VERY GOOD GAME! SO HAPPY TO SEE SUCH GREAT BAL MOVEMENT FROM THE ROCKETS! Even though our offense got a bit stagnant in the 4th, we played a great game! Just might be the heart break we need to regroup and go KICK MEMPHIS' ASS TOMO!
Frustrating because Rox could have and should have won. Played the stupid basketball in the 4th. Harden covers a lot with his talent. Team still doesn't play smart enough when it gets tough and close.
8 man rotation tired this team out. Rockets were not playing with the same energy they did in the first half and their FT shooting was abyssmal. His points are not invalid.
...when did they coast? lol. This did not happen. NBA teams go on runs, but Houston played well until getting jobbed in the last 10min of play. Sorry, but whistles (or lack thereof) changed the momentum and everything about this game. It was rough early on too, but NOTHING like that allowed ATL to come back. I don't know if its "the game against Chicago" bad, but it was bad.
Why not, he substituted Dmo for Josh and Milsap and Hordord stole Dmo's lunch money time after time during that 19 point run they went on. Just ****ing pathetic, I like Dmo a lot, but he is a terrible rebounder and he sucks ass at closing out and playing defense period.
Well. Have fun cheering your the Cavs and trying to stay on your bandwagon. Don't claim you were a rockets fan when they win the title
That Hawks set where the guard comes in and just barrels into the defensive big so Millsap/Horford get a free lane to the basket really pisses me off. They did it repeatedly in this game, how is that not an offensive foul?
Not disappointed at all. We knew this team without Harden would struggle down the stretch. Nothing new here. The Hawks are also the best team in the NBA for a reaons. I was actually delighted at how we played in the first three-quarters. It showed that our role players are well worth the hype. In the end if we had Harden we would have won this game!!
Look, it sucks to be up 15 in the 4th on the road against the best team in the league without your 2 superstars only to lose. But then again, we were playing on the road against the best team in the league without our 2 superstars. The outcome shouldn't be a shocker. The Hawks basically did the same thing with Dallas last week, only they came back sooner than with 9 minutes to go in the game. Would we have won with Harden in the lineup? Probably. But the important thing is the team bounce back tomorrow against Memphis(which is the game they need to win). And in the meantime, root for Utah who lead the Grizzlies by 6 with just over 7 minutes to go.
Frustrating loss, but I didn't expect a win so I can't get too upset. I am mad at the 4th qtr officiating though.
