    You know he was injured for a few games. Who knows why Bzdelik didn't play him tonight.

    Is he a key guy? We're 11-1 in the last dozen games he's played.

    Whether this team is a championship caliber team doesn't hinge on a 1 point lose to a very good team playing at home.

    It's a disappointing loss, and the Rockets did blow a nice lead but they made tough shots.

    Exactly. The odds of Westbrook actually hitting a clutch 3 in the last half-minute are low. He's notorious for bricking shots in the clutch, and has only hit .300+ from 3pts once in the last five seasons. He's a BAD 3-point shooter by current NBA standards.

    So the Thunder his a couple of huge shots on their home court and we played poorly in the 4th.

    This wasn't a playoff game. The next one will be, and that's the one that actually matters.

    Go cry somewhere else. Big boy basketball starts in postseason and no way a team, even GSW, can beat Rockets in 7 games.

    The only ones not mentally tough are some of the more vocal whiny fans.

    Rockets will be fine.

    I agree he is key, I don't know why we keep running out there a dinosaur in Nene when he can't run, can't jump and is barely an NBA player anymore.

    I'm not that upset over Harden's missed FT. He was 12/13, which is better than his average. I'm more upset that Capela missed a bunny shot that he tried to bank in instead of dunking it.

    Give me a break. He missed 1 free throw out of 13. He was bound to miss one. This is just an excuse for people to pin this loss on Harden, when in fact he's not the reason we lost this tonight. We was still up by 2 points with 9 seconds to go. We should have defended the 3 much better by the end. Tucker was literally ball watching and left George to hit a wide open corner 3. I would rather he just stood right on him and give the 2 pointer away. We would have at least a couple of seconds and 2 timeouts to win the game with a 2 or 3..... or we could have won it in overtime.

    Yeah, screw fans that are passionate and give a **** and use this area to vent their frustration, they aren't real fans.

    LOL - WTF ever.....just ignore them/us.....not everyone is all happy ass fans......some of us are critical but that doesn't make us bleed any less when they lose, we are just not afraid to talk about it and to criticize the team and air our frustrations.

    b****ing about other fans is so 1970s.......get some thicker skin - snowflake.

    Why am I not surprised that Gordon decides to go cold in a huge game

    And he was playing like an MVP in the first 3 quarters. Yeah, he was off in the 4th quarter... but Gordon had a much worse 4th quarter.

    The Irony is that the Rockets have been so inconsistent in the past that all it took could be 16 wins.

    The team is so dangerous that it could go on a hot streak or a cold streak or anything between it.

    If it was 20-30 wins, it would be impossible.

    We have just as much of a chance as any team. We were robbed last season and our playoff roster has improved

    LOL - dude, you do you and I will do me....we can both be Rocket fans and cheer on the team in our own way.

    Questioning fan hood as a transference for being upset is silly......give people space to be pissed off that the team flat out CHOKED away the 2nd seed, that is a big deal.
