    The guy who doesn't think fatigue exists can't school anyone on sports.

    If the rockets really believe they let one slip away like they said, then yeah I like their chances.

    You don't think it could have the opposite effect? Let down that they let one get away and come out mentally soft

    If that's true then we'll find out easily from the beginning bc the Spurs will run hou out our own building bc guys will give up one by one

    Your excuse is more of an excuse.

    Whose to say the Rockets didn't want it more? I could want it more than any of them and still I wouldn't be able to guard anyone on the team. When you watch long distance runners do you think it comes down to wanting it more? Have you ever pushed yourself to the absolute limit in any sport? I can tell you from experience, it doesn't come down to wanting it more. It comes down to how much your body can take before completely tapping out.

    The whole if they just wanted it more they could have win is more BS if you ask me. It's not provable AT ALL. I can tell you right now you won't be able to find a team that won a playoff game with 7 man rotation. There's a reason for that.

    Nothing like going to bed feeling like you have been kicked in the balls.

    This is Skip Bayless territory. Excruciating pain and who wanted it more like in the Finals......

    Everyone wants it.....it is all about execution, execution and execution.

    That loss hurt so bad. Reason being, we shot ourselves in the freaking foot. During one stretch in the 4th, the Spurs were ice cold. And instead of capitalizing on that golden opportunity, we missed wide open three after three, and turnover after turnover and Mr. Hero dribble dribble the clock all the way down happened. Why in the world can't this young man understand that doesn't work for him and our Rockets in the freaking playoffs. And top it off 4 freaking turnovers in overtime 0 points.


    Clutch family we are done

    Both LMA and Leonard are hurt and we couldn't come away with a victory

    MDA is really dumb when it comes to rotations, its his bad habit back in PHX and same thing is happening again now. You can't have just 7 guys play wtf is this slam dunk?! Gori, Miyagi, Sakuragi, Rukawa, Mitsui and then glasses boy? Is this where MDA got all his coaching strats?

    Fatigue is definitely a thing, this is already the 2nd round and they have a game every other day. Harden had a massive brainfart and thats lack of focus due to fatigue.

    I hate to say it but I think the Spurs have a 90% chance to win the series now. Ryno played well this game so he is due for a pathetic showing in game 6 or game 7. Perhaps exiting out than expected is a blessing in disguise. MDA will have the chance to reflect on his subs and Morey will know he has to unload Ryno in the offseason. Unfortunately, Mr. Anderson is not the one.
