    to be fair, conley and gasol seemed to shoot about 98% in the 4th quarters against the warriors and the rockets.

    EGo and the bench with Ryan Anderson at center pushed the lead against Grizz starters. Harden came in with a 10 point lead and iso'd the game to death and ignored EGo.

    These are the times when you want to see the growth in Harden. You see none. He is still soft mentally when it's time to grind it the **** out. He let Chalmers, of all people, frustrate him. He hasn't changed.

    Yeah, that rule (assuming it's a rule) is pathetic, that should be Rockets ball tbh, at worse a jump ball.

    losing to a team when your up is never a good thing no matter who it is.

    Hopefully when Paul comes back he'll help in situations like this. Create quality shots for guys and slap them upside the head when they've forgotten how to play.

    the technical on Nene, the foul on Harden when he didn’t even touch Parsons, Conley tripping by himself at mid-court because he rolled his ankle and they still call a foul, that stupid ref getting in Gordon’s way...

    what a joke...worst officiated game I’ve ever seen

    I wish I had the power to just mass ban douches. Ignore list will have to do instead.

    Game was close, and team shot 3s at 24% the whole night, you thought they would play smart? nope, still brick up 3s.
    Miracles won't happen like that most of the time.

    I'm kind of pissed that we traded half of our team away for Paul & he's just there injured.

    Teams can dictate pace. Good PGs can dictate pace.

    Nothing u can do if the refs dictate it.

    Eh, but it happens.

    No one is talking about the Warriors seeding right now.

    You're going to lose games to above average teams sometimes, it happens. We'll be alright. We're even going to drop a few games to some terrible team, like 2 or 3 of them, it'll happen.

    simply just need cp3 back.

    his decision making down the stretch is lightyears ahead of harden.

    Did you turn the game on with 30 seconds left or something?

    The refs had been keeping them in the game since the 2nd Q

    Rockets shoot 9-37 from 3 and only lose by single digits? If an opposing team ever did that to us one day, they'd lose by 30. They've got to figure out why they're making 3s in practice, but not in games. They're off to an atrocious start shooting the rock this year... The defense has kept us afloat thus far.

    Maybe CP3 can play if it is a bruise that he can't hurt any further?

    I get being cautious...

    But almost a month for a bruise? Yeah, that's new to me.

    yup somethings just won't change, it's just one of those games for Harden when a player gets into his head and he goes full iso mode and fail. Member Wesley Matthews
