    Nope. Not a Harden call. Not even close.

    Harden carried offensively in regulation and got hunted/exposed in overtime. The one that drives me crazy is just him literally losing bullock for nothing. There wasn't a screen or anything, just flat out was ball watching ...

    Though there were for sure two kickballs that weren't called where he jab-crossed left to right and it hit the opposing player's feet. Didn't get the whistle for both. Sucks.

    CP a little too passive in crunchtime too ... With such little help for harden, makes you wonder how our depth is going to kill us if we keep at this for the whole season and the playoffs

    Hope there's enough gas to win tomorrow.

    Tough game to let slip away. Turnovers down the stretch and poor shooting killed.

    Overall it showed the Rockets are a more dangerous opponent than the Pistons, even with Drummond and Griffin.

    Their backcourt is lacking.

    Still keep waiting for Eric Gordon to blow up and be super hot in a game, but just isn’t happening

    We fought hard. We are definitely lacking some pieces.

    I don't even think it was that bad of a game. Harden just got worn out, he kept getting blocked going to the rim, what do you want from him honestly. He had to single handedly carry the offense in the first 3 quarters because Paul was 1-8 from the field.

    I also think the switch onto bigs strategy is not sustainable, sure Harden can guard a PF on some possessions, asking him to do it every possessions is not realistic, he will eventually get tired and out powered.

    I thought we fought hard tonight either way and forced OT, one dumb foul from Tucker turned it all around. Oh well, onto the next one.

    thanks, I missed most of the game didnt catch but the last 5 minutes. Refs have been trying to give them the win since the pistons were in Houston. This was all rigged from the beginning. Warriors are struggling, let's make the rockets lose too.

    Rockets really need some help from their bench.

    Gordon playing the way he is, Green, Hartenstein and Clark just aren't cutting it offensively. We need Gordon to snap out of it, we need a Lou Will or something.

    this is a rigged fuking league and anyone who aims to dispute that either doesn't know basketball, is disingenuous, or blind.

    too many games with too many missed calls favoring the other team. oh wait, such as the game just a couple nites ago in fact.

    Harden never does the “pump fake and jump into the defender” move...that’s not a Harden call, that’s just a bullsh*t call

    there should be an investigation to see if any suspicious funds were wired to any of these refs’ bank accounts tonight
