Can anybody figure out the 2012 Rockets?

I know basketball pretty well, but I can't figure out who the Rockets are this year. They lose to pathetic teams, then on a night with one of their best players (Martin, Lowry, and Hill) out beat a very good Oklahoma City team at their house.

I'm basically a football fan and really want to 'warm up' to the Rockets, but every time I start to 'warm up' to them, they lose to some terrible team or have a couple of terrible of games that takes away that warm and fuzzy feeling.

The Sacramento Kings tonight, the same team that laid waste to my Dallas Mavericks last Friday, lost tonight by 25 against the Golden State Warriors (without Monta Ellis or Steph Curry).

It's just a goofy season of basketball, things should normalize once the playoffs start, just hope that whatever team you support, can simply make it that far, the seeding will come down to the very last night.

They're playing way too many games in way to short of a time frame.

Yea John you're right I'll agree. They are in a bad state now. Martin is still pouting. Kyle is hurt...

They don't have any stars or must-see players. They need to blow the team up and start over. I regretted it, but now I'm glad I gave up my season tickets a while back.

Yeah man... No Lowry, no K-Mart, no Jordan Hill.

Short handed, under high trade speculation, they go on to OKC, who only lost 2 previous home games and win by one point 104-103. The stole the lightning from the Thunder and struck a 13-1 run in the last 2.5 min to pull off the upset.

I'm confused when it comes to the Rockets. Chanlder Parsons is by far one of the most underrated rooks BTW. I'm lovin Lowry this yr though. We do need a big man or two. K-Mart has been a joke this yr. Maybe we can pry Gasol away from Satin's Lakers though I'd actually prefer his little brother Marc.

If K-Mart wasn't being so much of a baby, I think a trade, he and Scola for Dwight Howard would really set it off.

I think they make the playoffs but with an early exit. NFL has caught so much of my attention, I haven't really looked into trade rumors for the Rockets. But Morey and Les aren't as bashful as Kubes and Smith. Expect something soon. They got to justify Addleman's firing and want to make a mark this year.

Satin... don't be too happy about that. I hear Watt and TJ freqent the Rockets games. A few days ago Watt tweeted his Rockets Jersey finally arrived.

I used to be a nutty Rocket fan. Finally gave up season tickets about 2002. This team just isn't good, and hasn't been in awhile. Daryl Morey has utterly failed to do anything except collect role players, and they can't ever seem to figure out that if you can't get a superstar in free agency, you'd damn well better be picking in the first 3 picks of the draft. But they never let themselves get bad enough to do it. Pisses me off.

You guys are going to go through the whole season before you can figure them out. They've been like that for a while now.

I'm amazed they let Fisher go......

Fisher was horrible, I dont know why he was still starting. I especially hate when he fouls and then stands there moving his head side to side looking at all the refs like he didnt do anything. Thank god we got rid of him and Luke Walton.

Wish they would take Lamar back. He is about to get busted for stealing ... has not earned one cent of his salary this year in dallas. Pouting like a two year old for being traded.

And tonight's unexplainable comeback and win against the Lakers really makes one wonder who are the real Rockets.............
