    Imagine benching your second best player by a mile and playing him only 17 minutes in game 3 that you could’ve easily won. Be nice to have that game back now?

    If we lose the series and d’antoni is gone that would’ve been the genius move that led to it.

    It means Harden's talent level is above everyone, doesn't mean role players aren't helping within their limitations.

    I think it is unfair night in and night out to accuse the team of that.

    Tucker is literally getting murdered, suffering crotch hits and hits of other kinds.

    Not putting the ball in Hardens hands the last two possessions leading to an air ball and turnover comes a close second though.

    Ehh...can't hurt any worse than in prior years. Least that's what I tell myself. Battered fan syndrome.

    Okay people, we will have plenty of time to nitpick and complain if in fact tomorrow is our last game. We have one beautiful moment before the anxiety from Game 7 starts. Let's consume ourselves in irrational optimism because in our best case scenario, we won't have a chance to feel like this about the Rockets for a while.

    I'm counting on these mother******* of being more angry about the journalists laughing out today than tired of being secluded.
    I hope that organizational pride primes over everything else and become a source of adrenaline for everyone down there tomorrow.
    Let's think about how we play when we play with urgency and compare to our game 6, where we did not show up any of that.
    And let's have that mixed up by our own James Harden, this may be our last chance with this roster, hope everyone understands that and fight to keep it away.

    No. That’s not what the chart says.

    It means our role players other than a decent positive Covington, very slightly positive Green and House, have been negatives on the floor for us.

    Gordon, Tucker, Westbrook aren’t supposed to be net negative players. Ben Mac and Rivers are rotation pieces that shouldn’t surprise us to be in the negative, but are negative nonetheless.

    The help has been bad.

    Might be happy to see Scott Foster for once, but I honestly have no idea.

    So still ready to pounce on RoCo and let Rivers get off scott free? I cringe every time there's an MDA quote as if he has zero to do with the outcome of a game. They just have to perform...come on man, he cannot believe that, can he?!

    If someone forced me to choose I’d take OKC.


    I’m not sure this game will even be close

    YUP. I would start Bmac all day over Gordon, and maybe EG eventually gets more minutes, but Bmac works great next to Harden, is our best 3pt shooter, and if he sucks we can sit him. EG is playing so horribly on the offensive end that even if he is a better defender than Bmac he is still a detriment to the team out there, ugh.

    This is the worst. This is Dwayne Wade vs the Mavs territory.
