    If you run a proper 4 on 3 offense if Harden can get the pass out of the double team trap, quality shots will be available all day.

    This is BMac’s chance. If he gets hot, it could be the difference. It’ll also get him minutes.

    Even with that last shot the Lakers are still playing tough D. They are doing similar things to us with quick switches but they have a big rim protector intimidating drives.

    I hope the team isn’t as tight as I am. Damn!

    Rockets absolutely need to stop letting them run though. Lakers are deadly in transition.

    They dont challenge him. Even Harden avoids the paint when Ad's there. Its disheartening. Go AT HIM to get him into foul trouble. I think AD is a bigger threat to us than even Lebron James.

    We absolutely need Bmac to get buckets this game. It’s a must

    Won't show replays of our highlights either. It's a Lakers broadcast

    Westbrook in this series reminds me of Capela in that Warriors series. Just a net negative out there getting shoehorned into the offense.

    The Lakers neutralize the only thing he does well.

    THERE YOU GO. Finally. None of the weak attacks. Force the refs to make that call.

    "Rockets organization has not been shown any proof that House committed the violation." How...do you even ...I don't know what to say about that.

    I can't imagine that the starting lineup with Gordon has a great net rating or the best rating on the team, but MDA keeps going to it. Meanwhile, Vogel adjusts and tries out a new starting lineup. The Warriors did this all the time in the Playoffs. God, I hope this fraud is gone soon.

    They talked about House. The NBA is totally giving us the shaft. They haven’t told the team a damn thing, have presented any proof and in the middle of an all important series. Unbelievable.

    No matter the outcome, I cannot get behind this lack of hustle we regularly see from harden . Is he tired of playing basketball? I know he is great but he looks completely disinterested. I don’t get it. Maybe he is just frustrated with the double teams and his teammates not taking advantage of it...

    WB missed FTs, turnovers, bricking 3s. How else could he possibly screw up? Only up from here

    Westbrook is trash.
