    Overtime was an absolute shitfest!

    One bad possession after another and allowing too many offensive rebounds. It was right there for the Rockets taking and they couldn't pull it out even without Kawhi!

    A- ****ING-MEN - his turnovers are a big problem - who cares if you win 55 games in the regular season if you revert to a man of clay in crunch time against disciplined pressure teams.

    Harden is so careless with the ball - he has work to do in that area to get to that next level.

    it's on james, but d'antoni was his willing accomplice. you can't watch the offense (reggie miller could see it!) for almost 8 straight minutes and not say something. i mean we finally drove for a few 3's in OT and simmons pokeaway stopped another, but iw as pathetic by mike. and no timeout is inexcusable. what do you have them for coach!?

    Their failure isn't your success (to the usual suspects).

    Fortunately for us, game 5 doesn't determine the victor. Go ROX

    To many reasons to count for this loss. Bad coaching, a stupid rotation, a star player more concerned with showing that he is the MVP than winning a game, fatigue from a to small rotation, etc., etc.

    As much as I like Harden, this loss is on him. At the same time, D'Antoni's 7 man rotation was a killer. The fact that he let the team play through all the BS is inexcusable for an experienced coach. The whole team was slow and lethargic late in the 4th Q. No Tony and no Kawhi for most of the 4th - this was THE game to steal.

    He held onto Anderson after that tip. The block was about as easy a play as you get in basketball.

    Spurs got lucky.

    If Kawhaii and Parker wasn't hurt, there would be no Danny Green, Simmons, Mills, or Manu

    I told y'all. let LMA shoot, not the 4 other guys

    Shoulda pulled harden the 5th time he walked across halfcourt and turned it over.

    whatever the reason, rox win if he isn';t on the floor in OT.

    Everyone. The Spurs were drained.

    You have to play these dudes man, Dekker and Trez played all year, it makes no sense that you give them 0 trust in the playoffs. We need them.

    Sick of this. This series is over. The NBA won't allow Houston to win and either way the Warriors are just waiting to kill the next team up.

    No Rocket fan should have ever believed this team was truly a contender.

    There are too many fundamental flaws to this team.

    Add to that they collective basketball IQ is so far below any other team hoping to win a championship.

    It isn't a good mix.
