    Last year Game 5.

    Home team won.

    Home team suffered injury to a star player.

    Home team lost series.

    Capela somehow had the highest +/- of anyone else on the team. He did play pretty poorly though.

    This loss right just buried us for the series. There is no way this team is mentally tough enough to win 2 in a row after this devastating loss.

    Warriors won't be losing to Houston this year but they will lose to team that comes out of the East if KD is out for the rest of the post-season.


    I thought this year was the year Harden proves all his haters wrong but clearly he has no intention of doing that. He became extremely passive in the 4th and didn't even try to take over like the last 2 games. He will always be labeled as a playoff choker for all time after this postseason.

    Everyone calling the team gutless and pathetic - GET IN THE BIN

    They rallied from 20 down in the most hostile arena in basketball, taking on the best team in basketball with the refs on their side and had a chance to win.

    And last I checked, you have to win 4 games to win a series.

    Let's get behind our Rockets - we need an insane crowd in G6!

    BRING IT HOME TO HTOWN! BELIEVE YOU MFERS!

    Rockets will never beat the Warriors. They just won’t.

    MDA is the worst coach on adjustment.

    McHale better than him with Clippers series.


    Fire MDA!

    Capela's inability to catch/bobble a pass in the middle of the paint is killing the offense man. It gives defense time to recover. *****s sucks.

    As much as I blame Capela I blame Chris Paul too
    This was his chance to make it to the finals and he didn’t show up!

    Harden did not want this, it's like he figured we'll get them in game 6. We stopped being aggressive when KD went down, so odd...it's like they thought they could sleep walk their way to a win. This loss is on the whole team, but MDA, Harden and CP3 deserve the most blame. Harden is just a dumb player too, he forced all those threes in game 4 when he didn't need to and now when we need him to shoot - he was shooting well tonight too - he refuses to even put a single three?? Giannis is MVP for a reason. Ow and this is why Jim Jackson doesn't trust MDA late in games.

    Chris Paul and Clint Capela

    250 million down the drain.

    James has been by far our best player and overall he was really good, if there's a guy i won't blame for this loss it's him, other players have been much worse and that's a fact. But in the last quarter you expect your MVP/best player to make an impact and he really didn't in this game, was way too passive.

    Harden only attempted 6 more shots than Clint Capela. Are you kidding me
