    Sure as hell isnt the excuse tonight... if we can go up 20 in the 4th you NEED to finish it off. I don't doubt we have no legs but you can't.... CANT let one player absolutely dominate you and you flat out can't miss open shot after open shot after open shot. You just can't.

    Hands down the worst loss of the year. I'd definitely start kicking around some roster moves. This is a prolonged drought.

    I think I reached that point where I just want 15 guys who would drive to the basket all game long. Morey needs to rethink his moneyball strategy.

    This team ain't winning more than one game in a row for the rest of the season. Quote that.

    Harden absolutely needs playmakers. Period. He is Nash on steroids with nobody to pass it to.

    Horrible way of playing. I'm getting real tired of them shooting nothing but 3's. They're only making at least less than 10 in the last few games.

    Not to mention they were on the 2nd game of a back to back... on the road. No excuse. Rockets should have won this game.

    He gave his team multiple chances to win with wide open threes. This game is not on him. You can blame everyone besides Harden and Capela for this loss.

    The stink of the real D'Antoni is starting to take over the team.

    This is why he has such a sorry record after the Phoenix Years

    Dude is just an "offensive co-ordinator"

    Knew this guy was fools gold

    Harden had no help on offense tonight. The team still needs a big and another PG that can create.

    Every time we lose, I wonder why KJ didn't take Brewer's minutes; and I usually wonder why no MonstaTrezz. This one hurt.

    That's bullshit. This loss hurts 1000 worst because Dwight has now swept us and he celebrated like he won the finals on our home floor along with Bazemore who totally shitted on us in the offseason when we tried to sign him. Everyone on this this team has pie on their face and this is an absolute morale crusher.

    Yep. This. This is the biggest thing wrong with this team. No one on the team makes wide open 3s...at some point these guys have to hit again. They are 3 point shooters, no excuses for them to be this bad at it.

    This. We have bunch of overrated defenders (Capela, Ariza, Beverley, etc.) as the core of our defense, no wonder we stink on that front.

    Yeah, me too.

    At the same time I was thinking, "WOW, I never thought Ariza would make that shot".

    Then.... confirmed, he didn't make it. Dunk on the other end 5-point loss. SMH
