    This part of the season is playing out almost identically to last year at this time. The Rockets a year ago were 44-19 and playing some of their best ball of the season. Then they went on the road for 3 straight games against tough opponents. They had a close loss to OKC, then didn't bother to show up at Chicago and got smoked, and then had a close loss to the Heat resulting in their first 3-game losing streak of the season.

    Last week we were playing some of our best ball of the season(screwjob against Memphis notwithstanding) and with a record of 43-20 headed on the road for 3 straight tough opponents. We had a close loss to Portland, didn't bother to show up at Utah and are getting smoked, and next we go into LA trying to avoid our first 3-game losing streak of the season.

    He most certainly has. We all knew it was coming.

    Morey not valuing a 2nd playmaker and McHale's insistence on keeping a short rotation through March has officially taken its toll.

    Back to back against the high altitude is hurting him.

    Fast break defense is a joke. Get KJ in there and tell him to run.

    Grizz lost. We could be cruising in that 2nd seed.

    Just tuned in, is Harden hurt? Why are we getting blown out by the Jazz?

    Pablo with the 'Excuse me while I get out of your way so that you can get a nice rebound and 2 points on fast break" defense.

    No hustle. Just sit Harden. He looks tired. Dwight can't heal fast enough.

    The Gobert Report is wrecking and Harden is sucking.

    Like I said in the fire McHale thread, the team has faltered down the stretch of the regular season in each of McHale's years here. It's a pattern.
