Well, now it’s the most important game of the season. And Houston has lost all of their “This is the most important game of the season” games before now.

The game is on ESPN, and the Rockets have had some stinkers on national television this season. I could look at the record, but ir’s gotta be like 3-15.

Plus, the Minnesota Timberwolves are without Anthony Edwards, and this Rockets team has historically decided not to try against teams without their stars (see: Warriors, Golden State).

It all adds up to a crushing loss to an undermanned team on national television tonight. It’s the death knell for this iteration of the Houston Rockets.
