    Ariza is slowing down and has allways been a average offensive player. Need to lighten his load.His minutes need to be shorten.
    Tons. They just kept missing. ALOT OF WIDE OPEN LOOKS.

    Harden had a monster game but was not as aggressive as he needed to be at the end. He, like the rest of the team was probably shell shocked. He needs to be a leader though and wake the team up.

    Also, MDA is probably going to win COTY but wow his rotations still annoy me. Why have Gordon on the court when you have a big lead late? Play better defensive players like McDaniels and Dekker. He did the same crap in that Spurs home game choke

    Not sure why you guys are so mad.

    Yes it would be nice if we didn't put the starters back in and had Wiltjertime and won by 30 but a win is a win. Hawks area good team btw.

    Sucks that we are so reliant on Harden but it bolsters his mvp case.

    Ryan Anderson contract = no flexibility

    And no assets either.

    Ariza has these games like 4-5 times a season.... where he starts jacking up shots early in the offense ...usually thats not a good sign... tonight he thought he was Ryan Anderson..... and is Montrez Hurt?

    Gave up Dwight for Capella.

    Let Tim hardaway look like an all star against us.

    Shooting bricks

    Ariza going full r****d hero mode.

    No defense


    Smh recipe for failure. We've been exposed since the new year.

    Morey thinks we have enough shooters for Dantoni's offense which is further from the truth as the Rockets are now 12th in the league in 3pt percentage while shooting the most 3's in the league. This single stat says that the Rockets will not go very far in the playoffs with the current personnel and offensive philosophy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets won't get passed the first round as teams lock in even more on their 3s.

    No one gave Dwight up, he left.

    This game was so embarrassing no Rockets players should be partying tonight... shouldn't be seen in a club after this humiliating choke job. All our players should be ashamed.

    I agree, but when you fall for the same thing over and over for a month I also blame Rex Ryan my bad I meant Jeff Bzdelik. The truest definition of basketball insanity, if he wasn't so hidden from the press his job might be on the line by now.

    Welp, it looks like Johnnie Walker Black will be getting my game ball of the night.

    SF is clearly our biggest weakness. Get Gordon Hayward and George Hill from the Jazz. Both are instant upgrades over our current starters and that team next year is REALLY close to being a championship contender.

    We did win. We retired Yao's 11. Harden hit 44.

    It was a great night.

    Well, agree on most except KJ is just pure garbage.

    One of the reason why this team has been blowing so many big leads this year with all these ugly losses is : there is no leadership and everyone is like a dumb fork sh'tting their pants on the floor and MDA also did nothing.

    MDA is great to call timeout to setup the play, but he need to realize you can use timeout for some other purposes, especially when you have the lead.
