    Proof that Rockets need to add more shooting defense, length and athleticism to the bench.

    Especially youth.

    outrebounded by 12, but won the turnover battle convincingly

    Jazz shot really well...patiently waiting for Harden’s next hot streak from three

    this team is a lot more fun to watch after trading Capela...I was entertained

    about to finish this green tea and then go walk my dogs...it is what it is tonight

    Only a regular season game, not a postseason game. We win, if we go to the FT line more often. I remember when Rockets opponents put big guys outside the 3 to guard against something like this. Like Tyson, or Hart guy to guard the perimeter. Chalk another lesson to winning.

    man... fluke game. jazz were making all sorts of crazy tough shots to keep themselves within striking distance... and that buzzer beater. for the most part rockets defense was outstanding except for midway thru the 4th when they kept letting conley get into the lane. hope the team doesn't get too discouraged because if they play defense like they did today, even with so-so offense, that would be a blowout in the first half against most teams on an average night.

    Congrats to Harden on another beautiful 3 point shooting performance. Love when he plays to his strengths.

    I envy you if you can find anything to be positive about with this team.

    No height
    No defense
    Awful 3 point shooters
    Awful 3 point percentage
    Superstar is MIA
    The other superstar is a turnstile on D
    No real depth

    Not impressed by the Jazz and feel confident if the Rox meet them again in the playoffs but the bench has to be better. Gordon probably makes a difference if he was able to go. Harden continues to play sub par imo. Poor choices down the stretch by him.

    Couldn’t say the same about the Bjelica shot but this one was lucky AF. The defense was fine on the last play.

    When we were down 7 I wasn’t sure we could fight our way back but we did. So at the very least the Rockets played with heart today.

    no moral victories in the NBA though. I’d like to face the Jazz in the playoffs regardless.

    yeah when you get 2 up-by-2-buzzer-beating-3's against you in one season, one of which the guy just chucked up against 2 people and may have even been fouled, to go with everything else, it's hard to argue otherwise. both buzzer beating 3's were maybe 25% shots (i'd put this one at 10-15%). and they both went in. the good news is we are so far only cursed in the regular season and we continue to play well against good teams so maybe this team outperforms in the playoffs (or loses in the 1st round).

    Be nice if a ****ing team could miss a prayer buzzer beater against us. I would like that. Bullshit lucky ass shots always go in against us.

    I'd like this post as I agree with it but I just can't bring myself too.

    They deserve this fat L. Another buzzer beater 3 for the loss. **** TI$$man for being a POS cheap b*stard & blessing us with this scrap-heap roster, **** Dantoni for his garbage 8 man rotation & not playing Hartenstein, and Harden can also GTFO with his 2 dozen bricked 3's. This is all an accumulation of terrible decisions from the owner, front office, coach & star player.
