    Well gents, I’m gonna call it a night. We have to learn to show up more against good teams. Most of our big money players shat the bed.

    Outside of bombing OKC thunder bus what can you do? LA Clippers gave them SGA and so many picks. Rockets didnt have such luck. They still did a good job in the rebuild just not as good as OKC.

    Having Jimmy Butler wont put us over OKC gimme a break. Do you even know how the cap works? Paying 36 yr old Butler will just make the team worse.

    Can’t win big nba games under the bright lights when you can’t hit jump shots.

    no they aren't. they are inexperienced. they are also children. This team rarely exudes softness. they just cant shoot.

    Our starters besides Brooks are horrible.

    I don't mind making a trade.

    Good game! It’s good to have a game in the spotlight. We aren’t ready but that makes sense. We need a star just to get star calls but that will come in time. We need to improve but I think we are on our way. Go Rockets!

    I’m glad I got to see the Rockets. A lot of good stuff with this team but still a ways to go to.

    That I agree, Butler plays 50 games a year ...... dude is cashing in.......

    Plays a couple tough Playoff series a year but that is probably an easy paycheck.

    GREAT SCOTT….this isnt confusing. We missed in the paint. We missed uncontested outside of the paint. We missed. A lot. It’s really difficult to have to overcome that so often.

    It's the bad shooting. You can only win so much being this bad at shooting. We really need a shooter.

    that should have been the reason to win. this corny as post game show should be anyone's reason to beat the thunder.
