    Every single playoff series is different.

    We've seen teams struggle to get past an 8th seed and go to the finals. What the Warriors do in their series and what we do in our series is irrelevant should we meet them in the WCF.

    Refs are by no means the reason we lost at all... but **** these refs.

    Oh well, hopefully this is enough of a wake up call for the whole playoffs.

    lmao. This is the best game they will play all season.

    BUT we look inconsistent and lazy. No way around that.

    Ariza has been so bad this game besides his 1st shot of the game.

    Bring on game 4!!

    Brother I’m one of those massively disappointed fans you speak of. The disinterest or lack of urgency is the worst. As a fan it’s just disappointing and infuriating.

    Why not try to go up 3-0 instead of going with the mentality “oh we can still split”. Just no killer instinct.

    The issue is exacerbated by the fact that the other west squads are about to sweep when the Rockets in fact had the “most sweepable” series and they are just blowing it.

    This will haunt them.

    Pretty sure Rockets are like 0-83 whenever PJ scores less than 4 pts or something like that.

    one of the worst defensive games i've seen the rockets play all year.

    on time of just low energy they can't stay in front of anybody which is forcing them to play off heavy and bring help that's giving them wide open shots.

    I kind of knew the refs would have a slight bias
    NBA needs $$$ and lot of other series are blowouts

    having said that, Rockets played terrible

    This was a punch. I hope the rockets wake up. Team has played at half speed since they clinched the best record.

    Wonder if the Rockets thought they we just so damn good that they didn't have to try. They forget without that injury to Butler Minny could easily have been a 3 seed. They deserved it more than the blazers did. We shot average from the 3. We can't expect much better. Now minny shooting 56%? That is WAY above their head. Either way they mopped the floor with us. Hope they are embarrassed by their effort and come out and take the wolves to the woodshed in game 4. They do NOT want to go back home tied up. Harden can't handle the pressure.
