    This team clearly has too short of a rotation. We don't even look competitive without CP3 and Capela. We need at least one more guy on this team, but who could that be? Not happening. This team needs CP3 and Capela healthy, otherwise we are not a good team, at least right now.

    I cant believe its Anderson that gets the blame for this loss.. THIS DUDE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO AFFECT A GAME THIS WAY!

    Lou Williams and Doc Jr went the **** off. Who gets teh blame for that? Anderson? come on guys.

    There is no other MVP candidate in the league who gets this much disrespect from the officials.

    The deserved free throws they take away pale in comparison to the utterly embarrassing offensive fouls off egregious flops from A ROOKIE.

    Harden let the bad calls get to him as did the rest of the team. That’s where we needed our floor general

    This team has got to stay way more composed during crunch time. We're not gonna win any playoff series against the Spurs or Warriors if we can't keep our composure. And it starts at the top with D'antoni and Harden, especially since CP3 is out.

    Once you see your coach lose it like that, the whole team will just give in and start cussing out the refs.

    The refs ****ed us on that b2b flop by g-leaguer Evans but this is just a regular season game. \

    The refs are also lucky Houston is not Detroit or Boston, otherwise the arena might've rioted on those 2 bad calls alone.

    remember when the heat and someone played a make-up game because of a protest because of shaq fouling out when he shouldn't have? can't we protest evans not fouling out and then drawing a bunch of shitbag fouls against us? or does the refs screwing you not matter, only the scorer's table?

    Austin Rivers burying 3s like he’s Steph Curry or something. Lou Williams having a nuclear hot Lou Williams night instead of an Antarctic cold Lou Williams night. James Harden is time warped to 2015 where he can score 50 and lose by 10.

    Good on him for getting ejected. Why the hell not? You got the money, you’ve got a point to prove. Prove it.

    When did Austin Rivers become Steph Curry?

    I am disappointed but I think it is fair to say they are 2 of our best defenders and offensive threats
    Luc - Was a + Defender as well

    This is where our lack of defense shows up

    Instead with have a Plus Offensive player . . . .that is kind of shitty on offense these days and a TOTAL NEGATIVE ON DEFENSE
    Capela was able to make up for defensive mistakes that NeNe cannot

    We would’ve won if they ain’t hit them crazy ass 3s. It’s all good though. This will make us hungrier.

    It’s eerie how much this game was just like the last one. Harden goes for 50 but LA nails their 3s and Houston plays absolutely zero defense.

    We are better this year because of that top 5 defense. When that goes away we lose to basically Lou Williams and a bunch of D leaguers.

    Capela is the MVP of this team. Anchors the defense and is deadly on the pnr. Without him it at all goes to ****.

    Also, what is wrong with Capela? I hope they just didn't play around and thought they could get away with this one because it was the Clippers.

    Capela makes such a huge difference for this team.

    Isolation never works out well. Need harden to be less of a scorer and more of a playmaker with cp3 out. As stupid as it sounds i think we would’ve been better off with him scoring 30-37ish points and getting some other guys hot

    austin rivers (G) and lou williams (G) destroyed this team, and people complaining about Ryno's defense.. because there's one player on this team that cannot be blamed no matter what
