Ariza isn't right but playing. Hopefully tonight things turn but Boston is hot like every other team coming into town.

They look like they at least have a pulse tonight, that's good to see. Hope they can keep it going!

Capela/Harrell are fun to watch.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Just got in. Like what I'm seeing much more tonight!

Thanks for starting the game thread, AB!

Harden might have found his stroke from deep tonight but still cant find it from anywhere else

I feel like Ty Lawson being the primary ball handler to start the play is way more efficient. Harden tends to over dribble, running out the play clock for 10s for no real benefit. Lawson at least starts the play as soon as he gets over half court. Plus, defenders are less likely to leave Harden on help defense. Worst case, the ball swings back to Harden with 10s left.

At least everyone is involved this way. In the past couple games, I got the feeling the rest of the team felt like they were playing with Kobe and were not motivated to play.

Texans are playing better defense than the Rockets tonight.

That's disturbing.

Brewer is in a dark place and can't get out.

I don't know what these guys can do. Perhaps it's time to talk McHale

2-4 AT HOME. About to be 2-5

That's embarrassing

Surely there is something good to watch on Netflix right now.

I'm going to go check.

I honestly don't know what happened to this team... I like to think of myself as someone who always has a bunch to say but in this rare moment... I have nothing...

I am speechless as well. Getting blown out every game when this team had championship ambitions. Stunning.

Still two days away from Jessica Jones dropping on Netflix.

Maybe I'll check out Hemlock Grove. Anyone watch this?

It's either the curse of the Kardashians or the 2K cover curse or maybe both since they look so bad it can't be one single problem...
