    They said since the offseason number 1 seed was their goal, they didn’t say that last off season but got it. They are lucky that warriors look more volunerable at home this season but hope they don’t gel. Any other team we can beat easily when on top of our game. Warriors is when we need homecourt

    I looked up remaining SOS and thunder have worst, warriors and nuggets are up there top 5 or 7. And rockets are like at 13. Of course SOS is relative to how other teams have played in the past so it changes

    Disappointing outcome but at least Harden extended his 30-point streak.

    He's been carrying an extra heavy load for weeks.

    Get healthy soon Gordon and Paul.

    If we don't get one of the top 3 seeds, we will not win squat.

    The chances of Paul being injured is greater than Rockets losing while healthy.

    Enjoy the 65 wins last season and hope we stay healthy this season.

    Am I reading the box right? 1-17 from 3? Weary legs or bad shots?

    Really disappointing outcome, but honestly w/o Paul & Gordon I am surprised we win much at all. This team spoiled me last year, and sht like this is annoying, but I guess we're in a better spot than we deserve to be considering the beginning of the season.

    Did Harden set record for most 3PM in a game ?!??

    Perhaps lowest 3PT% save 0%

    D’antoni saying we can’t rely on Harden all the time but Harden is the one that wanted to be superman and shot the team out of the game. There were other players like Rivers and House that we’re playing well that should have gotten the ball more. Just like the Blazers game Rivers was hot but didn’t get the ball enough down the stretch.

    Bad day for the Rivers family. Both Austin and Philip had bad losses.

    Damon Stoudamire went 5–21 from 3’s in 2002 or 2003. So I guess that matches Hardens?


    Also Klay went 2–11 from 3 tonight... but nobody will talk about that since Curry went 11–19 from 3. We don’t have the luxury if Harden doesn’t play well then we can easily get 30 from another guy.

    Rockets were up 10 with 5:00 to go.

    Loss had nothing to do with injuries to those players

    Man, a good medical staff-- one that Tillman cannot afford to pay-- would quickly replace Capela's finger with Chriss's, but instead will just tell him that if Green can go without a finger, so can you.

    did I make you laugh?

    Really you don't think if Harden didn't have to carry us for the past 15 games, he might have fresher legs for his shot?

    You don't think we might have gotten more than 7 points and 4 turnovers from our bench.

    You don't think we might have had a bit more energy for defense.

    Sorry, but that is a stupid opinion.

    I had to leave the house halfway thru the third. So we’re just calling this the Harden hangover game right?? Because I’ve been in Orlando before on a Saturday night at a club with bottle service, and that night nor the next day were any fun at all. Nothing to see here
