    I'm worried that we are looking so bad that Harden will change his mind and decide we are not one of the teams he wants to go to.

    Great. Now do the same thing for the Rockets bench. Oh, that's right. You can't.

    Kanter was a huge reason for our post-season success in making the western conference finals.

    Hood was the top 3 point shooter in the league and having his best start to the season before he got injured.

    Without Melo, we don't get to the post season last year.

    Let's just have you keep selling us on "the coach not making a difference." It's a lie.

    There's no reason why we're losing to this roster that the Rockets have. It's slowly turning into a blowout.

    Try being honest. It would be cute on you.

    The excuses the commentators are telling us from the team is that they need more time playing with each other, what the fuck, Houston threw in bunch of undrafted guys last minute and are wrecking us. This problem is all coaching.

    You know, I'm starting to think this team isn't that good.

    Harden with 10 points and 10 assists...in 15 minutes.

    Neil should trade for Harden during half time so he plays for us in the 2nd half

    This is 100% coaching. If you don't get that then maybe don't wear a mask in the pandemic.

    Harden won't change the trajectory of this team with Stotts at the helm.

    Facts.
