I didn't think the Rockets had any chance in hell against this team after a back to back so I can't say I am surprised about the [expletive] kicking they received from a solid Thunder team.

 

It's the same story night in and night out, except tonight the Rockets didn't have to worry about choking in the 4th because the game was over far before.

 

It's just depressing to watch, no consistency Adelman looks like he has no control over the situation and the laziness on the part of some of these guys is just disgusting.

 

Luis Scola quietly puts on a show every single night and now teams double team him in the post. That leaves four other players the responsibility of stepping up and getting it done and that seems like a daunting task for this Rockets team.

 

Only positive spot again Ish Smith, this kid has incredible court vision. He's just a rookie but playing like a vet, I really can't say the same about Kyle Lowry who is annoying as hell. The same guys I used to hate on for flopping is now on my favorite team, Lowry needs to stop with the flops it's literally pathetic to watch. He has no control whatsoever, and he can't make a shot wide open.

 

Brooks gets criticized for his court vision and defense but when you need his offense he comes through, it's just two point guards who lack something one either end.

 

I never thought the year would start with such confusion and lack of effort. Effort is the one thing the Rockets gave 100% last year, that's why even with a depleted team with no real expectations of doing much damage last year was so much fun to watch and appreciate.

I don't know the Rockets always seem to disappoint us early on the season (2004-05 they started 6-11 and 2007-08 we were 24-20 and 10th in the Western Conference before the 22 game winning streak), but they always seem to pull through when we hit the second half of the season. Same goes for Adelman, I can't remember how many times I have criticized him over the years but once the postseason arrives the man is a genius. However, something feels different about the Rockets this year and that may likely be due to our sloppy defense. Every Rockets team that Rick has coached has held Jeff Van Gundy's defensive values in the back of their minds, which made them a top 5 defensive team every season but with the remaining players from the Van Gundy era (Battier, Yao) on their last legs it seems there is no one else to hold those values. Still even with that aside, the Rockets as a whole have played great team defense and I don't know understand why everyone just suddenly stopped rotating, playing like they care on the defensive end, etc.

Really did not expect us to win but I did expect us to fight till the end. Normally when I have to leave in the middle of a game to go do some other [expletive] I get kinda mad but last night i was kinda glad as it was starting to get pathetic.

 

We play Toronto Friday, lets hope we come to play hard and with more effort than we have been showing.

 

Right now all I can hope for is speedy recoveries from Yao, Brooks, and Chase.

That was really the motto of the Rockets for so many years. Its depressing that the fire in them is no longer there.
