Bad loss. Had them beat, and finally the ridiculous turnovers and terrible defense caught up with us. Marcus Morris should never see the court again. Some on here will point to his scoring and say he is doing good.. buts its always on wide open dunks and easy second chance points. He cant create, sucks at shooting, plays terrible defense, turns the ball over, and makes bone headed decisions. Terrence Jones would be a huge upgrade but it looks like McHale decided Morris is his guy and he is going to town with him.

Morris blows ass, he must have pictures of mchale
We've got to cut down on the turnovers/sloppy play. This team has the talent to win games but when they hand the oppositon extra possesions it is tough to win.
mazag08, I don't get your hatred of Morris. He has not played poor defense at all, beat Josh Smith off the dribble, and seems to have his stroke from 3 going. Patterson had a +/- of -29, while Morris was +19. I know that stat has its flaws, but that's still a pretty huge gap. The last two games Morris has almost had a point per minute. He is not even remotely the Rockets' biggest problem. Not even close.
I didn't read this board much last year, but did people complain about McHale's non-use of the bench last year? To me that seems like his biggest flaw. He runs the starters into the ground by not playing his bench very many minutes. We shot 35% from the field yesterday and 19% from 3, IMO because our guys were just worn out. I understand wanting to have a consistent 9 man rotation, but when guys are dragging McHale has to be willing to get a few more guys minutes IMO.
Ya his non use of the bench has always pissed me off.
I wasn't able to watch much of last nights game because of the Bama vs LSU game, so correct me if I'm wrong, but why haven't we seen Terrence Jones, White or DMo? Terrence Jones looked great in the preseason, and I don't want DMo just rotting away on the bench. He needs to get experience, because his skill set is very raw but very promising. I too wish McHale would actually use his players on the bench more
I think McHale is just one of those coaches who hates playing rookies.
I think a lot of it is because our bench is terrible. Chandler Parsons got a lot of play last year as a rookie so I don't think it's entirely correct that he doesn't like to play rookies
He only played Parsons because Budinger was the only other SF and he's completely incapable of playing defense. Also I thought we had injuries.
Was at the game last night, we should have pulled out the W. Too many silly turnovers even by Lin and Harden. Asik is too soft in the paint. Just when you think Morris is warming up he does something ridiculously stupid. All that said, we were still in it to the end and just couldn't seal the deal.
It was still exciting to be there for opening night. Good turnout with plenty of beards and asian persuasion.
p.s. I would love to steal Aldridge from Portland. He made Patterson look like sh** on D.

I just hope some day I will be able to watch the Rockets on t.v. again. I really don't want to switch to comcast because I thought they were horrible when I had them a few years ago, but really getting frustrated that I can't even watch the hometown basketball team.

Can't wait for the crappy internet stream tonight.
me neither
Anyone have link to internet stream for tonight?
asik's offense is uglier than his face
Morris already with a technical. Its time to give jones a shot
What an abortion.
Thanks zgood!
My god this is a terrible performance. Everyone sucks except patterson who barely plays more than morris who cant hit the broad side of a barn.
Douglas and Morris are beyond awful.
Not in mchale's eyes
Love the play where Lin gets run over and Joey Crawford ignores it.
Nevertheless, this game was lost in the second quarter when we decided to **** down our legs.
Ty Lawson getting easy layups every time is ridiculous.

I'm beginning to think we made a huge mistake by firing Adelman for McHale
uh ya

Watching this offense at work makes my eyes bleed.
went to the game last night.... toyota center was 2/3 full and was a morgue..... mchale sux as a coach...... absolutely awful...... morris is a joke and mchale keeps playing him heavy minutes..... our PG's are atrocious and lin is starting to look like a major bust...... can't set up the offense, can't shoot and a horrible defender
i;ve been saying this since he was hired
McHale is a ****ty coach and should've never been hired

Why are you on a Houston thread attacking the fans...The team has been mediocre at best for years and you expect the Toyota center be sold out??

Because I live in Houston, attend 1/3rd to 1/2 of their games and root for them.
After the Harden trade, fans on here said the Rockets would have full support and this was they needed. A week later, dead.

FWIW, two-thirds full for a regular season NBA game in the middle of the week in early November against a non-premium opponent isn't horrible.
Edited to add that the previous sentence is horrible (but not bothering to change it).
