    Rockets must watch the film tonight and copy how the Spurs run the Parker/Duncan screens. That is something to emulate. Imagine Harden getting all those open looks.

    Amazing, but the difference was only free throws. Rockets made 15 of 26. Spurs 22 or 24. Rockets hit 22 of 26 and they win.

    Reasons we lost:

    1. Spurs shoots lights out
    2. Officiating, esp. the jumpball foul on Harden and those offensive foul calls in the start of Q4.
    3. Harden in foul trouble
    4. Asik and Smith in foul trouble
    5. Asik and Aldrich can't finish around the rim
    6. Morris bricks wide open 3s

    Harden with 33, 7, and 5. Lin with 21, 8, and 4. Parsons with 24, 5, and 8. And we still lose, because the refs had it in for us, and also because our big men got abused thanks to Cole Aldrich playing half the game and Omer having a tough defensive night against a hot Timmy D.

    They're so tired. I'm scared to see what's going to happen to them tomorrow. Poor James :(.

    Refs won this for the Spurs imo.

    Foul trouble made Asik a non-factor. 4th quarter was flop after flop as well as bs calls against Rockets sapping all momentum. Parker was getting tons of ticky-tack and bs calls.

    With even a 50-50 reffed game Rockets win this.

    That ending was awful. Rockets went cold in the 4th and COULD NOT GET STOPS! But the game was entertaining.

    Once we get a better bench, improve the chemistry among Lin, Parsons, James and Asik and get another star to pair up with Harden we'll dominate the Southwest

    Played an even game with a win-now team for 3 quarters before the refs handed the game to those punks on a platter.

    Love this teams heart, talent and energy.
