    Why not? It is not like they were hitting difficult contested shots, they were getting good open shots.

    The Rockets epitomize dumb decision making.

    I will say the offense has looked better the past few weeks.

    Not sure why they have reverted to this Jan-Feb offense that had many of us ready to jump off a bridge. It looks to be the same kind of pointless offense that looks like it has no goals or intention, just to get a shot up for a rebound for a better shot.

    It’s a lot of thin-skinned fans on this page when their favorite little *&$# gets criticized. Man…

    To be fair, we are missing KD, FVV, and Adams as well. Not sure which team is worse off in that regard. Probably still the Lakers, but not by much.

    Need more pressure and better communication on defense. Everyone scared for their guy to be the one that scores and getting blamed for it. Go get the ball, be ready to switch and cover it.

    The pieces don’t fit together. We go 1 on 4 every single time. Talent Yes. Team No. If it hasn’t been fixed by now it never will be.

    I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that Milk Hair, Silass, and Udoker are all the same dude.

    I can say, but I won’t . Gotta go to the d&d forum for that, most media will not call him out.

    also the rockets have the worst media personnel in all of basketball, they don’t ask any questions. Udoka in nyc or Philly, he’s jumping off the balcony from the hate.
