    I'm honestly shocked we kept this within single digits considering we made FIVE freaking threes the entire game.

    If we can just shoot our average against them with a healthy Anderson, we'll be in every game.

    The Rockets had that guy earlier in the season when they were killing teams - Eric Gordon. Not sure what happened to him but he seems a shadow of what he was a couple of months ago.

    Biggest play of this game might have been Draymond punching Harden's wrist. Harden is clearly in pain and needs to rest now.

    I see a lot of people saying the Rockets could have won if only they'd shot better from 3, but that was largely by design as the Warriors were covering the line tightly. Another little preview of playoff-style defense the Rockets better solve.

    I'm tired of PAT BEV's FAKE DEFENSE.

    PAT BEV is worse than FAKE NEWS.

    HE does the fake 94 ft defense by everyone just destroy him.

    He let Curry act like he was the REAL MVP instead of Harden

    Harden clearly didn't look right out there, even Stevie Wonder could see that

    Is this what Playoff basketball will be like?

    We need to replace Ariza with a guy like Paul George, that's the only way

    Harden either needs to sit out a week or have a SEVERE minutes reduction for 2 weeks to be ready for the playoffs.

    Also, Golden State defended the 3 point line and made us look just stupid.

    Time to rest Harden for the rest of the season.

    No reason to play him with 3rd best record locked.

    He was obviously in pain. If Harden wasn't hurt, GSW wouldn't have a chance tonight. GSW got lucky that Harden was hurt and had an off night

    not too many teams can defend us like the Warriors can...not only do they pack the paint, but they also do a great job of closing out at the 3 point line and contesting our shots from out there

    they have also found a way to prevent Harden from going off on them

    Harden may not admit it but he def needs rest, looked slow & inefficient, Ugliest triple dub I've ever seen. We need him at his best come playoffs. I say rest him the next few games & let him heal up.

    This was a preview of how teams are going to play us in the playoffs, if we had more off ball screens like the Warriors do, we could get some more open 3pt shots.

    But they are gonna switch everything and guard the 3pt line.

    I'm not sure why Harden is still playing. Rockets have nothing to gain


    James Harden was in the locker room with his left wrist wrapped in ice.
