    Agreed, they need someone like Cousins or Griffin.

    Don't let the massive over-achievement by the Rockets lead you into thinking this roster is complete. This season was a great stepping stone to next year and we desperately need to get better defensively and upgrade the starters at SF and PF.

    Anyone who suggests this season is a failure if we don't beat the Spurs (2nd best record in the league) has completely lost all perspective.

    this spurs are still clearly better than us even in the toyota center without tony parker. Greg Popovich owns Mike Dantoni in every playoff series

    I mean we have sucked so can't get too mad.

    But what does suck is the empty seats in the lower bowl (not behind the goals by the expensive seats) which are purchased by corporations. And I see this first hand with my company. We have known that there would be a game 4 in Houston for about a wk if not longer. They literally send an email that there are lower level tickets available for game 4 at 3 pm on Friday afternoon that tickets are available that must be used for business purpose. Really? You are gonna send that email out at 3pm on a Friday when almost everyone is gone for the weekend at that point already? Not only that but to find a counterparty that late makes it even harder. And I am sure my company isn't the only one. This is one of the reasons the atmospheres at the games are nothing like what they were in the 90s.

    No one said that. Just saying to stop acting like women and complaining. It's okay to be upset, but some of y'all acting like the world is coming to an end. As if we were down 3-1 already. Yeah, we have a team that's inferior to the Spurs, we all knew that coming in, so what the hell changed y'alls view?

    I repeat the above. I'm ready to send Eric Gordon back to his hometown of Indiana with others for Paul George.

    was d'antoni worried about how we would handle the moment or something? what is with pasch and the big moment? the rockets are a 3 seed playing the 2nd best team in the league, **** happens. are we supposed to be up 3-0 or something?

    'can they win 2 more without tony parker?" no, dave, they can't. it's impossible. 11 ppg tony parker is impossible to replace.

    Can't ask for much more from Harden. Lou, Gordon, Ryan no-showing killed us here. More of a credit to the Spurs ability to take away complementary players than anything.
