At this point of the season, I don't think anybody can argue with this claim.


I'm just not a huge fan of Westbrook's game come playoff time if his jumper isn't falling. It's a little too inconsistent. It's not entirely his fault but the way he runs things offensively where him, Melo, and George take turns shooting is bad to watch.


Yeah I agree, their offense looks really really bad to watch when they start chucking and bricking shots.

Westbrook's shot is extremely inconsistent, Melo looks washed and PG looks like he just doesnt care anymore.

He still looked really good I think. Hard for a rookie when he's getting an Ariza/Tucker/Luc rotation thrown at him for the whole game


I love how that's not pretty transparent. D Mitch is not playing well because of the defense just like the crazy defense Roberson played on him in that last quarter.

lol they call a foul on Gordon for the Jazz player falling down on him. Definitely a rigged game.

This game is like 90/10 Jazz/Rockets in calls. It is getting absurd :lol:

It's not his fault that he settles for contested mid-range jumpers or it's not his fault that he misses most of them?

I haven't closely watched Westbrook's game til this season but is his midrange really that inconsistent slash awful or it's just this season?

From one page to another the Rockets were supposedly getting all the calls, now it is biased for the Jazz, lol, what a swing

Freakin’ Thunder - I knew they were gonna lose :(...especially when I saw Melo’s stat line at the start of the 3rd. Sucks, Now back to needing 2 wins to get to .500 :(. Next 2 games - Grizzlies in Memphis and Hornets at Home. Could go either way in both of them.

You can't stop Harden when he gets a high screen coming down hill.

1. Ingram really came thru, love Julius's energy. Lopez's continuous three point shots really drive me crazy. Lakers-Sixers will be great year to year wish we kept D-Lo for it but oh well.

2. The refs are favoring the jazz, still doesnt faze the rockets. Hopefully CP3 can keep harden in the check in the playoffs, a WCF with GS would be interesting if theyre clicking and if harden plays like he does in the regular season as opposed to his usual playoff performances that'd be a great series. big IF tho.

He was not as bad last season. He’d have the occasional bad game when he shot like crap - but that was probably 1/4 games...now it’s like 1/2, or maybe 2/3... He got the scoring title last year and was the most statistically clutch of all players - this year, not so much. It’s like he was on a mission last year, but this year he’s just completely lost his touch.

It's December, what would you expect? But more than his usual lackadaisical early regular season norm , I think it's watching his teammate/s pile up a wall of bricks on a regular basis that makes him even more lazy.

This year's OKC megamove is a megabust!

Offensive rebounding is why I prefer Anderson over Anthony.

Lock this Jazz team down (who can only make easy shots/transition points), and the game is over. The Rockets stopped trying in those last minutes...smh
