No more of that "I'm gonna clank this midranger and make a 3 two quarters later".


Houston's start to the season was atrocious, but they just got Jeff Bzdelik back. Harden is playing too...

Thought Bzdelik was coming back after Thanksgiving


It's said he's coming back full-time after Thanksgiving, so not sure how to interpret that exactly.

That foul call on Grant just now was an obvious makeup call.

And when is Paul George going to stop sucking offensively?

Seriously, how many wide-open 3s is PG going to miss this year?

Yeah that was stupid. Harden was called because he pushed off George. Holy ****, these refs are bad.

Never thought Deron Williams would be out of the league before Felton.

This lead would be 15ish if Paul George was even just a competent offensive player.

Still, can't really complain about being up by 10 after one quarter on the second night of a back-to-back without our best player against a top 3-5 team.

Yeah, George is doing some weird ****. It’s like he forgot where he put his game and he’s struggling to find it.

Gotta love an offensive possession that ends with Felton taking a fadeaway 18-footer over a much taller defender.

I don't give a damn if he made it. That's terrible offense.

Houston starters killing our all-bench lineup to start the 2nd quarter. I know it's not easy to balance the rotation with Russ out, but come on Donovan...this is just straight up awful.

I don't know what's worse. The fact that we're shooting just 1/5 from the floor this quarter, or the fact that the Rockets have made as many field goals as we've attempted because we can't take care of the damn ball.

And Schroder turns it over for the 47th time this quarter which leads to a Houston layup to take the lead.

Uh oh. I think George found his game under the cushion. Silly George.
