    It was a great game!!!!
    3s didn't fall in the 4Q and player were too tired in the OT.
    Nothing to blame

    Go Rockets!!!

    Coach obviously saw what was happening. Why didn't he do something?

    Had like 4 consecutive wasted possessions in OT. Won't win like that.

    Harden was gassed in the 3rd, running on fumes in the 4th, and was dead in OT. Perhaps our offense asks too much of one guy.

    I was sitting here hoping Harden wouldn't get the ball. 3rd quarter - overtime he was acting like a complete *******.. That was teh most disappointing basktball game I have ever seen. It was right there on a ****ing platter and harden didn't want to eat.

    No ****ing killer instinct. NONE!

    It is just too many turnovers for OT.

    I say keep Harden for another couple of years. If we are still witnessing meltdowns like this, trade him for picks. I am 1st of all a Rockets fan.

    Harden shooting the 3 hot early was a problem, just like I predicted. He falls in love with that 3 and he ended up with a bad 3 point shooting night but took like 15 god dang.

    Yeah NBA gets their way with a game 7 and rockets run spurs out their own gym. This game going to OT hurts the spurs fatigue wise.

    Really no reason why we can't win this series. All we have to do is win Thursday and it's just a one-game playoff.

    I think MDA ****ed up by not giving Dekker, Trez meaningful minutes earlier in the series. Rockets looked tired. Also, where the **** is Lou.

    Wow that was pretty bad. We need to play with our BRAINS at the end of games. It didn't even look like we had a strategy on offense from 3:00 left in the fourth and on . . . :(

    Harden carried this team for most of the game. He sucked in overtime but seriously most of you guys are ****ing p*****s. I hate these loser over reactions. Harden sucks in these playoffs? Really?

    You can't play a 7 man rotation with 2 big men and expect anybody to have legs in the 4th and overtime. Harrell is siting over there. Some of this is on Harden and the rest of the team but mostly I'm looking at poor coaching.

    All the Harden sucks people can **** right off.

    Your going to ride with your best player.. I just cant believe how abysmal he was.. EVERYBODY stepped up. All Harden had to do was get ONE bucket.
