    Exactly what I was just thinking. Only at least in that one, the Rockets played a good first quarter and change before stinking up the joint. This one's been all Clippers since halfway through the first.

    The Rockets defense in the playoffs has been pathetic. It's clear at this point that JJ Barea wasn't a bad matchup in the last series. The Rockets just aren't playing any D. Cuz we're seeing the same thing happen with Austin Rivers in this round.

    If they're not even gonna try on that end of the floor, then they may as well not bother showing up in Games 4 and 5.

    Coach doesn't give a damn either. Could have stopped the momentum and fouled Deandre Jordan or made some changes to the lineup.

    It was clear Smith gave up before any one else, dude wasn't even in a shot of any rebound or shot block attempt.

    Like I said, this team don't give two ****s about defense anymore.

    They've turned into the Mavs. Trying to outscore the opponent.

    It was a 3pt game like 5 minutes ago. How can any team in the history of the whole mthrfcking world shoot this well AND have this much luck? I mean...just. I just cant.

    I'm just... deflated.

    This is why Houston fans are the way they are. Why put in all this hype and excitement when we know dam well when we have a good team we have a dumb coach when have a great coach we have a sorry team and when we have a good coach with a good team we have too many injuries. That's what Houston sports is. Nothing but hype.

    Pull the starters and try and regroup for game 4. Sad performance by the Rockets tonight.
