to laughingstock of the league.

    What changes do you even want to see?

    We can’t rebuild because we’ve already wasted assets.

    We can’t make trades because we’ve already wasted assets and our owner won’t pay.

    We are stuck with this team. Gonna be a long road ahead...

    A submissive man who's been around the game of BDSM, suddenly finds himself to be passed around to another dominatrix. He was actually done being a sub and wanted to become the dominant one, but is now back to square one. He finds himself tied up and gagged from the get go, being whipped into submission. He has no joy in this and knows he wants to make changes, he safe word no longer working, and the heat turned up. If she continues this, he will pass out and walk away from the situation as soon as she's done.

    Morey is that man who's out of options, but knows that he doesn't want this situation. There's no reason to get further whipped, spanked and being dominated more than he already is.

    Appears that your wish is coming true. About the losing streak, at least.

    25-11 is not enough to be a legit title contender. 25-11 is a 2nd round exit record.
