    We need to stop playing like poop against teams we should be beating. It’s so frustrating. We are wasting easy W against easy teams. We could move up the seeding if we play with some consistency. Every time I see the nuggets Dallas or clippers lose i look at the standings yet but we blow up the lead against San Antonio, We let sacramento come back and win at the buzzer or play like poop against the crippled warriors. We had a chance but we had no one against New Orleans but with those wins we would be ahead of Denver LAC or Dallas.
    So I hope the team has learned and plays well on Wednesday after these couple of days off and we play against Atlanta.

    Looks like one of those trap games where we should beat them but it all depends on the team. The energy they bring and if they are focused. Or if they think they can chill and play soft then we will lose.

    I hope I hope they learned but sadly the rockets even with cp3 we tend to be overconfident and play without energy and lack of effort.

    What the hell is up with the schedule? why do we have 5 days off?! :mad:

    It feels like the All-star break without any actual activities going on.

    I get that we could use the rest with how much Dantoni plays our guys but this just means we're going to have a crap ton of games on back to backs or little rest in between.

    Whoever made the nba schedule is a dumb moron. How you gonna have this game then give the rockets 4 days rest and make them play back to back night games after that.

    Didn't get to watch the game live, but thankfully NBA League pass
    had it available to watch yesterday even though it was originally broadcast on ESPN.
    Typically games that are not broadcast on AT&T are not available to watch.
    GO ROCKETS! Nice job taking control of that game.

    The duffed WB dunk was hilarious

    Why the hell do we have a 5 day gap between our games?

    The hell am I supposed to until the 8th?

    we knew russy was an inefficient overrated player. paul george is overrated too. chris paul is a great practitioner of winning basketball, but not someone you can count on physically. the surprise is that even with the swap of an efficient winning player for an inefficient one prone to loser play, we might be better off.

    One is like having two jars of peanut butter (CP3 and Harden)
    the other
    is like having Peanut Butter and Jelly (Westbrook and Harden)

    Sometimes the difference is greater than the sum of the parts

    Rockets will crush Hawks and Russ will be amped to play Thunder.
