    yeah, every time he gets doubled he throws a lazy slow pass the receiver can do nothing with. and our shooters all act like they've never seen an open shot before. get used to it, dammit.

    Gordon really showed how important he is for the team
    Green and Johnson just didn’t give us enough. They had the worst +/- on the team.

    I’m not worried about the loss though. Most of the starters still had a positive +/-. But we need Gordon and Anderson in there to make their 3s.

    i don't understand why d'antoni doesn't put the ball in chris paul's hands when he sees harden clearly having one of those brainfart nights.

    that's the luxury of having one of the highest bbiq point guards in the history of the nba with one of the best assist to turnover ratios ever.

    i'm really worried d'antoni is going to blow it coaching like he always does.

    This is what worries me! OKC switched up their D and shut him down. I’m hoping EGo being open in those situations will be the difference

    Rockets will probably play most of their guys on Tuesday @ LAL and then rest everyone @ SAC

    I disagree. These are important minutes. OKC treats this game like its playoff. This is a team that has a reputation of choking in the playoff. THey have to learn to win these games. We're seeing flaws from the Houston Rockets that the coaching staff can hopefully find a way to fix.

    But its been this way all season, every time our ball handler gets trapped it feels like everyone is just standing around watching...I don't get it...

    i agree. just the idea he has unmatched intensity typically only applies to offense. the clips of him literally not moving on D as players swirl around him because he is waiting to chase the rebound are hilarious. there's a reason he challenged the fewest jump shots for big minute guys last year.

    They haven't in the past couple of games they continue to let harden iso way too much at the end. PJ hit 3 key shots from ball movement...where the **** was that before?

    We played terrrible 2nd half 2 games in a row. It is as if we practice how to lose a game.

    Hopefully we do not choke like this in playoffs.

    This game doesn't mean much for us, as today at least...but i still hate to see us play James and Chris full minutes just to end up whining after getting our ass beaten by OKC at home.

    Seriously.

    Let CP3 run the show, that's why we got him. He will make snappy passes to the open guy when the double comes. Harden over thinks it.
