    The double team is going to come so why even bother slowing down the game. Run and quit sitting and dribbling the ball only to pass it with 4 seconds left to shoot. So predictable and annoying to watch

    Denver simply played better, esepcially on defense, and had a very good defensive strategy on how to disrupt the rockets rhythm tonight.

    Nuggets exposed the Rockets

    Double Harden and make the role players or Westbrook beat you.

    How is he showing bad body language? Team can't make plays when he's being doubled every possession. That's extremely frustrating.

    If that was Kawhi that would be flagrant

    Austin Rivers is supposed to be that extra ball handler who could drive it in. He needs to step up in games like these where Harden is doubled

    Yknow, one thing I did like about Harden tonight is he took two three pointers coming off a pick. I don't recall the last time I'd seen him do that. Very efficient shot for him to take more of. He nailed both.

    Other than that (and his usual great post defense), same laziness of not walking up past half court when Russ had him an open shot ready, lazy passes out of the double team, etc. He's shot relatively well, but just seems so shook by the delayed trap of the Nuggets.

    Our offense needs to run more sets imo ...

    The Rox heart is not into the game. Its games like these that you have to win and dominate. They have to be stronger and compete at the level they are capable of

    Rockets have to just attack the basket . . ..
    get about 4~5 basket at the rim . . .then worry about 3s

    James was awful in the last minutes but i feel like he's the only chance we have to win this game, if he gets hot we might still do it.

    Harden has had a ton of careless turnovers but this loss isn't on him, it's on the guys he's passing to that crap a brick when they're wide open.
