They're also going up against professional basketball defenders and defensive schemes. This isn't a video game against computers.

At least we arent going to see bandwagoners jumping on us. There's literally nothing I hate more than people who cheer on teams just because they are a top team.
Very nice effort against the league leaders in their building with a severely depleted squad. Pleasantly surprised we had a chance, nice job boys.
also i am a little disappointed KJ didn't get some burn. I thought he would have taken advantage of korver or schroder and could have snagged us a loose rebound or too.
Does anyone else think that Atlanta is possibly a completely fabricated success story on the part of the NBA league office? I mean, I've only watched the two Rockets games against them, but aside from the @Chicago game I can't remember two worse-officiated games I've seen this year. In general there seems to be a league-wide effort to prop up the Eastern Conference. Everyone knows it is a JV league, and going into this year only Cleveland was projected to have a fighting chance to compete with the big boys out West. So what does the league resort to? It decides to create this synthetic juggernaut to sit atop the Eastern Conference. A team from a city that really hasn't known success in a long time. A team from a city that might be needing the wins. Atlanta! Let's give them something to root for. If I were a fan of the Cavs, Bulls, Raptors, or Wizards though, I would not fear Atlanta in a seven-game series. Something doesn't match up between their record and their talent level.
I hope that's a lame joke. Aside from the meltdown late in the fourth, I think the team played well. I like D-mo but he definitely needs to improve on defense and rebounding. You're our biggest guy! Go Rockets!
No expectations for this one, but the way it played out left me disappointed. Not mad, but still..... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Well, that game was a kick to the #!%##!</p>— Daryl Morey (@dmorey) <a href="https://twitter.com/dmorey/status/572952592491261952">March 4, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Why is nobody speaking out against the referees, Leslie, Morey, McHale, any player??? By the way, you can't say that we would've won with Harden because no way we get 30 assists with him getting a lot of touches and going 1-on-1. Not blaming the team nor Harden, that's how it is and when you don't have a star player, you need to move the ball a lot thus leading to more assists. That's why Atlanta are so high with their assists and crisp with their passing.
