    If the Rockets are behind in free throws and 3 pointers made, it's tough to win.

    I swear, is Westbrook the only one who can make a layup. Everyone else gets blocked half the time.

    Harden is getting blocked left right center. Dude needs to shoot 3's or floaters only.

    That’s why you don’t talk. He gave ESPN, twitter and everyone what they wanted. You let your play talk. Plain and simple.

    westbrook's threat of having a mid range jumper and the willingness to pull up with the mid range jumper anytime makes him a nightmare when he's slashing.

    the celtics are predicting harden's drives because they know he wont pull up.

    that's why he's getting blocked so much and getting so much charges.

    To be down only 11 feel merciful because that was a bad half. Earlier in the year this would’ve been a 20 pt game.

    This is a revenge game for the Celtics. They want it more right now.

    yea we losing this game

    also important to note, Celtics are slowing the game down like a playoff game

    we look bad on halfcourt sets when the game is slowed down

    Rockets need to fix this immediately

    also Harden has definitely lost a step and a bounce

    Exactly. Ironically I'd rather see a step back 3 or midrange shot from Harden in that situation.

    BOS playing good defense tonight. If they weren't so-so on offense, it may be a blow out. Down by 11, need to come better after the half.

    All these guys are clogging paint and meeting Russ and harden. The perimter shooters need to get open and hit some shots

    Refs/nba sending a message to Houston that harden can't talk **** about their darling Greek boy with those offensive fouls.

    Rather see what Demarre, Thabo and Bruno can give us.

    Role players sucked hard in first half. No one except Rivers did anything.
