    How many times are we gonna face Denver? Seriously, needs to be a rule that you can't play someone in your group again.

    Facing the champions 4 times before half december, not even 20 games in is ridiculous. And indeed there needs to be a rule to do this better. This in-season tournament is such a **** up on all fronts: courts, scheduling, counting towards the regular season but then act like it's completely separate.

    PS: We don't see the Nuggets anymore after this + they are banged up right now so lucky us.

    I'd be worried if we weren't the Nugget slayers. Bring it on.

    Magic is Celtics' kryptonite, I would like to see if Rockets is Nuggets'.

    Jeff Green can keep yell out Denver's next play.

    SMH. We couldn't draw a non playoff team like the spurms or j*zz?

    Murray makes a difference.

    This is what happens when you are in the losers bracket.

    I blame all the IST haters for bringing us down

    @J.R. this one is on you bruh

    @JW86 thanks for reaping the bitter fruit from your whiny whinge fest - sorry the courts hurt your delicate, precious eyes and you had to watch the Rockets nearly get into their first major tournament this decade.

    This in season tournament is really stupid. Apparently Adam Silver can do anything he wants.

    it’s also hillarious

    and honestly , Denver is not the worst matchup right now . Coming off a finals , they are resting for later in the year .

    I’m enjoying watching the Rockets play competitive games against good teams. These games against Denver have been fun.

    It’s completely ****ed our schedule up..I get the idea but I can’t help to to feel it was poorly implemented, or rushed. Or both

    I'm not so pessimistic about that game if fvv return by then. I think this nuggets would be competitive if he had FVV. I remember us cutting it down to 8 once. We'll probably lose again but we'll be on their ass until the end.

    The in season tournament was a horrible idea. Everyone knew that but the NBA went through with it anyways.

    They need to can the IST after this season. Just call it a flop and move on. The TV ratings weren't even up that much despite the novelty.

    YOU for hating something that people like, in order to seem "COOL" to a bunch of strangers.
