    Capela just didnt have the spring tonight. Harden turned it over too much. We win with CP3 and EG. Regroup and bounce back for the next one.

    Lopez is a beast down low defensively. He owns Capela.

    I’ll more then happily live and die with Harden shooting until you can show me a clutch sharp shooter on our team who should be shooting before Harden......

    Needed Gordon tonight. Uggh.

    We will be alright though. Harden and bunch of role players still had them on the rope.

    Health of this team is the number one priority

    This lack of depth is just insurmountable. We are going to run Harden to the ground just to sneak into the playoffs where he will run out of gas again.

    It’s mind blowing no one on the team can tell clint to stop guarding sooo close at halfcourt with time running out. Really makes me mad

    Austin Rivers is an unbelievably low IQ player.

    Just as an aside, James Ennis is now my most hated player in the league.

    Lord help us if he's playing minutes other than 4th quarter blowouts in the Playoffs.

    He's just going to cost us so many points, as evidenced tonight. And plenty other times.

    It’s like the Rockets didn’t do any scouting report. The Bucks are really good defending the paint, so why keep force feeding the ball to Capela all game?

    This may have been a different game if MDA leaves Harden in the game to end the 3rd qtr. and rest him to start the 4th.

    With Gordon and Paul out and they only win by 6? I dont think they will say that. They'd have to be stupid.
