    There's nothing more predictable than the Rockets closing the first half poorly.

    I feel like you could insert any team name in the blank space, and have it be true for every single game this season.

    Bad close to the half. House should not have passed back to James and just took it upcourt himself on that turnover and then Obviously Roco can't foul a jump shooter. Could be worse seeing as how we were down 22 though

    Our guys are missing wide open 3s. Thicc must be damn tired cause his 3s are not even close, shots that he normally makes.

    This is not on Harden, he is doing his share.

    True, but suns were exceptionally hot.

    Theres no warriors with three snipers that they have to contend with

    This game would be tied if not missing wide open threes

    Welp, It could have been worse. Rockets fought back and are still in it.

    This!

    He pass the ball and seems his mission is complete. This is why they likes to double team him so much. They can stop Harden easily with double team.

    Huh? They had 3 wide open shots from Harden getting double teamed. You cannot blame Harden on any of those plays.

    You guys are ridiculous with your nitpicking on Harden. He's got us back to 10 points..... would have probably been winning if we hit our shots and Covington didn't foul at the end.

    PJ is having a pretty terrible game so far. A bunch of wide open misses..not communicating that that someone was behind Harden to poke the ball out...not switching properly to allow Booker to get wide open

    This style of small is exciting to watch, definitely.

    But here is the issue, it’s extremely fast pace and grinding, no matter you are winning or behind.

    We played one of the slowest pace last year in the league.

    And this season even with Harden getting the ball, we never pushed this hard and fast on both end.

    It will be interested to see 10-15 games later how the players health and performance will hold up.

    The ball usually finds its way to the open man though. But the open man can't hit a damn 3.

    it wouldn't hurt to play Hardy here and there to give the other team a different look to keep them off balance but hey who am I just a guy with common sense small ball is fools gold especially when Westbrook not playing and just imagine how good our defense can be with Tucker and Covington playing there normal positions
