    This game is going to hunt my dream lol

    We should've win this, we had control of the game and James totally ruined our momentum in the third quarter...also ugly rotations by MDA, Clint was playing so well and he benched him all the finals minutes, like, wtf...

    Saw that too. But we lost this game for not scoring for over 6 minutes.

    Rockets really wanted Capela to play. He got played by Westbrook. Butter fingers and got buttered by Durant's sidekick.

    When Harden has vomit inducing games like these... it gets really tough to watch, it's like everything that can go wrong does go wrong for the entire team for some reason.

    They scouted Harden and Oladipo is a good defender and gets hot because he watches tape. He is smart and he listens. He knows how to get the advantage over Harden on both offense and defense. He is like playing a playoff match up when he goes up against superstars worth scouting.

    Relying on shooting 3's won't help. I hope this teach them a lesson.

    It's clear Morey needs to upgrade the bench, BADLY. Need more scoring options to finish what Harden gives them. Can't have your starting SG go 5-20 and have no one to replace him. Beverley will help with knocking down outside shots, but we need more.

    What's up with KJ getting a DNP-CD now?

    Rox got better players to shoot.. Dekker is coming along well... It seemed that the Thunder guarded every play all too well during the last 6 mins... Just there with a hand in the face so every other shot was contested.

    Gordon was in there for too long, he played 38 mins tonight, thats why they missed like 7 3s

    More Dekker, Capela, Less Nene, Brewer, Anderson. Pretty obvious coaching decisions that haven't been made.

    That wasnt the reason for the L! It was Harden playing dribble dribble dribble down 24 seconds and chuck a 3 and miss
