    Harden got to be sitting back and saying this is his time to put on for the city.

    Sucks big time, but he and the rockets can change th vibe come June with a championship

    Astros with 1 of the biggest choke jobs you’re gonna see

    favored by pretty much everyone heading into the WS...they had the better lineup, more experience, etc

    you’re up 3-2, and then lose the last 2 games at home...they didn’t win a single home game in the WS

    huge choke job

    oh, and unless the Rockets upgrade their defensive personnel, there will be no title here...u need to be top 10 defensively at worst to have a legitimate shot at winning it all...as they are currently constructed, they’re in the category of “dangerous team that will lose in the playoffs to the actual title contenders”

    Not going to happen unless this team starts taking pride on the defensive end of the floor.

    This defense has been franchise worst so far.

    Unless Harden goes out there and scores 60 every night... its not sustainable.

    If you were a fan of the Astros I would respect your outrage and would respect your right to dump on the team, but you don't even watch the team or care. Why would you even say this? It's too slimy, man. Not a good look. Let Astros fans grieve without turning the knife.

    Too bad about Astros, bats just couldn't deliver at the right time. Don't feel too bad though, y'all have a world series already

    As a native Houstonian and diehard Astros’ fan, while losing a World Series always hurts, it’s all gravy after 2017. They won one in my lifetime, and that’s more than I ever thought would happen. They also are definitely good enough to make it back to another World Series next season.

    Winning a championship is really hard and not something every city gets to celebrate.
