    There must be change this offseason. Ime's the convenient scapegoat, but Stone should be shown the door.

    Stone really decided to punt the season by not upgrading the bench. Our bench has to be the worst in the entire league.

    I used to hate on The James Harden Rockets for their playoff play but damn, we had it so good... Basically it was our championship years....Never appreciated them...

    Bari 4-5 from 3 and has been open on 3 of the last 5 possessions and hasn’t touched the ball outside of getting fouled on an offensive rebound …

    that is the Rockets in a handbag

    Oh great, roll the ****ing dunkstranaut out to remind us those great jerseys and the actual brand-appropriate mascot will be done next season. You know they'll get it ass backwards and we'll be playing in mustard jerseys with red trim next season.

    That's what I'm seeing too. All season long. Udoker who claims to be a defensive minded coach couldn't defend a pnr
