Has Royce or Katz or anyone ever probed this asshat as to why he keeps our best bench player on the bench?

We'd just get some canned, evasive response because Donovan is a moron.

Patrick Patterson should be our 6th man. Instead, he's our 9th man and losing minutes to inferior players like Huestis and Grant.

He can get away with it because nobody actually cares and pays attention.

If Kerr played Iggy as his 9th man, some people might question what he's doing. Nobody cares about how many minutes Patterson plays. And your generic Thunder fan might just be stupid enough to agree with this. Grant can dunk, you know?!

Over the last 5 games Harden is averaging 15 FTAs per game. That's nonsensical.

And this is where we could lose the game.

This lineup is scoreless three minutes into the 4th. You might want to change something, Billy.

Ariza and Gordon were such phenomenal adds/pickups by Morey. They're two of the best role players in the NBA. Granted, with Gordon, he's always been that player but he decided Houston was the place he would inexplicably always be healthy for the first time in his career.

How much time per practice do the Rockets spend on drawing cheap 3-shot-fouls? I've never seen a team get as many 3-shot-fouls in their favor per game as the Rockets over the last couple of years.

It would be grand if we got the same amount of ticky tack contact fouls

WHY IS FELTON IN THE GAME

If that had been Harden on the fastbreak, he'd be at the FT line right now.

Am I being a homer or the refs are helping Houston a lot? smh

The ticky-tack, cheap, questionable calls are definitely going in their favor much more often than our favor.

Somebody check up on these refs. Must be Houston staffers in uniform.

NaturalThunder · Post #75 » by **NaturalThunder** » Tue Dec 26, 2017 3:12 am

Hack-a-Robes. He's going to have to come out and we're going to lose his defense on Harden.

Funcrusher · Post #76 » by **Funcrusher** » Tue Dec 26, 2017 3:13 am

Get him out the game, Billy. Put in Patterson, Billy.

Russ is such a great teammate. Loved his attitude motivating Roberson.

Pillendreher · Post #78 » by **Pillendreher** » Tue Dec 26, 2017 3:16 am

That's just a bail out nonsense call.

Gordon was trying to Rocket his way to another BS, cheap three-shot foul, throws up some BS, and it falls.

What worries me is that our big 3 is shooting very well and we are only up 5
