Can we leave this Nader scrub on the bench please? He's not even close to NBA level. Good lord.

Can Donovan stop being an idiot? They're beating us from 3 and through 2nd chance points and he's going small with no shooters.

Re: 12/25 | G33: Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets - 2PM CST
Our bench is horrendous. Russ still sucks at putting the ball in the basket.
We need another wing that can shoot. We're about to start losing as many games as we win the rest of the season. We floated by through this point of the season because of an incredibly easy schedule.

Billy with some wonderful 4th quarter rotations. Inexcusable to not have Adams or George on the floor till under 7 minutes left

When Paul George doesn't play like the best player in the league then we are just another team in the western conference between Golden State and Phoenix.

Yep. First starter he brings back is Russ. In that time, we contiue to not be able to put the ball in the basket and Capela abuses us; both are things that might've been able to be corrected if PG and Adams were on the floor. Instead, they were on the bench the first 5 minutes of of the fourth quarter.

Re: 12/25 | G33: Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets - 2PM CST
james harden is so much better than russell westbrook in today's nba. teams figure out how to defend guards who can't shoot. d'antoni is putting harden on westbrook without a second thought. harden can lead a team of scrubs to respectability on offense while russ is struggling mightily to do anything without george in the game.
pretty crazy.
merry christmas, all! see you guys tomorrow.

I knew when I heard the Rockets signed Austin Rivers that he was going to hit a bit shot in the 4th that helps beat us.

Re: 12/25 | G33: Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets - 2PM CST
Just knew this was going to happen. As soon as I saw the Rockets signed Austin Rivers, I nkew the was going to do something big to beat us.
I hate losing to the Rockets more than any other team in the league. They don't even have their second best player and still beat us going away.

I know his comments piss a lot of people off but is he really wrong with this? I don't like harden either but hes right. I want russ to be better but hes just not. It sucks but it isn't slicks fault even if he likes ot rub it in.

And we get a Russ turnaround, well-contested jumper from 17 feet.

The Rockets aren't even that bad anymore. They're 7-1 in their last 8 games. This loss isn't as bad as some might think.
