    He is comparing them to Liverpool v Barca.

    What an arrogant Moran. Not long ago, they were saying we are not even worthy of a challenge to them and all of sudden they are making it out as David v. Golliath. WTF

    Maybe. But of the contract is half as bad as CP3 it’s thats going to be hard. Remember how hard it was go get rid of Anderson. He had a bad contract too.

    Seems like CP3’s body is much much worse than Harden with old age. I respect both of them as players but damn this was the easiest game in the past 2 years.

    Other than PNR, he doesn't have a game.....w/o Harden he wouldn't shat.He TALKS a good game but when it comes to performing, he's soft as a baby's ass.

    When nobody else is hitting we need the one guy that can get his own shot to take shots. He was way under his average shot attempts each quarter. He's a volume scorer. If he's not shooting, it doesn't matter what the reason is. We're losing.

    I'm NEVER down on the Rockets or Harden. That was mystifying to me.

    I'm not mad at CP3 trying to take over...

    I'm mad that we did that crap for a full quarter without once stopping and going "Alright, we need to do something else."

    Maybe CP3 makes up for it, I sure hope so, but it was clear he was struggling all night long. I almost would have preferred him to be off the floor, he was that bad. Mostly this series his shot has been off and he hasn't been scoring but he's been making plays here and there but he was just bad tonight.

    Basically Harden carried the team and then just stopped. If he was tired he has to suck it up and play his heart out for the last 5 minutes. He simply has to.

    This isn’t the same team from a few years ago. They have no depth. They now have only 2 scoring options. Unless Steph and Klay both combine for 80+ I’m not worried. If they do get hot it will be Game 7.

    Choke City. Can't even win a crucial game when the other team's best player went down.

    The Worriers scored just 15 points in the 3rd quarter, but adjusted for the 4th, and won. I don't even know what we did. Leader of men, MDA is not.

    He's arrogant but trust me, he's getting them pumped for game 6.

    If we come out half stepping we are going to get rolled over.

    Losing Durant is the worse case scenario for Houston. Splash bros now can free stroke without giving it up to KD.

    from '93:

    The Rockets were returning home down 3-2 with all of the burden on them. Or so it seemed.

    "We were in the elevator, leaving the Garden, and I had my head down," Elie said. "Dream (Olajuwon) just looked at me and said, 'Mario, we are going home. It will be OK.' "

    It will be OK. ;)

    Paul has got to be better. End of story. He needs to redeem himself come Friday. He was not relevant at all tonight.

    A wise man once said, never underestimate the heart of a champion.

    People like Green, Iggy, they will make the plays when called upon. They did that tonight. Tonight they showed championship heart, respect to them, they did and we did not.

    CP3 has been such a let down tbh. Careless turnovers, poor shooting, all while making $40 M a year. I get why Morey did it, he had to. But, I can't believe the ROI is this small, and quite frankly either can Morey. If we win a championship, all will be forgiven. If not, I'm honestly not sure where we go from here considering the age of our team, scary times...
