    Doesn't matter what he or Harden got. The end result is still a loss. I'll take the W any day over player heroics.

    Harden's weird Stat line: 42 pts, but only 2 rbs and *1* assist.

    We really need to get Clint back.

    CP3 was 1 assist short of a triple double.

    They blew a 26 point lead at home without Clint.

    This isn't about Clint being missing. This is about a team that has issues closing teams out.

    This team never steals wins or we can’t win with our B stuff. That’s what great teams do.

    Cool hearing Rockets PA announcer, Matt Thomas, say "Manimal" for Kenneth Faried.

    It's because we actually don't have any good defensive players in the team this season, so our composure goes out the window because of it. Tucker is probably our only decent one.... and he's really off this season.

    Thank God it's the weekend and I don't have to put up with a well-deserved savaging from the media.

    That isn't really the point. The point is that even in one of his best games of the year, he still doesn't look like a $40 mil player, and we are capped out for the foreseeable future with no ability to sign another impact player. This is while we are getting WORSE compared to the upper echelon of the league.

    I cringe when Faried passes the ball. He seems to turn it over a lot.

    It wasn't Harden's fault he only had 1 assist. Kenneth Brick Butterfingers Faried cannot make wide open layups.

    This team is just weak mentally, they start missing shots & then collectively shove their heads up their asses... it's a circle jerk of stupidity

    My friend asked me why everyone allow Westbrook to layup.

    I agree. A lot of times when Harden doesn't get assists are because players are missing wide open shots from his passes. And he's missing Capela's movement in the paint.

    1 assist short of a triple double. He's shaking off the rust. I expect bigger things in the next few weeks.

    This team sucks. Consistently doesn’t take games seriously. Deserve whatever low seed they get and whatever weak playoff exit that comes their way.
