    Golden State has gone the "just foul all the time, they won't call them all" approach to Harden and Paul driving.

    The Rockets' problem is they aren't calling any of them

    Being down double digits isn't the end, just got to remind Gordon what his role is and attack curry

    Team wasn’t prepared. Making careless turnovers, taking stupid shots, missing easy ones. Not focused- Gordon wasn’t even aware of the shot clock.

    Speaking of Gordon, he stinks!! He is KILLING us. Also Harden and Paul missing free throws. Not focused.

    Very disappointed in the team’s lackadaisical performance in such a huge game.

    the warriors are like a skilled boxer. they've got all the moves, all the strategy and discipline. they play at the same level every night. the rockets are a slugger. we will look like we suck but if you get caught by one punch you lost. we hit them in game 2. can we land a punch tonight?

    Refs doing us no favors, but that's not why we're losing.

    The good news is, we're only down 11 playing like that.

    Sometimes I think this team has ADD and just can’t concentrate. Just play hard and play smart. You are playing a game for a living!

    Doesn’t matter. I don’t give the Rockets any sympathy for shooting them selves in the foot. They brought this on themselves.

    Eight man rotation with 4 mins and 7 mins for Luc and Green cannot win this game!
    We cant beat the warriors with tired legs, we must run run and run!
    Expand the rotation!

    We should be down 30. The fact that GS isnt playing well makes this so much worse. We just beating ourselves.

    This was a very winnable game but the Rockets didn’t show up to play.

    I have my hopes for the 2nd half but I see Warriors running away in the 3rd.

    Morey taught me to trust analytics and Warriors are the best 3rd quarter team especially at home.

    Whatever we do we can’t let curry goto the free throw line. Can’t let him find his shot
