    I'm cool with spot ups but it seemed like he had a lane to the basket, he should of been aggressive.

    Harden’s shots under double team is still ****ing better than Westbrooks!

    The Rockets offense is designed for a Trey Young, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, Stephen Curry.

    If James Harden gets double teamed with 3 seconds left, Russell is going to shoot the 3. Mike is letting Russell run the team too much.

    Russell Westbrook consistently can't shoot 3s. I hate to type this but Clippers and Lakers are media and Adam Silver favorites teams to win the Finals.

    a lot of that was them getting in the bonus within 2 min of the 4th quarter.

    but ya I get your point.

    still we had a 5 point lead with 1 min left should have won that game.

    It's not hypothtical that we played two scrubs like McLemore and Thabo over two really good players like Gordon and House so, makes sense to think we would've been better. And the refs were embarassing so, yeah. Sucks we lost but i can actually see the positives here unlike with the game we lost in Miami.

    Damn we traded Trez, Lou will and Beverly for Chris pail then paid cp3 the worst contract in the league.,,

    Could’ve had this team around the best player in the league

    Russ has some pretty good clutch stats IIRC, I'm too lazy to check it right now.

    Sure, I'd rather he drive and get an easier shot but he's capable of making that shot.

    This double team thing won't work when we get House and Ego back and at least we're seeing it now in the regular season than it just sudden;y being sprung on us for the playoffs.

    He didn't help with standing back out of the play on WB's last 3 attempt and then doesn't rotate over on Lou William's 3....I love Jimmy but that was bad. Also not crazy about walking the ball up every trip up the court...barely getting the ball over on nearly every possession. That said...we got screwed by the refs in the 4th.

    Its alright....everyone played really well tonight man. We didnt have Gordon or House, on to the next one. Dont blame the last shot on Westbrook, he took a shot and missed, its alright. But he had a great game tonight. Itll be alright.

    You know, the first few games of the season we would of probably lost with CP3 and we would be in a hole right now.

    It's silly for us to be pointing fingers back and forth the whole season. The team is playing damn well, we just need our health.

    the only silver lining in this loss is maybe harden gets in POS tilman's ear to add some more talent now

    Yup hit him on the arm but that wouldn’t have gotten it done. He two dagger 3s in A row were the game they rotated late and of course they both make theirs and we have Riss jacking a 3 you just knew he would miss up holy hell Russ has some great stuff and some truly horrid s$&t tonight that along with the refs screwing us big time really made this one hard to fight through ... theater said we looked like we were gonna get thrashed and we made an incredibly good game of it ducks to have lost they one though :mad:

    Why didn't Capela just go straight up and dunk instead of taking a dribble... Why didn't Westbrook just drive it in... he had an open lane. 2 low IQ plays with less than a minute to go.
