Feigen tweeted Rockets were 5 of 21 in the 4th. All 5 (on 15 attempts) were 3 pointers. I hate it when they just start jacking up 3's at the end of games instead of driving the ball or going to the post. It doesn't really seem like that strategy does anything more than let the other team back in the game. Fortunately, we've been able to rely on Harden to take over and hit clutch shots when we've needed him to.

Jesus people, I guess y'all think it's fine to blow 15 point leads in the 4th quarter but I know we're better than that. The Hawks clearly were not on top of their game tonight, we had many opportunities to win the game and committed bone-headed plays down the stretch. Am I not allowed to be frustrated? And thanks for calling my posts "garbage," much appreciated.
This is why the rumor that the Rockets wanted an attack lead guard to drive and kick along with Harden were so believable.
Yes. You can tell that the ridiculous 4Q officiating was designed to allow the Hawks to get back in the game. Obviously not having beard in there (and Dwight) disallowed the rox to beat the refs and counter the Hawk's ramped up defense. So the league felt like it truly punished the rockets/James Harden bc tonight was a loss. Way to sell the "mommy he kicked me in my dik" Lechoke
Clearly there is something magical to make the refs root against us in every single game in the history of the NBA. Out of 30 teams we are the only one they all hate. We have never gotten the benefit of the doubt in any game we've won. This is a record.
We had the win in the bag & fell apart at the end… No plays, just jack it up, jack it up..5/21 in the 4th??? Come on coach… The officiating in the 4th took a turn for the worst as well…that flop by Milsap & the Tech on D-Mo? B.S. There was also an obvious goal tend on Terrence Jones' shot by Milsap that wasn't called. That being said, we played well for 36 minutes of the game, & dominated without Dwight or Harden…& the Hawks commentators were actually quite good.
Well they could have if we had a little better execution in the 4th...but still no big worries..... I liked how they played for the first 3 quarters but when the heat was up, we did not have a true ball handler out there, Prigioni was on the bench, he should have been in there to help facilitate. Oh well...on to Memphis tomorrow - did I mention if we won we would be battling for first place tomorrow? Meh, never mind. DD
Where is Canaan when you need him? (just kidding) Seriously how can professional ballers not know how to run different types of offenses?

<iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="//imgur.com/a/fNb2V/embed"></iframe> Need better angles. Did the rockets' broadcast had better angles?
With a good coach, we would've won, that's all I'm saying. .good effort! Some played way too many minutes though.
no. i thought that was suspect they didn't show any replays when the refs were reviewing it for 2 minutes
This is why I was advocating a win over a loss. Regardless of Hardens MVP campaign but in retrospect ephod have done WONDERS for the public eye to see just how great Harden makes this team. ..wait? Harden's team leads a #2 seed in the west and did it without Howard or another max contract/bonified all star player? Wait, you're saying this is the first year this team has been playing together??? Incredible
