    I somehow would prefer that the Rockets show heart and completely dominate the Pelicans in the fourth to take the come from behind win. But maybe that's just me.

    MDA is the most overrated offensive coach in history. Nash carried the Suns, not him."Just shoot tons of threes! " Wow, what a genius. I bet other teams haven't thought of that. This brickfest is just embarrassing.

    1) Blown out at home
    2) Game on national TV
    3) No one showed up to play
    4) Favored to win this game
    5) First game of the season, so winning would go a long way in confidence / chemistry boosting

    Not a fluke win. And most definitely, not a fluke loss. This team has problems.

    Well with all the "One Hammy away" talk, I'm not that surprised. Rockets came out like they had won the chip and had no chip on their shoulder. Rockets need to get that thirst back.

    Exactly. I’d rather expose all the problems in the 1st game rather than the 82nd game.

    MCW has played too many minutes.

    i thought he was just supposed to be insurance for if cp3 got hurt.

    i hope dantonio is not trying to make him a regular part of the rotation.

    We're playing at 50% and we're still getting back into the game.

    My fear is that the team is complacent and need a little humility.

    @Nook

    Either scenario, the team has a long way to go, MDA needs to figure out effective rotations. Defense is obviously terrible too.

    Rockets should've just played with some of this fire from the start instead of walking around like it's preseason against a chinese team, now they're still down 17 and probably it's too late...i've seen this before...
