    Barkley and Shaq just said it best..."couldn't find that switch...couldn't turn it on"...that BS of playing 60% or so of a game will get you what we got ..a whipped ass.

    Shitty game but we’re a level above them as a team. Doesn’t guarantee we win this series but I think it’s still likely we win the next 3 in a row. Will have to play better than this to beat Golden State though.

    That's why the Rockets need to get off to a great start in 1st quarter so we can absorb bad referee calls.

    Yeah, going down 19 at home isn't ideal. Come out with effort from the start boys.

    Utah played well but the Rockets didn't start the game like they knew this was a playoff game.. It's so frustrating to watch.. And now everyone will Pile on more than when Utah beat the Thunder

    The Rockets screwed themselves. Now they've made this a series. If they advance, it'll take 6 or 7 games. And I wouldn't be too sure they'll advance. Utah is great at home. Just ask OKC.

    I didn't want adversity. I wanted domination.

    This ! How many wide open 3 points shots and I mean shots where there wasn’t a Rox 50 ft within the shooter did they get tonight? If you told me Mitchell would have 15 points before the game I would have guessed a rocket blowout but their defense was pathetic

    Didn't get to watch most of the game, but it appears Utah shot well from 3PT due to the openness of their attempts.

    Butt naked, as they say

    The main person we should blame is Eric Gordon. He has been so horrible all playoffs.

    they didn't even come out lackadaisical. They decided to trap on high pick n rolls and give up open dunks for an entire half.

    The Rockets deserved to lose this game.

    The Rockets had zero respect for the Jazz in this game after going up big in game 1.

    They had to fall behind 19 points to even show any real effort.

    Once the Rockets tied, they assumed they would win.

    You can’t spot a team 19 points and expect to win.

    If they don’t get focused and on the same page, they will lose this series in 6.

    So you appreciate scrubs who has been a bust, who flips on every play and screams bloody murder when they get a garbage time dunk?

    I think the worst part is that it doesn't even feel like a knee jerk in my mind that we could be coming back to houston down 3-1.

    Take a deep breath. Need to split it in Utah and regain home court advantage.Really dissapointed in the bench guys. They got production from their bench and ours sucked bad.
