The Houston Rockets aren’t right. After going up by 21 on the Heat in the second half on Sunday, they ended up losing by 20, 109-89. It was their third loss of the young NBA season, and the third time they were beaten by more than 20 points. That’s never happened before. Like, ever.

Things are so bad with the Rockets, Reddit’s r/NBA forum started a Rockets panic thread.

So far, Houston ranks in the bottom five for offensive and defensive rating, and their net rating is the worst in the league — three-straight 20-plus blowout losses will do that. The real problems stem from their superstar off-guard, James Harden.

In three games this season, he’s shooting 9.4 percent from beyond the three-point arc. That is not a typo. He was 0-for-10 from deep against the Heat on Sunday (he’s 3-of-32 overall this season). Things got so bad that, when James actually got a mismatch he could take advantage of when Hassan Whiteside switched out on him along the perimeter, he decided to take a step-back three-pointer. It was easily blocked by the seven-footer.

Of course, Lil B BASED GOD™ decided to bring up that silly curse he purportedly put on James Harden for supposedly ripping off his stir-it-up move.

3 straight 20 point losses and you say "The BasedGod" curse on James harden is not real? Hopefully harden is kind spirited – Lil B — Lil B THE BASEDGOD (@LILBTHEBASEDGOD) November 2, 2015

So now we have to mention it in a blog post because it’s 2015 and the world is routinely wedged into 140 characters or less. Also, let’s stop calling Lil B a rapper. If you call Rakim a rapper, then Lil B shouldn’t get that distinction.
