Westbrook out and Harden doubtful vs. the Jazz

I need to take a break from basketball for the week.

Joe was really bad... all of our guards were selfish and if I was Rudy I would have some words with them tonight.

The reason I’m a little extra upset with Mike is he was supposed to be this savy vet... he’s played like garbage. It isn’t just missing shots... it isn’t just the system... it’s the awful turnovers... he mishandled a ball and one he slipped but he also just had an awful ****ing pass... it was an easy read.

His defense is adequate... it’s not great... his value is very much on the offensive end and he’s been really really bad.

Yeah, he committed some bad TOs. Maybe Quin needs to get him some easy looks to increase his confidence? I have no idea.

No this isn’t on the refs at all... they had some bad calls but we let them blow by or shoot pull-up jumpers whenever they wanted... we made stupid *** fouls that got us in the penalty.

We are a good defensive team and let one guy... the only guy we had to stop... get a career high. This was effort and focus... everything else is peripheral.

If we have 52 points in the paint and they have 42 there is no way they get 25 more free throw attempts fairly. Cmon. We had just as much aggression to the rim.

Refs were intentionally giving them free throws to keep them under the -13.5 spread.

The Rockets made some shots. We missed our threes. And the free throw disparity ended up very likely flipping the outcome.

Excuses. He wasn't setting up quality plays. The offense he was running kept turning it over and then he kept fouling. Bad offense led to bad defense.

I have never said anything about his offense. He played terrible, so did pretty much everyone.

before my wife turned on The Bachelor, I saw us make bonheaded turnover after bonheaded turnover. One led to an obvious clear path to the basket foul on Mitchell. Conley had company, but he was just awful. Not sure how mudiay could’ve been any worse.

there aren’t many nba teams who wouldn’t have beat us tonight. Any healthy WC playoff team would’ve beaten us down by 20+. Which makes me concerned. The more Conley plays the worse this team seems to operate. Our offense is quickly reverting back to its October/November form.

I’m with you... tonight was really rough. Exposed like the Pandora’s box of issues we’ve had... Conley sucking... team disconnected... don’t have a backup center and can’t spread the floor with a five out team.

Gonna step away from the inter webs.
 
I’ll bet we even lost the game on ESPN too... two losses on one night...

Did you watch the game? I’m not sure Rudy had an attempt in the first half... we didn’t even try to get him the ball. We should have had 60-70 points in the paint.

This one is on us... refs were bad but not nearly as bad as us.
