    Overall good game, but being outscored by 21 in the fourth sucked.
    And CJ: -16 and some pivotal turnovers.

    Main positives: Zach and...Meyers. Oh, and Ed.

    Why wasn't Aminu on Harden more? Harden was embarrassing everybody we put on him, but it was Vonleh and a one-legged Dame, so... not surprising.

    It’s not like the team is super talented but to allow yourself to get roasted by one player game after game and not adjust whatsoever is all on Stotts. I’d fire him tonight. I’d take Fizdale any day over him but for now let Vanterpool coach.

    Yes, but at least he plays defense and allows the offense to run effectively.

    When you’re repairing a machine you change one thing then test; you don’t change a bunch of stuff at once before testing.

    Fire Stotts now, but make no other moves until the deadline.

    I just fail to understand why you leave the best iso player in the league, and let him do his thing without any help defense.

    You don't go on a losing streak because refs call dinky dink fouls against you every game. That's just defeatist. Hardin will get those calls regardless. But this is first time playing him this year. We are losing to teams we would have beat last year.

    Look, I am probably up there on hating Meyers - but the dude came out and earned quality minutes in the 4th and the matchup dictated it. Stotts is a joke of a coach.

    Yes. Our three biggest guys were the only ones on the team with positive +/-. That should tell him something.

    They shot 30 more FTs than we did. THIRTY. You don’t beat teams when the refs bend you over like that.

    As much as that sucks and everyone should be pissed I have to wonder when the last time a team won when there opponents shot 30+ more FTs especially at fucken home.
    I'm betting the win % of those games over the entire NBA history is under 5%.

    How many days did they have to prepare for the Rockets and that was the D Stotts elected to go with down the stretch. No help on Harden? Just let them spread you out and let him go one on one? Nice adjustments.

    Meyers played so hard... and wasn't rewarded... he also spreads the floor and at least is a big body in the middle to throw at the Rockets guards when they penetrate...
