    I don’t complain too much refereeing but this was just terrible.
    Between the missed shooting calls and obvious flops..

    Add to that the poor defense by the rockets with a cold 3rd quarter..it was too much to overcome. Especially when rivers is shooting 3s from Baytown.

    Wow at dis one. Rockets need some time off to get healthy and recollect themselves.

    Harden and gordon were amazing but no one else could do jack chit.

    We miss capela a lot

    The refs have what amounts to a vendetta against Harden because of the leagues attempt to cut down on his free throws

    Rockets defensive intensity has been slipping for a few weeks. They once again tried to turn it on too late - they let a 13 point lead slip away by playing without intensity and once they gave the Clips momentum it was too late.

    This team is very good, but to win you have to have more of a mental edge. No reason to lose to a Blakeless Clippers even without Capela and Paul.

    I try to look at the big picture but this loss is inexcusable...how does a team as devoid of offensive fire power come back from 14 down and score 120... that said, clippers were hitting some crazy shots that wouldn’t typically go in..

    Whoa, so it turns out Chris Paul and Clint Capela are actually pretty valuable.

    The rest of the Rockets besides EGo and Harden should run laps/shooting drills/ dont leave the court

    This loss is far more pathetic than the Lakers loss

    Also **** these refs, some random rookie who should have fouled out getting huge flop calls in a close game in the 4TH against the MVP on his home court
