    I'm cool with Harden jacking ONE of those final TWO *poor* 3PAs, but that last one was extra low-IQ and extra horrible.

    But, but, but MDA didn’t fumble the ball, MDA didn’t miss the contested 3s, MDA didn’t turn ball over...did I get it right? Lol

    I'd rather we'd allow the easy foul before he got to the basket. Westbrook hasn't been shooting well from the free throw line all season. He could have missed one and the ball would have been in our court.

    Let’s talk about how the freak Wes got that wide open layup?

    That was the key tonight. Not seeing this is going to be fixed.

    Eh, I knw everybody's emotional. But we really missed Clint more tonite than ever. The Thunder are long, athletic & active. They kept getting offensive rebounds & out hustling us. With Clint ALOT of those rebounds go our way & eliminate those open 3's

    The problem in the iso is its only right when you are putting maximum pressure on the defense. Against a team like OKC you have to stretch them out and make them play hard defense everyplay while controlling the tempo and turnovers. MDA needs to get his stars understanding what decisions need to be made particularly CP3 and Eric Gordon he faded in this game

    Shoulder man. For sure his shoulder, at least on the rebounding side.

    Good point, better than Completely wide open layup.
    My grandpa can layup like that.

    This is the most frustrating Rockets team ever. I know injuries play a role, but half of the losses this year have been completely inexcusable.

    This game all but sealed our fate of getting the 3 seed. We will get 4 seed Max. Our best hope is for Denver to get the 1 seed

    We probably pull it out if Capela plays tonight, but there is plenty to improve upon from this loss if the Rockets are going to play for a ring in The Finals this year.

    I can take losing....I am okay with missing a mid-range final shot.....I am okay with trying the driving layup.....but the step-back 3, looking for the foul in the final seconds? Come on bro......

    The only players who did anything tonight was Paul, Harden and Faried..... everyone else was awful in my opinion.
