    I feel like small ball lineup will always put our players into foul trouble no matter water. When you are constantly swiping at the ball down low, it's a coin flip whether you catch their wrist

    Why would I pay attention to a commercial that isn't even featuring Isaiah Hartenstein?

    here come the crybabies after a loss

    Were the Rockets supposed to go 8-0 to close out the regular season?

    Russ missing an ass load of FTS and taking very bad shots and turning the ball over a bunch is what cost us ultimately. He was just trying to hero ball it a few times too many tonight ...Dame gets in his head no doubt.

    Traded a decent rim protector for an inconsistent shooter that can sometimes rack up blocks but the team gets outrebounded by 20 every time and the game has to be won in the last few seconds. Is Morey a genius and I'm not seeing something?

    Then when you are undersized on the block you'll start doing more pushing and grabbing as fatigue sets in.

    Russ took a terrible shot when it was 102-103. Need a much better possession with a minute left

    Dreadful Westbrook game. Still can't believe that turnaround jumper.

    You seem to crawl out of you’re hole after a loss to bash harden regularly

    Rockets will either win close, lose close or get blown the F out. The lack of consistency with the simple things like free throws, turnovers and to a lesser extent (because we expect it) rebounding is too glaring. The 2 games we won it took dramatic things to happen. We've yet to play one game where we are strictly in control and have truly dominated the game due to this small ball brilliance.

    Bullshit. We just came off two great wins. Lose a close one and you drop in to troll.
    Typical, so predictable.

    harden had a pretty bad offensive game ... and we got absolutely boned by the refs.

    Not worried
