Pathetic effort and defensive strategy, but it’s nothing new. Despite our good defensive rating, we give up great looks especially from three. Bottom of the league.
waste of time that could've been used on harden resting. d'antoni is an idiot. no wonder he's ringless.
it's a long and grueling season... any rest is good - but I'd imagine it would take at least a couple weeks to truly be back to 100%...
What’s the point of playing the regulars if they only goin go 1st gear? I don’t care how great our season been, this is not competitive basketball to play
I’m really not afraid of the Spurs. This is one of the worst games the Rockets have played all year and they could actually still win although not likely. I’m not “afraid” of OKC either, but I’d rather not face them. They have guys that could all of a sudden get hot and present a formidable challenge.
Hear you but that being the case...just don't play the starters. They don't want to be out there anyway. Green only one who seemingly cares.
Disagree that it's meaningless. Spurs winning makes it more likely we face them in Round 2, and I'd rather have the Warriors take care of them instead of us.
Rockets deserves this L, Harden came out like **** in the 1st half and was still laughing and joking on the bench with CP3. If you aren't going to take the games seriously, then you might as well just rest-DNP until the playoffs start. Harden needs to find his 3pt shot before the playoffs start otherwise we aren't making it out of the 2nd round.
The 3rd streak will end and I actually think it will help them in the long run for the playoffs this season. Ground them, get them fully focused again etc Just hate it was against this dirty ass team and **** refs.
Rockets can't let the air out of the ball for two weeks prior to the playoffs and hope they can suddenly flip a switch. Unless something strange happens, the OKC and POR games are the two they will try to win. Just beat OKC. I don't care about the other.
I'm kind of pissed the Rockets gave the Spurs the satisfaction. Rockets should play so teams know there is no hope of beating them. Harden in full loaf mode is fine losing to this chumps. 2 games now he is cool just being out there with everything locked up. Media going to say the spurs would be even greater with Kawhi now. They will use this game as ammunition against Harden's MVP. Trash effort. IF ROCKETS COME BACK PLEASE USE THIS POST AS MY SUBMISSION FOR THE DOUBTERS THREAD!
no doubt but there are some incredibly ridiculous calls going SA's way today, if you don't see that you are not being objective at all
MDA I hope will be smart about resting players over the next few games. If the Rockets are not healthy going into the playoffs, it’s absolutely his fault.
