    For the record, Harden did not lose the game for the Rockets. He’s the best player and tonight the comeback didn’t go the right way. Just happens.

    He played great as usual.

    What, 2 WCFs, and making the playoffs is bad for you. Chill out.

    This loss is on Capela's pathetic effort against Lopez and Harden's tired legs at the end.

    Rockets dug an unnecessary hole for sure.

    They forced themselves into needing an almost perfect 4th.

    Possibly... but the Rockets are highly likely to trade for another rotation player and Paul and Gordon will be back.

    Really it comes down to health.... since early this year the Rockets have added two rotation pieces (House/Rivers) and will add another... IF Paul stays healthy, that is enough to not run Harden into the ground.

    jimmy's endless turnover and inconsistent G-Leage teammates cost us big time

    Man, It just had that feeling. This game didn't "feel" right.

    It would have made sense if he did it last game when Capela was balling, but every time he gave it to Capela tonight it ended in disaster. I’d rather him shoot a 3 from halfcourt

    They're easily beatable. They're just playing one of the worst teams at defending the paint..... without 2 of their key players.

    Of course, you'd say that, but actually give me an argument this time. He was bad against the Pistons, Trail Blazers, Clippers, now Bucks--should I go on?

    Gordon better be like so fresh after he comes back. The man takes a leave when others are grinding it out.

    All in all, in this tough stretch, we survived it.

    But, let's not relax. This team has a tendency to relax and be careless against inferior competition.

    This was a game when we needed CP3 to keep the bleeding down while Harden rests. CP3 and EG on the court would have kept the Bucks from running away with the game...d--n!
