    I'm not a blame the refs guy. Yes, there were some bad calls, but we didn't play well, we lost.

    Could ve avoided that OT by passing to Green only.

    Ignore Gordon, he is useless when his shot is off, makes silly decisions.

    Billy D ran circles around MDA in the last minutes.

    It was a lost cause when he fouled out for sure unless Rivers was going 40 again which was impossible.

    Yes.

    You could see the spin of the ball change as it brushed his fingertips. It should've been our ball. They gave it to OKC. I just dont understand.

    Harden better hit the ice bath and get an injection in that shoulder. Westbrook may need to come back sooner than later if we keep trotting Gordon out there. He needs to sit, period. No shots for Ben? No Luc either? I can't stand MDA...

    That was poor player execution you just cited.

    Poor coaching was the crappy inbounds play.

    so you dont blame the refs for 2018 game 6 and 7.. good luck watching the rockets winning a ring when harden has 5 fouls every game. thats how the blazers beat us in the bubble. The refs are targeting harden and your harden hate is too blind to see it

    Maybe too reliant on Gordon.

    I'm not blaming Harden. Clearly This loss isnt on him. He carried this team offensively as far as he could.
    Dan Tony, Gordon and House are to blame for this cluster of a mess.

    Conspiracy theory: If the Lakers were up 2-0 the officiating for this Rockets game would have been a bit different. No way you give extra rest to the Rockets over the Lakers .


    Sorry, I’ve had a few Dos X

    the coach has a hand in player execution.

    you hammer into them don't help off the shooters during the timeout.

    My biggest fear is that opposing coaches are watching footage of Dort with their chalkboards, while scouts in Samoa and Serbia are on standby.

    Yep. We can't expect to win shooting 30% from the arc. Even worse, when you are tied and can't muster up more than 3 points in the last 4 minutes it's not going to be a win against any team.

    It was so obvious. Its like the replay officials only looked at the first replay, but didn't look at the other angles that showed it was obvious that he touched it. They also turned the call around super fast.
