    Well after this game, my confidence has gone way down. Was hoping to see better from the team but Harden got no where near enough help.

    We're you the one who was going to catch up on the Americans? Felicity scares the hell out of me now.

    Still think this series is winnable. If our bench starts showing up and we tighten up the D, we've got a chance.

    Even if we get one more star player, they still outnumber us 4-3. We probably aren't giving the Rockets enough credit for even being competitive.

    Now what? We wasted Hardens fantastic game. Curry will probably be the one who goes off game 2 for 35+ and Harden will likely have a down game.

    Bottom line:

    You have to play flawless to beat the Warriors.

    We didn’t so we lost. Wecant miss free throws, Layups and lose Klay ****ing Thompson for open 3s

    This was basically Game 1 vs the T'Wolves all over again with only Harden and Capela showing up. The problem is we weren't playing the T'Wolves.

    I don't mind losing, it's the oboxnious warrior fans, media b.s. about my team, and the negative moaners on here that makes the loss sting even more

    LOL we lost, deal with it. You should probably look at the post I replied to dummy. Moral victories means nothing.

    Warriors are too good. It is what it is.

    Rockets have to be perfect to win.

    Not even buying that for a second. They took Ariza out of the game in the first half and every single time we got the lead back to 7-8 the refs immediately called a phantom foul.

    The free throw numbers don't even tell the story - watch the tape and count how many of our personal fouls were on actual contact.

    And I bet you'll just excuse that blatant backcourt violation which swung the game from a 5 point spread to 8, with 3 minutes left?

    I'm pissed off right now so spare me your stupid polyanna homer goggles garbage.

    This is a perfect personification of the rating of each team, the Rockets are an amazing, but the Warriors are an all time great team.

    It is what it is. They ruined the league and the only fix is Lebron coming to the Rockets next year.
