    This is why the rockets HAD to keep shooting 3s in that game 7 last year.

    People keep saying “they missed 27 straight 3s, why not go to the basket”

    Well, when the refs let you get murdered at the rim, what else can you do?

    I agree to an extent. However, that floater is a huge weapon against Gobert, and if Gobert is allowed to jump -into- Harden instead of going straight up and down, then that's a problem and the refs have to call that.

    Your best bet to win is guarding Harden straight up and praying he misses. The alternative the Jazz are doing right now are just leaving his teammates wide open lmao. I'm not complaining, but it just seems incredibly stupid to assume Harden won't pass.

    Harden was wincing in pain on one of those possesions on defense. The jazz are beating him up

    the refs need to take control of this game

    The Rockets need a pure shooter in the worst way. Too many streaky shooters for a team that loves to shoot threes. Unfortunately the Rockets have no money, so that’s that.

    House needs to go back to his poofy hair. Things were working better for him back then.

    refs are gonna make Harden’s field goal percentage decline and then casuals will be talking about how he’s inefficient tomorrow...

    Officials been trash. They’re lucky D House hasn’t been hitting those open 3s he normally does or we’d be killing em

    Yeah, it's strange. I always felt the best way to guard Harden was just to be extremely physical with him when he had the ball and when he didn't...but they are inviting him to drive each and every time.

    Horrible calls, but we are doing the right thing and just playing. Gordon, CP3, Harden, Clint look like they're clicking on offense. Our team defense understands who and when to trap.

    Utah has played excellent defense and I'm not sure they can keep it up. Keep it up Rockets

    And even when you shot a 3 they fouled or they take a 3 off the board when you actually make 1.
