    It's not our defense. It's not our poor shooting. It's not our turnovers. By far, the worst part of losing is watching posters on here cuss, bash, insult, and denigrate our team, our players, our FRANCHISE MVP, and our coach. It's a damn embarrassment to read some of the absolute garbage coming out of certain posters on here.

    We're ONE ****ING GAME away from the NBA Finals, and I've read people saying things about James Harden that make me sick. Get a grip, have some perspective, and stop being so goddamned pessimistic about the BEST ROCKETS SEASON in the last 20+ years.

    Game 7 is in OUR ****ING HOUSE. LET'S ****ING GO!

    So is constructive criticism okay then?

    Can remain civil and classy about it though.

    Absolutely. Wanna say the team went away from what was working? Fine. Wanna say Harden clearly looked tired, and stopped trusting his teammates? I can agree with that. Wanna say MDA probably should have gone away from Capela earlier than he did? Ok.

    But calling Harden a scrub? Or saying that you HATE him? Or calling this Choke City?? It's disgusting behavior that's a product of hiding behind a computer screen.

    I don’t understand people. How can people call us choke city? Down one of our two superstars against a loaded team, in their building? Nobody expected us to win. At home, we obviously have a much better chance.. if the warriors lost tonight, that would’ve been a choke. Gtfo with that stuff, people

    Lol we are playing on house money.

    You have to be the most delusional homer on Earth if you thought we have anything more than a 10% to win this series after we lost CP3 while Golden State is out there trotting out four all stars and crying about losing their 5th best player. Think about that. They are out there crying about losing Andre Iguodala while we are here down to a six man rotation while our best player in this series CHRIS ****ING PAUL is out. And the Warriors have the audacity to complain.

    Harden is going to have the best game of his life + the others have to contribute if we want to have any chance of winning game 7.

    This isn't on us. This is on KD for being such a massive b****.

    Everyone's disappointed that we lost, but c'mon, let's get some freakin' perspective.

    We lost on the road against the defending champs after we put their backs firmly against the wall by exposing them two games in a row.

    This wasn't an epic collapse; on the contrary, we played well until 4 minutes to go in the 3rd, then we let the refs get in our heads (because, let's face it, they were horrendous- ZERO second half fouls on Harden? REALLY!??).

    We weren't supposed to win this game, and we didn't. The final score doesn't matter. I wouldn't care if they'd beaten us by 50. Let them stroll onto the court at Toyota Center Monday smug and overconfident. That's the very thing that's gotten them in trouble this series.

    What we really need is Ariza to be able to get at least 6 assists. He needs to do paul's job. Unless we can get paul... it's going to be tough to win it.

    Yep. EG had no assists at all tonight. Someone has to pick up the playmaking, even a little. Knowing CP3's injury history, it was shortsighted of Murray to bring in Joe Johnson instead of a backup PG.

    See you at game 7. Traveling in for it. We got this. Ready for Chris Paul's Willis Reed moment.

    Being up ten at half is what hurt the most to me.

    Both sides have their problems. There's some that will defend Harden even if he intentionally scored for the other team, and then there's those that decide their only purpose in life is to post when Harden makes a mistake. Both are annoying.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong pointing out things that are frustrating you about Harden...or the team...etc. Those that get mad at others for doing this are just wrong. However, to actually see posts (Yes, sadly these are not made up), with "Ariza is playing like he doesn't even want to be out there" when there's literally 10:52 left in the FIRST QUARTER, and other gems such as "Choke City is back"...which has to be the dumbest thing known to man when we are literally playing arguably the greatest team ever assembled, with out Chris Paul....and you choose NOW to say we're "Choke City"?

    This team is busting their *** out there. I haven't been this proud of a Rockets team since the Yao/Artest/Lakers series. They deserve more than that.
    Again, if you want to be upset about shots not falling..or getting stagnant on offense, I'll be right there posting with you! Just don't let your emotions get the best of you and make idiotic posts like the ones above.

    Game 7 in Houston! Let's get it!

    haven't read those scrub comments. mostly calling out refs and nba for being corrupt, and rightfully so.

    well maybe not corrupt, since this is entertainment with the illusion of free will. it's no different than the avengers, and having thanos win is more profitable unfortunately because the media has brainwashed the casual fans into believing so.

    I agree, but...

    It was their home court. They're the defending champs and did what they were supposed to do. It sucked that we couldn't close them out, but it's far from surprising, right?

    Now we have to use that home court advantage and get it done.

    Well luc mbah and joe are very capable of doing just that! The problem is one is exremely over the hill and the other decided to dunk and dislocate his shoulder. If you are golden state and you know the man with the ball is going to the rack and most likely not going to pass then ya I'm not going to move from the paint! They are definitely not worried about the ball moving to the open man. Game 2 was Houston playing perfect basketball!
