    Wow.

    Well. Obviously we shouldn't be surprised by no home court advantage.

    But I'm surprised by the amount of wide open shots we've had.

    Fingers crossed we knock those down in the second half. Because it doesn't bode well if we keep the same course.

    As always, stupid decisions creeping into our game.

    And oh lord Harden and Paul. You need to be just as good this half as you were bad that first one.

    Harden and Paul got 11 points on 4/20 FG. Their shots will come back.

    We've had 3 straight duds offensively. We're consistently struggling to get any good shots.

    if the rockets hit just a 3'rd of those open shots they'd be up double digits.

    actually it has been working a treat. People will think it isn't working because the shots are not falling but they are getting the looks they want

    Come on CP3.

    Even Prigioni would play better than 2pts in 1st half.

    They're great defensively, but holy crap are they moving slow as crap on offense.

    The play after Clint blocked Durant, CP passes to Harden and Harden instead of swinging it to Ariza in the corner holds it and lets GSW's defense set up. Probably the most frustrating play of the game for me up until this point!

    If harden and Paul step up in second half they will win.

    They both no showed the first half.

    just like harden and cp3 could get their shot back, curry, durant, and thompson could get their shot back as well.

    Rockets following Mike's plan of hoisting 45 3s this game.

    They have attempted 25 by halftime.

    Problem is they are missing everything AND

    THE PAINT IS WIDE OPEN WITH HARDLY ANY RIM PROTECTION.

    Hey Mike, maybe we should mix it up and attack the rim as well?

    Its not me hating guys....

    If you dont make enough shots then you dont deserve to win. There is still a very realistic shot that they can make shots and earn it. As of right now the score is tied because they havent earned the lead.

    Here's an idea. Instead of shooting 50+ three pointers, how's about giving the ball to Capela in the paint 50+ times????

    And I'm just a fan.

    Kenny is right. Just don't do that... JH and CP. Attack early and kick out... We have no rhythm.
