Rockets Will Have A "Come To Jesus" Game Against The Hawks Tonight

[R.P. McMurphy]

Same old bunch of clown losers different day!

[Aye Kay]

the Rockets are hot garbage
shouldve put the bigger wager on the first half instead of the full game

i dont get how you can be up by so much at the half but not finish and close out the game

[Mr KLC]

My Hawks +650 live ML bet cashed LMAO

Good call!

[No coincidences]

Jesus is laughing at these fukking losers.

[Mr KLC]

The saddest thing about this was the Rockets had been off since Saturday, and the Hawks were on the 2nd leg of a B2B. How do you allow that team to play better in the 2nd half? Unreal!

Absolutely unreal.

I think time to trade Harden but nobody wants him

[louielouie]

kardashian curse - whole forum on rockets cost me too

[existential]

sorry, but how could anyone bet on the Rockets as favorites at this point? this is the most dysfunctional team in the league and they play zero defense.

whatsmore, they have 4-5 guys who don't even belong in the league and no HCA since the Toyota Center is always at 50% capacity.

Atlanta by 4. Game over. This Rockets team is useless. They really need to be active at the trade deadline. Howard and Lawson need to go for sure.

I remember many Laker fans including myself weren't excited at the prospect of re-signing Dwight Howard, then luckily he went to Houston.. He sucked in LA and was extremely overrated... Couldn't make throws, always injured, always crying about something, and his offensive post up game was crap.. A good defensive player is about all I saw in Howard.. Good for a rebound and dunk once in a while..

Now IDK what happened with Lawson as I remember him being a solid player in Denver, not sure why he didn't fit in with Houston?

[TwoWays]

Korver like 0-11 (like 0-10 from 3). Yet rockets find a way to lose while giving up tons of points

[Ralphie1412]

I have said it for years. James Harden will never win. He is Carmelo Anthony. Never seen such isolation. Add that to the fact that Howard is a shell of his former self and it's hard to watch.

Spot on.

Probably the smartest post I've read here in a week.

Both one way players, who's knocking down the Houston and New York doors to come pay with either? Everyone wants to play with LeBron, nobody wants to play with these two, who will never sniff a championship.

The Rockets met for practice Monday afternoon for the first time since their coach, J.B. Bickerstaff, said the team “disrespected the game,” and had an intense practice.

Guard James Harden said he hoped the whole team took Bickerstaff’s words to heart.

“We should,” Harden said. “If we don’t take it seriously, something is wrong.”

Bickerstaff made the comments following the Rockets’ 110-108 loss to New Orleans on Saturday night. Harden said he understood where his coach was coming from.

“Just not bringing it every night, no matter who we are playing,” Harden said. “We have to be ready to go, ready to play, ready to get wins.”

Forward Donatas Motiejunas said the team had a good practice Monday, with a lot of communication and priorities in place.

“I think he was accurate to say that,” Motiejunas said. “We aren’t the same team we were last year. We have to work harder to get back to that level.”

Don't know if it will last through the season, but they'll get a performance tonight.

Houston Rockets -3

Jesus must have told them that defense was overrated.

[jjgold]

Rockets should just give up and forfeit every game it is a shame all these guys making tons of money and do not care

[DOM-Ganador]

It was all McHale`s fault.

This roster is full of champions. Balls to the wall tough guys. Great commitment to a strong defensive scheme.

Ride them to a title.

[Ratpack]

tried to tell you guys but they never listen

[Mr KLC]

Two games, two Rockets losses, two incorrectly uncalled fouls that would’ve sent James Harden to the line for key free throws.

The NBA ruled Harden should’ve drawn a shooting foul with 32.9 seconds left and the game tied in Houston’s 110-108 loss to the Pelicans on Saturday. But the league also ruled Dwight Howard set an uncalled illegal screen earlier in the possession. So, the Rockets had little room to complain.

They can be more upset about their next game, a 121-115 loss to the Hawks yesterday.

Referees haven't been impressed with Harden's European move to the basket recently, even though he leads the league in free throw attempts. Referees will probably make the call near the end of the game now that this has happened in 2 straight contests.

They need to just blow it up. Get rid of Howard, Lawson, and Terence Jones. I love Capella and Montejuanas. They have some great talent, just lousy chemistry. My old boss always told me that sometimes, in business, you have to start fires to save the building. Morey needs to do that now.

Why do I have a sneaky feeling the Rockets will beat GS tonight? GS back to back and Curryless maybe?

They have a knack of hanging in with the potential Western Conference playoff teams. They have a winning record (5-4) against them.

[pavyracer]

You know Rockets suck when even Jesus picks the Hawks to win.

[louielouie]

rockets are trash but they will destroy warriors tonight

[jjgold]

They will win tonight

This thread has really gone into a direction I never expected.

Oh I'm just playing around.. I'm not much of a bible thumper.. Do believe though..

Anyways, Rockets went from pick em to now a -3.5 point favorite..

The Rockets opened at -7 and got bet down to -3.5 today. That tells me there's a bank of money on GS. Houston should win this one but I'm not buying in to it heavy, it's still Houston and still Harden and still no D. They could still find a way to lose but should have refs in their pocket tonight based on heavy line move.

If they opened up at -7 then how do you explain this line I got earlier?

The Rockets coaches need to let the players know that you can guard people at the three point line.

These guys can't even beat golden state without curry. We saw what Dallas did last night
