    No, I'm certain every one of us on this forum tonight is disappointed beyond belief.

    Since losing to the Pelicans and Kings, we all knew it's possible for the Rockets to lose to any crappy team on any given night, but the effort tonight is inexcusable.

    Is this the same ref crew that ime went nuclear on post game a while back?

    Feels like LA is getting a lot of soft calls and we aren't getting those same fouls.

    No one who played anything other than casual basketball would've ever suggested Fred wasn't instrumental. It's why you ignore those who said his loss would be negligible.

    Dillon was unfortunately a consequence of Jalen Green being so utterly garbage.

    This team would be infinitely better with Mike Malone as coach than Ime. It is what it is.

    Step one in solving it is not to have KD or Amen play point.

    The other Houston basketball team in 3rd ward plays real defense.

    Our offense is basically the go to LA Fitness pickup game offense.

    Bad coaching is the identity.

    I wish

    the offense looks so bad tonight I’m stunned

    our offense will get bottled up with ease in the playoffs…even when they do pass the ball around, it’s so aimless and zero advantages are created

    All the lady refs seem to hate the Rockets. Can we blame Udoka for that too?

    Instead of blowing a big 4th Q lead, rockets decided to reverse course and be the team that makes (fake) comeback

    Just a reminder...

    We've already lost to the Jazz, Pelicans, Kings, Mavs, and are on the way to losing to the Clips. Those are the 5 worst teams in the Western Conference.

    This team is lost without Fred and Dillon.
