    Yeah, if we could call a timeout some time BEFORE our 11 point lead evaporates entirely, that'd be great

    I like harden trying to get that three point call, but it CANNOT be your entire offense

    Can't really do anything when it's ISO Westbrook jumpers constantly.

    Poor, poor execution. Letting a defeated team climb right back into this game. And Harden's yelling at Lou over a blown PnR.

    Harden getting outplayed yet again by Westbrook. Dude needs to work on his ****ing jumper rather than work on drawing fouls

    Role reversal game.

    We had a lead, pushed it a bit then OKC starts making shots and takes the lead.

    Our offense is so r****ded if guys can't make threes. Basically one on one then force up a bad shot at the end of the shot clock.

    Harden has to attack the rim.

    Can we pick up WB at least from 3/4 court? Tire him out!

    every ****ing start of every ****ing half is a disaster. whoever starts for us can not make a single shot.

    okc literally just laid down to start the 3rd quarter and we missed evry single chance they gave us. now westbrook has already hit more off-the-dribble- contested 3's in like 3 chances than we hit open 3's in 10 chances. this series is comical in terms of outside shooting. i mean are we going to blow a 3-1 lead because the team with the most 3's in history can't make an open 3?

    i was informed when roberson was hitting 3's that nba players can make shots if you leave them open. the rockets are appraently the exception to that rule!

    I think Harden is hurting because he is deferring too much and trying to take the easy way out. I hope he is saying it for the 4th quarter because we really should and need to win this game to rest his ankle.

    Rockets shooting like 18% from 3

    Let's hope Rockets play law of averages and get their shooting going for next series
