That offense got them 65 wins last season. They played the same exact way. Last year it worked.

It didn’t work because it’s failed the last three years. The way they play is garbage. You “ball movement and three point crazy” lovers just don’t want to face the music.

OKC better not start jacking up 3’s. Need to keep the game slowed down and not panic. Rockets have shooters that can go off.

Webber just called the Rockets the Hawks. He’s turning into Marv.

What's wrong in Houston? Is this just heartbreak hangover from disappoinring finish last season? I value Ariza more than most, but this is far beyond the realm of his impact alone.

Seems like last season was their utmost max and it ended in disappointment.

And they brought in Melo.

Your entire team gets worse with Melo.

Did he really say that? I missed it.

Melo is looking at one of his last years in the NBA I think. This guy is burnt toast.
