    I wasn't worried early in the season but I'm starting to now. 9-9 is not good in the west. Our only saving grace right now is everyone else is doing bad too.

    I wish I knew whether we are a contender (meaning we make at least west finals), or a team barely competing for playoffs

    I'm not just talking about length. Lack of size in like THICKNESS... wtf haven't they gotten someone to back up Clint esp for nights like tonight. Nene is clearly retired at this point.

    I honestly am not sure for the 1st time in a while as to what Morey/MDA are trying to do with this squad, but the whole mix in rookies as back ups etc is not working now.

    We got plenty of thickness but it's in the backcourt.

    I stop giving a damn about this game in the first half. Rox had that look from the opening tip that they were about to flop in this game. This is a poorly constructed team with no depth, no real PF, no consistent back up C, no back PG, etc., etc.

    Rockets got cocky, cause we are 9-8!! Not surprising, a whole team normally acts like his leader's personality.
    We're basically losing the 1st seed in these games. Once GSW gets Curry, they are going to win near 60, definitely more than 55. And that is a number that's beginning to be a challenge for us, considering that there are still many games to be played with the current roster, and the fact that the NBA has improved its level overall. Morey better moves something soon or even the seeds 2-3 could be in jeopardy.

    It’s almost like he wasn’t the main issue. Nah that couldn’t be it.

    I don't think you understand... this team, as currently constructed, may not make the playoffs.

    This team has no room for rest, I hope they saw it tonight, u aren’t the Lebron Cavs in east (he didn’t even rest), u aren’t warriors, u have earned nothing, CP already got his contract, go out there and play, if u get injured, then sorry at least u tried. West is too competitive and rockets are out of playoffs right now. We don’t have the privilege of resting, specially with a 7 man rotation, go out there and freaking play

    He was part of the problem, but certainly not the entire problem.

    Rockets didn't respect Cleveland, fell behind early, and had to fight uphill the entire game. Rockets turned the ball over, got out-rebounded badly, and the Cavs made tough shots down the stretch.

    Should've handled Detroit last night without overtime. The team knew Paul wasn't gonna play tonight.
