    Adams is probably out for game 4 which means OKC will be forced to play the lineup that plays best against the Rockets.. this is not good.

    i have never heard an announcer try to get a call on a team like doris at the end of regulation. she literally begged them to get javie, then he said it was a foul on cp3 (he's javie, he always agrees with the call), then she basically asked for a second opinion and asked if there were any interpretation of the rules that could possibly get them to call a foul on harden (which would have fouled him out).

    This f***** CRIES WHEN HE DRIVES TO THE BUCKET UNTOUCHED! No one even touched him and he thinks he got fouled and he doesnt get back on defense. What a D sucker.

    Adams desperately diving to save it should have been a clue. Was obvious to everyone except the refs and Doris that it was out off him

    Dort on Harden is officially a problem.

    The past 3 games vs. Dort, Harden is shooting like 0.000000000000000001% from 3 on Dort. Now Harden can't even get by his big ass. He's exerting so much energy to just get by him. Most of Harden's points were on guys like Schroder.

    "Offensive Genius" Mike D'antoni has to find a way to get him off Harden.

    Rick Carlisle has found ways to get Kawhi and PG off Luka, and D'antoni even found ways to get Harden on Curry in those Warriors series.

    This loss is on Daniel House.

    - Had a bad defense read which led to a crucial 3 pointer
    - Missed second free throw to retake the lead
    - Missed a rebound which led to Daniel Gallinari free throws

    The refs set the momentum. Once the foul counts was up, team's defense intensity became limited. OKC then ended more points in the paint. They needed OT and the Refs to beat us.

    Doris was all happy that there was overtime, until she saw Harden fouled out, no more CP3/Dort v. Harden matchup. No harden in OT, less TV ratings.

    Anyone else feeling numb.

    Yes. That was stupid. There were two guys on Paul already. Shai was wide open.

    The bias was coming out of every pore.

    She was so frustrated when Javie did not agree with her.

    Rockets up 2.

    Danuel House helps off SGA to contest a CP3 drive (where Jeff Green was already there to contest BTW) and they give up a wide open 3 to SGA.

    THIS IS POOR SITUATIONAL COACHING. THIS IS LACK OF SMALL DETAILS.

    This looses playoff games and championships.

    So....even sweeping this oklahoma city team shouldn't be heralded as amazing if a team truly wants to contend for a championship. The level of play tonight was not good enough to beat any true contenders. That being said, its 1 game without WB. WB wouldn't have let this happen.

    Really frustrating. To my amateur eyes, some coaching mistakes and mistakes by individual players. But also the downside of variance haunting us on three-point shooting. This is how I thought the whole series would be, so I'm still happy overall. After seeing the first two games, I believe the Rockets will right the ship.
