    Aldridge was a no show in OT. He's not relevant here. What do you mean how do you get stops? You're telling me you can't stop Danny green who is not even a penetrator get to the basket for a layup and foul? Gs or clev would never allow that to happen

    Means nothing...

    He was 0-1 FG and 5 TO's due to exhaustion. Dang.

    Just reminding that we're also playing the Spurs, oldest team in the league? And after they had less rest than us after a very physical series against Memphis...

    Nope because fatigue is just a scapegoat excuse. It comes down to who wants it more and can execute in those moments

    We were also playing at a faster pace, in fact it is the one thing we know we can do against the Spurs. If we push the pace the Spurs fall apart.

    But 7 guys pushing the pace? Won't work. Kerr/Warriors understand MDA's offense better than he does, Kerr always goes deep on his bench, sometimes 9/10 deep.

    Nobody can argue with this type of logic. It's just math. Total game minutes multiplied by 5, divided by 9 = 29 min avg

    Total minutes times 5, divided by 7 = 38 min avg

    ITS NOT A GIMMICK. Our guys played 9 min more on average. Don't tell me shhit that can be quantified doesn't exist or is a gimmick. Wake up

    fatigue or not, 3 TO in overtime is not acceptable, maybe it's on coach, maybe it's on him, we simply can't win anything with this.

    So if we only play 5 players next game and they tired, it's an excuse?

    People want to put it ALL on Harden.

    A lot of it IS ON HARDEN...

    But a lot of it is on Coach. A lot of it is also on Lou and EGO once again both being cold at the same time. We get our usual output from them, a Win. At the end of the day, Rockets could have played better.

    Before OT. The two Aldridge plays got the game tied before the harden offensive foul. Pay attention.

    Agreed. Plenty of blame to go around.

    Yes it's a gimmick. Fatigue is not the reason Houston lost tonight. That's probably the worst excuse someone could use in a game like that. Not one single player is going to even bring that up ever

    What did I say in my post. Aldridge was a no show in OT yet you bring up before OT. Who cares. Pay attention

    Funny how you have to make up a hypothetical scenario to try and make an excuse

    You are the one pretending like fatigue doesn't exist.

    Your comment was about end of game defense, which applies to 4th quarter. Your OT comment was in response to my comment. Your dumbass can't even follow the line of conversation

    ****, what a tough loss.. wasn't able to watch cuz of work but seriously MDA needs to expand this rotation with Nene out, can't have guys playing heavy minutes cuz fatigue comes into play if the game goes OT. Team better show up Thursday or it's the end.

    Not really. That's your own assumption.

    Fatigue just isn't the reason Houston lost. And like I said it's a scapegoat excuse if you actually think that's the reason they did.
