    The Laker support is good. I'm not saying Lakers are overrated.. they definitely are good. Harden does love to play Lebron though.

    They haven't been relevant for how many years now? Let the doormat franchise have some fun.

    Im really sick of the turnovers, this is getting to be super ridiculous. James just cant have 8 turnovers like that man, its ridiculous. Same with Russ. Its costing us games.

    Morey needs to do something right now, Im tired of waiting.


    Also when is Gordon coming back.

    Rockets have to win for the Villain roll to be fruitful for the fan base. If Rockets aren't wining, we are Team Rocket from Pokemon..

    oh gawd.. please don't let us be Team Rocket from Pokemon.

    This was a good game. Russ was awesome tonight. The 2 stars seemed to try to get Ben and House more involved, esp with them struggling with their shots. Clint was again really good. The only thing they should feel disappointed about is that they played tired when they were playing a scrub team coming off a back-to-back. Russ needs to not let this game get to him cuz he was perfect.

    Harden had one of his worst games - also needs to be the leader more and not let the refs trying to screw him get into his head. After his 6 pts were erased from existence, he committed like 2 straight turnovers off passes and then turnover off a dribble drive and maybe almost another one where his handle was off.

    For the last play, I'm not sure what came out of that huddle cuz Tucker looked to be protecting a potential game-tying 2 and instead left his man wiiiiiiiide open. Are these scenarios not discussed in the coach's huddle? Take away the 3 at all costs. Their center all 4th qtr was shooting that 3 several times over, despite him missing. The only non-miss was what happened to be the game-winner...

    This game isn't what pissed me off, because a last second tough 3pt shot like that can go in once in a while.... I'm just getting tired of seeing us playing awful defense and making stupid mistakes in possession time and time again.

    up 3 with 22sec left i would have intentionally fouled and made it a FT shooting match. up 3 with ~12sec left after bogdanovich's offensive rebound i would have definitely fouled. how many games have we lost in the past decade because of this crap? adelman typically fouled, but starting with mchale we've had the most stubborn head coaches in the league every year. oh ya, and fuking silver stole b2b made 3pt baskets from wilt harden tonite. in a 1pt game

    I thought about that too but the Kings were just chucking 3s so risk a 4 point play or fouling a 3 point shooter.

    That Hield three was pure BS, fading off to the side, as contested as you like, and he nails it.

    Definitely though they passed it around some and as soon as they gave it to a mediocre FT shooter you foul.

    I thought Harden played like s**t most for the game and especially in the 4th, it’s sacrilege to call Harden out on this board but I put this loss on him far more than any other player tonight. His turnovers in crunch time are infuriating and they are far more regular occurrences than many want to admit !

    This last-second regular season loss by 3PT is reminiscent of Brandon Roy @POR.

    a 33 foot gamewinner is a long way out, not many will hit that. Just got to hand it to him on a great shot. Both teams were clutch late

    that rebound led to the Hield three to give them a chance

    They were obviously told to stick to their man. Look at the first first 2 seconds of the inbound.... Tucker is on his man and doesn't switch to the guy going to the corner, so obviously they were told to stick to their man. Tucker for some unknown reason thought it was better to defend the paint, when nobody was in there, and leave his guy wide open for a game winning 3pt shot.

    If this was a rare thing on the defense, I'd be more relaxed and I'd be saying, "good shot and good game to them." But we do this type of stuff over and over, it's becoming a joke.
