    CP3 is better in clutch time.
    Harden just passed the ball to Ariza for turnover or bricking.

    This is what we can expect in the playoffs, 30+ FTA for them and it will be dubbed as a "choke".

    EDIT: 33 attempts, calling @RocketsTruth

    The warriors are the defending champs and are proven, we collapse in a historically embarrassing fashion in game 6 last year. Look at our last couple of games to tell me we shouldn't be worried..

    Whats up with Harden bricking fts lately, especially when they chant MVP. Bricking fts when they chant MVP just shows how mentally weak he is.

    it's obvious there are certain centers that just give capela problems or neutralize him.

    adams and valančiūnas make him look average as ****.

    I was having a pretty good time at the game, and then the 2nd half happened...

    the refs calling something every 5 seconds and the Rockets making stupid mistakes was frustrating...some of these turnovers were just ridiculous

    Corey Brewer hitting a three is 1 of the most annoying things in sports

    I dont know what you've been watching the past 78 games but Harden iso/ pick and pop IS the offense. They've been running that same **** since day 1. There are no sets. PJ gets his shots from Harden or paul's drive. If Harden or Paul couldn't penetrate into the teeth of the defense, PJ tucker or whoever gets no shot.

    EVERYTHING revolves around the ISO or the pick and pop.

    No it’s not. The offense is high pnr based with over the top to Capela or bounce passes to Nene. Then they do ISO when they go small with Tucker or Ryno at the 5 to spread the floor. Penetrate and kick.

    Rockets being up 7 then just forgetting how to play was too weird. That was the worst they have ever played in winning time. Makes me feel like they tanked the game.

    Teams will pressure and double team Harden during the playoffs and it looks like he still doesn’t know what to do. Just holding the ball too long or making lazy, sloppy passes that lead to a bunch of turnovers. He better get it together because the playoffs start next weekend.

    Nobody wants to play the Thunder for this reason...they have the talent to make life hard. Let them secure the 6th seed and battle it out with the Blazers.

    I agree completely. The sky is intact, the sun hasn't blown up yet, and we're all good. The Rockets won 64, and dropped 16. Some of those losses were damn ugly. And, if the Rockets do as we hope and win the Championship, they will almost definitely lose more games on the way there, maybe even uglier than this one.

    I see people bringing up the last 2 games as a sign that the league has figured out the Rockets, but let's wait until EGo gets back and the Rockets have something to play for before we make these kinds of proclamations, yes?

    or idk, let's panic at the disco or the bar or wherever everybody's at
