    Nate- still wish we signed Smith? Biggest cancer in the league. One of the worst players in the NBA.

    This is why I don't like mid season moves. It's so hard to incorporate new players. Then when players actually suck, you are stuck with them

    The biggest beneficiary is Drummond.

    He seriously looks Shaq-like.

    No amount of jinx can turn their free fall around. They lost the mojo to compete because it's a mess of talent. Too many conflicting roles.

    It's no fluke that Howard's game is suffering now. Weird how a GM wouldn't see this! Thank God Morey is a fool. Houston could have been a scary team if managed right

    When you sign a guy who was waived by the Pistons to start for your team, it means you had zero faith in the team and the players obviously feel that.

    So glad we didn't sign him. Rockets can be scary good or scary bad. Smh.

    A GM grasping at straws... a roster in shambles... a forum full of idiots crying out for justice or at least refs punishing players other than Harden when they flop...

    THIS! IS! HOUSTON!

    I guess when "Houston, we have a problem" is too easy then there is a problem right?

    Nah, their problems are real and so is their free fall. Stating the obvious isn't a jinx. It's different if they were on some sort of tear and you say something based on SOS. But this is 100% a legit concern. They lost their versatility, which totally made them scary.

    Their current core group is a mess... Plane and simple. That's why I said "no amount of jinx can turn things around". It's well beyond that right now.

    What Houston needs to do is decide to go all in with Howard or Harden. The two aren't compatible. Use one of the stars to get the right compliment for the other player

    Don't even worry bro. Morey is as delusional as the clutch fans. He will never admit to his mistake of going all Whitsett on the Rockets

    7 points might be a career low for Shaq.

    In just 17 minutes.

    In his last 4 games, he has more TOVs (13) than made FGs (9).

    I'm so glad our GM isn't an idiot and almost as glad theirs is.
