    MDA is looking to see how they finish this game. Looking for anything positive

    The Stros are kicking the crap out of the Rangers right now so at least one Houston team is beating a Texas rival.

    I think you have that backwards...

    somebody needs to berate MDA for running Harden 34+ minutes in a meaningless game - when he should be rested for the playoffs...

    I mean, I know MDA thinks building good habits is vital, but geez, so is health and rest. Prioritizing the latter won't jeopardize an entire season's worth of good habits built as much as prioritizing the former can hurt you in the playoffs. Isn't MDA himself believing that Harden got tired? And we have two health scares in this game....just stop already. Play half games and practice situational things.

    he doesn’t consistently bring it against the best, but he’s still been great for us

    Eric Gordon would be your 2nd best player behind Aldridge.

    only thing the spurs has over the rockets is coaching.

    I really shouldn't be this disappointed considering the Rockets are number 1 in the league and the Rockets clearly didn't care about this game, but I am. I want the Rocket to come out and play like there is no equal.

    Harden should want revenge every game. He looks so foolish..

    No one will give him the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't matter what he has accomplished. Media is going to pounce.

    I would hate for the final 2:20 to run out while both teams have their bench at the check in table.

    Its not totally his fault, the spurs get in his head and he lets them...but they also defend him well. Dude can't do crap against this team

    That two minutes of rest there is really going to pay dividends. Now, try resting PJ Tucker and Ariza for a couple of games.

    I feel like we were getting a bit complacent during the win streak, hopefully this loss can bring out some of the fire back

    The Spurs are a good team, Popovich is a great coach.. They wanted this game and we didn't seem to care.
