    This is irritating that CP3 can't stay on the court. This is a win going away with him in there.

    Yes, I'm sure when Harden is being trapped Chris f**king Paul will just stand around looking confused.

    shrug

    we’re clearly better than OKC when at full strength

    we’ve seen what this team is capable of

    this loss doesn’t mean much

    I don’t think we can beat okc in 7 game series.

    this game was lost on absurd shooting from okc, but what an abysmal last minute.

    trevor, uhh maybe don't force up a 3 in a 3 point game with james laying on the ground on the other end.

    i could feel james trying to force that 3 into roberson and he did like an idiot. terrible attempt to draw a foul. just take the friggin' shot.

    and gordon caps it off with another dribbling exhibition. dribbles for 2 seconds and manages to get stripped.


    oh and roberson 2-4, clint 0-2 from the line was the ultimate killer. when you'red down 3 and a 60% shooter gets outshot by a 29% shooter, it's tough to win. i really wanna look at the big 3 shot chart. i don't recall george or melo taking a shot inside 10 feet, unless that 1 melo post-up counts.

    i had a feeling all season we would lose this game (because that's what rockets teams do), and we did. and i knew we'd get great shooting from okc, because that's what happens to rockets teams in a big games.

    Ryno is no closer, get him on the bench at crunch time. Ryno is best when we have big leads, or big deficits.

    take away his ref-baiting, and Harden's scoring ability isn't that impressive tbh

    We are not going to be beating good teams without CP3, at best we are even with them....with CP3, our 2nd unit dominates and we pull away.

    Without him we are a good but not great team - we are last year's team.

    We gave that game away with turnovers and missed opportunities. We beat ourselves more than OK3 beat us.

    He was actually missing every shot in the last minutes...the last one was freaking terrible, zero excuses.
