    Rox couldn't play any worse offensively and only lost by 2 points...something to be said about that. Missed over 25 3's tonight or something like that on top of it all with no Capela

    We were fine until Harden came back in. Sheesh, that was painful to watch. Before that 19-4 Spurs finish, the effort on D and the hustle to overcome our atrocious shooting was really great.

    That iso/hero ball stuff needs to cease.

    Encouraging loss.

    Missing alot of open shots, missing Capella and the game still came down to the wire.

    You can't win every game, so no need to dwell on this one. On to the next game.

    Those 2 turnovers in a row did the Rockets in.

    Yeah but he also just gave the ball away at the end in a lol way

    It's okay we plaed out hearts out imo, when threes don't fall they don't fall

    I just don't get when Harden came back in he was in slow motion. Team was rolling with all the momentum and he comes in running basketball's version of the prevent. smh

    Spurs are a team used to wining and closing out games. We are a team that is not.It is a process. They will hopefully learn because Phoenix in Phoenix are no push overs if we don't come ready tomorrow night.

    I know Harden likes to fasilatate offense and pass out but in the clutch he has been passing out to other players more this year. We need him to be the top 2 MVP in the clutch. A lot of them seemed nervous tonight

    Brutal.

    And am I the only one who's not sold on the Spurs? I mean they're obviously very good but they don't scare me at all.

    What's the point to set a pick for Harden to switch to LMA if he was going to shoot a 3 every time?

    When a big man is on you, why do you not drive in? You're faster, quicker and was in the bonus? There is no one to protect the paint if LMA is already out at the 3pt line.

    Good grief, stop bitc*ing people. It was an extremely close game with the Rockets shooting *very* poorly from 3 - their bread and butter. There was a lot to like in this game, and had the shots been falling like normal this wouldn't even have been close.

    Spurs have to be nervous having such a nailbiter with us shooting so poorly.
