The Rockets continue to be an embarrassing franchise.

Hopefully he will run them in the ground.

If you asked James Harden to list the places he'd like to be tonight, how many would he have to list before saying "a basketball court"? A hundred? A thousand? What a dog.

Rockets are a dumpster fire. It's unreal how little they're trying. No clue what to make of this, but Harden is going at no more than 50%

I found a team with more hope long term than the Nets. God d@mn do the Rockets suck.

Words I never thought I would type: Corey Brewer and Marcus Thornton are the only reasons this isn't a blowout.

They need to blow up this **** Rockets team. What an embarrassment.

Well the Rockets still suck ass. Thanks for not showing up James Harden. Fake star

lol The Rockets are a total disgrace. Especially Harden. Two losses to the Nets this season.

To think these bums got McHale fired makes it even worse.

I know I'm a little late to this game, but if the Billy King avi wasn't so great, maybe you could go for something like this:

I think this fits the malicious/bad taste vibe a bit better:

And here I pictured you a graceful swan-like being. But you're probably right.

Anyhoo, obligatory bad feels for RHJ the person aside, the effect on the Nets should be enormous.

Check out the RPM rankings just released.

RHJ leads 2-guards by a mile in D-RPM , and is 7th overall among SGs in RPM. That's elite roleplayer territory.

His replacements - Ellington, Brown and Bogey - are ranked 75th, 76th and 89th respectively.

This is the equivalent of replacing Lopez with Bargnani.

Yikes. I do feel bad for RHJ - like the player, but he's young and will bounce back. Hopefully not their record without him.

Weird matchup. Brooklyn gives up a ton of open threes every game and that's all Houston wants to do so they don't bother trying for anything else. Two give and gos all night led to two wide open buckets

Harden is just a joke. Dribbles for 18 seconds just so he can then throw wild passes to nobody. And Dwight is basically just a guy at this point. Softer than Brook Lopez!

And to cap off the game the refs ignore a 4 step travel by Jarrett Jack after the offensive rebound... SMH

This clip summarizes the way I feel after watching that game. Dumber for having watched it:

Harden should've stayed on the bench. Their coach is weak and can't make his superstar unhappy, or he loses his already shaky HC position.

Lawson,Thornton,Terry,Brewer,Howard lineup was destroying the Nets, then he puts back Harden and it kills their ball movement and defensive tenacity. Also that goaltending call on Capela is disgusting and should've been reviewed.

rickrolled · Post #1435 » by **rickrolled** » Wed Dec 9, 2015 3:07 am

Its important that the Nuggets and Kings win tonight.

DK-All Day · Post #1436 » by **DK-All Day** » Wed Dec 9, 2015 3:21 am

The Rockets make my stomach turn. Disgusting team.

Jingles · Post #1437 » by **Jingles** » Wed Dec 9, 2015 3:28 am

Don't worry about isolated wins like this. The Nets don't win when their opponent plays well. And even when they catch a team on an off-night they're still either losing anyway or barely scraping by with a W. They don't have the recipe for easy wins or sustained excellence. I mean, Houston was terrible tonight yet Hollins still had to ride the starters to the tune of 34, 37, 38, 39 and 43 minutes. That adds up, and it'll only get worse with RHJ out.

Who knows, maybe they'll try to take advantage of nights like this and move their few adequate players for draft picks 8-)

I see the Nuggets, but why the Kings? Threat to BKN at the bottom?

If Rockets keep this up Dwight Howard will opt out (has an opt out option) and be a free agent. I dont love Dwight, but Ainge would have to at least consider him, right? Howard/Durant....yeah Ill take it. Lol
