    I think it has more to do with us not hitting threes at the start. I don't worry about it too much if we get the win. I thought we recovered pretty well today after the slow start

    I've been saying this since the mid way point in the season. One trick pony with a very toxic contract going forward. (Anderson)

    I've been saying the same thing about Capella as well. Sorry. And will be the main reason we get bounced in the playoffs.

    These two don't have spot on this team. Not good fits.... sometimers.

    What these idiot reporters fail to recognize, which is EXACTLY what D'Antoni tried to tell a reporter, its not so much that Westbrook is on the bench as much as it is the Rockets' 2nd unit being VERY GOOD. Hell, they have the top 2 bench scorers in the LEAGUE. Stop making everything about Westbrook all the time. The Rockets have better bench players, its genuinely THAT simple dumbass. Sorry Westbrook doesn't effect everything.

    Am I the only one who enjoys watching the bench players more than the starters? It seems like we move the ball around more and play faster with the bench players in. I honestly didn't enjoy watching this game, and am glad it is over. Sometimes I wonder why I put myself through this stress. I mean, the only thing keeping me watching is the hope that somehow we finally find a way to win another Championship. Time to end this series in H-Town and take a breather for a couple days. Let's do this!!!!! Time to show OKC why we call it Clutch City.

    Media acts like battered women for real. the day after a game, "oh that? it was a doorknob, I'm fine.. I love him!"

    First Russ takes all the shots, now he takes all the questions from the press. Has to be fun playing with that guy.

    Anderson and Ariza are also in major hesitation mode. Ariza showed more confidence today, but Anderson was still looking for the pass before an open shot...and he forgot that his entire purpose is to SHOOT 3s. We need to target 40 3s a game.

    Dear Steven Adams,

    Houston is a better place for you to be. We're diverse, yet quirky. You'll like us.

    you are only looking at the three pointers he has taken, he shoots other shots you know. Who cares about those other series anyway, he hit the game winner against the Warriors in our only win against them last year. He shot 46 percent against the Warriors 2 years ago, he destroyed Dallas. He was good in 2 of the last 3 games in the Clippers series. 3 of the 5 games against the Warriors he was great

    Ariza and Anderson passing up threes to drive in closer is frustrating

    Skip Bayless is just a senile old man. Even if he had the same opinion as me he wouldn't be someone worth paying attention to.

    I love the "if you exclude his good games his record ain't that good" argument....even after all these years.

    5 star take.

    Will be wowed by your hotness again. No doubt
