    What is wrong with Houston?

    First they start out unprepared to a team missing a bunch of players, now they've blown a 10 point lead? They're a hot mess, like us!

    Of course they have, they're coached by Terry Stotts.

    The whole team has been playing poorly all season. Scapegoating Little and Giles who barely play is fundamentally misunderstanding the team's struggles.

    Atleast their rebuilding and have a plan. What are we doing? Just plug a bunch of scrubs with the best player we ever had and hope for the best

    Jones keeping us close by creating two turnovers and blocking a shot.

    Yep, that's the reason. Remind me again of all those players who struggled greatly under Stotts and went on the light the league on fire elsewhere. He's coached 100 players here, so you should have no problem listing 20+

    Thing is, Houston's defense is bad too - we just have to make the open looks (which of late we have not been doing).

    It was the radio or TNT broadcast that said they are top 2 in defense since the Harden trade.

    Figures. We play good defense and they hit a three at the shot clock buzzer.

    What do you mean? It was wide open. Carmelo had to guard 2 people and chose to guard neither of them.

    I'm so tired of excuses for shitty play that is evident when they're fully healthy.

    If Kantor is going to step out, he cannot let the guy glide right around him. force him back inside.
