    Harden can’t win a championship on his own. The warriors are stacked. Clint Capela is getting outplayed by Looney and Bell. CP3 played garbage all games until tonight. Do you guys even watch the games. Every 4th quarter they’re doubling and shadowing Harden so he can’t drive by his initial defender of course he needs to give the ball up. We just don’t have enough talent and guys who can make plays except for a catch and shoot three or a lob. Gordon is just too streaky. Curry and Klay played garbage all series and showed up only tonight. You guys here overrated that scrub House like he is Pippen and the playoffs roll around and he turns into Gerald Green. Who is another story for himself - transition 3 on 1 and instead Gordon wide open left he passes to Tucker who is a worse shooter then he tries to reset and gives it back to Green who tries a fadeaway 2 in the lane 3 sec later. Wtf. Boneheaded plays like that killed us, Iggy hit a 3 seconds later.

    We need to try trade Capela+Gordon for a possible third star. Or just get rid of that scrub Capela for a big who can actually shoot or has some proper grit and fight in him. We need more shooting around Harden not force non shooters into shooters. Maybe get a 3/4 with actual length would be better than 17M per year center whose only ability is catching lobs when Harden breaks the defence and block a few shots. McGee can do that too.

    What did you all expect? Harden average 45 points when the all attention is on him and Capela playing like a G league center.

    Against a team with so many all star players and Iggy who found his shot suddenly.

    Put Capela and Gordon on the market with all picks we have to see what we can get because this supporting cast is not good enough. I’m sorry but they’re not good enough to dethrone this GS team.

    Players like Harden don’t roll around so often it’s not time to blow it up. We’re the only team in the Durant era who put the fight out against the warriors. Is everyone else chokers in the league too if they have to make almost every play down the court in such a tiring series? Which other player in the league would even give us a chance if we had him instead of Harden? Wake up people one man show will not win a Chip. Unfair to blame it on Harden. Good night

    I think the Clippers would have sent the Rockets home pretty quick with the effort they showed against the Warriors.

    Harden does the best magic trick every year in late May. It's incredible that people still don't expect it.

    We expected to beat them in G6 on our floor without KD ... What else do we expect?

    We failed at such a doable task miserably. So not sure if this is a defeatist's speech or just telling us we should not expect this.
