    They finally showed some urgency and energy in the 3rd....

    But EVERY time we hit a three, they'd come right back and hit a wide open one.

    We had NO answer for the quick dribble up the court to the arc and then pass to the cutting man up top....they did that to us over and over and over.

    That’s the problem. The urgency came too late.

    Rockets embarrassed themselves tonight. Team should be disbanded.

    D'antoni needs to go.

    Yeah, after this series, he killed what value he might have had. Two of our biggest mistakes....Capela $70 mil and CP3 $160....NOBODY wants any part of that action.

    I’m so confused by this bored. This team lost the series because of a failure of defense. You never gonna beat one of the best offensive teams assembled even before a Durant got there in shootouts. You have to rebound and defend.

    Personally, Clint’s stings more. We knew Paul was due to decline. But who say this coming from Clint?

    I thought the biggest turning point of the game was the Rockets being up 7, forcing a turnover and having a 3 on 1 fast break and blowing it. I think Tucker had a wide open 3 but passed it up for some reason. Warriors come back and Iggy makes a 3, so a potential 10 point lead is just 4.

    This loss goes right up there with some of the worst in recent Rockets history. Just embarrassing on every level

    honestly i'm not sure there's a bigger loss in our recent history than this. this was the series we were clamoring for all year, we made no apologies that every little thing we've done over the last few years was for one reason and one reason only - beating the warriors. we blamed last year's loss and the loss in game 1 on the refs, made a point to try and prove to everyone that we were in fact the better team but got screwed. then we were gifted an injury to KD and expectations went through the roof. at that exact second, we were doomed.

    now we have serious questions about how this team moves forward and really if it even can given the massive constraints we face. the confidence in the coaches and players that we just committed gobs of money to has completely evaporated. who knows how or even if we can right the ship.

    I feel like we're living in the perspective of a villain of a cartoon superhero tv show. Nobody likes us and we're hopelessly inept at beating the good guys.

    Morey is back in his lab like "I'll get you next time, GSW!". We devise a new plan, but something eventually goes horribly wrong and we lose. Everyone celebrates our defeat since we're so disliked.

    The next year, Morey comes up with a new plan. Rinse and repeat.

    We are the villans. The entire NBA fanbase and media call the Warriors "the beautiful brand of basketball".

    Sometimes you jut got to admit they are better then us when it’s go time because they have that championship mentality while we don’t. p*****s like Clint need to be traded

    I know Paul had a good third but he was a no show again in the fourth because he gave all he had and had nothing left. That contract can’t be moved. Clint needs to go and probaly in a package with Eric for a legit all star.Clint is young and teams will take his deal

    No Boogie, Durant, Steph scoreless at half with foul trouble. CP making big plays to create separation in fourth. Up 7 in fourth..... no ****ing excuse just as missing 27 straight and facing Kawhi less spurs. Harden is done as a franchise player, hes just another Westbrook but without his motor

    Is this the most embarrassing postseason defeat in franchise history? Certainly the most high profile loss.
