    What a wild ending there, that was a horrible horrible 4th quarter from the Rockets and shouldn't have even gotten that close but at least we came out with the win.

    That 2nd half choke was alarming. Trying or not, you just don't let that happen.

    The inconsistency of this team these last 2 weeks is worrisome.

    James always gets soo lethargic when doubled and during inbounds plays, especially against bad teams or when we have big leads, come on man...this game would've been in garbage time for at least the last 5 minutes if he played a bit more seriously.

    James just doesn’t respond well to double coverage. He either gets stuck or makes a terrible pass. If that’s what defenses are going to do, then he needs to get the ball back to CP3 and play off the ball.

    Teams won’t run that constantly so he’ll still have plenty of touches. But he isn’t trustworthy as the primary ball handler under pressure.

    I think they'll lose to OKC and one of Sac/LAA. I'm hoping Harden and Paul play a combined 4 of the 6 games.

    Every single player on that floor had a hand in what just happened. Harden included. No big deal though. On to the Next meaningless game

    can Harden lead the team to win a champion? I don't think so!

    The CP3 game winner was eerily similar to his game 7 winner against the Spurs a couple of years ago.

    I think one word summarizes this game: "No Layups, not while I'm around."

    was that more than one word?

    Well McCollum couldn't keep his promise either

    Go Rockets!

    The batteries from Murray's PS4 controller died out in the last 4 mins.

    Hardens inability to hit clutch FTs is concerning. It's happened a good amount of times this seasons. I'm not saying we lost a lot of last second games, but many games continued to be within reach because he missed 1 or both of several last attempts.

    I don't remember this being an issue in previous seasons.

    harden and d'antonio better get ready.

    that early trap on the perimeter and full court press is the formula teams are gonna use to slow down the rockets great offense.
