    Harden took 12 shots. Terrible. And Westbrook, our worst shooter, took 3 more shots than Harden when he was having a horrible shooting night. The recipe is flawed. And neither of stars seem to get it despite losing each time they do this.

    i mentally checked out after the first qtr so i'm kinda numb to the loss tbh.

    outside of just how bad russ was, im kinda just pleased at how we took their best shot and just threw it back at them. we might be the underdogs but this is a very winnable series for us.

    Yes he was Space...so one would wonder why he only took 12 shots ? Double team ? Do we want to count how many times AD and LouBron were doubled ? Underutilization and coaching.

    You must be forgetting that our coach struggles with in game adjustments.

    Refs aside, we missed some really good shots and Westbrook was a negative. I don’t think Davis can maintain that kind of production with Tucker banging on him. Could of won but no reason to be overly negative. We have a great shot to win this series.

    I agree Harden probably was frustrated with WB which lead to his disinterest down the stretch.

    Westbrook was absolute ass. He needs to play better and attack the ****ing basket. I don't even mind him stepping in to the mid range shot. It sucks that this was a winnable game and we couldn't over come how bad he played.

    Westbrook needs to STOP shooting ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!
    He is a terrible shooter and I put this loss on him.

    Rockets had the shooting game of their lives in the first three quarters.

    This isn't just WB just needs to play average to grab wins in this series. This was the one game WB could at worst play average and win. If WB doesn't show up and have above average games then he is in that awkward zone where he becomes a liability for us even though his stats may not end up looking that awful.

    One star was off the the other only shot the ball 12 times. 12 times in a playoff game. Your not going to beat LA when AD scores 30 on 62% shooting and LBJ gets close to 30 with your star only shooting the ball 12 times.

    It was a shootout in the 2nd and 3rd.

    Bricks in the 4th and LA took control of the boards.

    Tucker and Gordon kept the ship afloat.

    Sagged off Russ who can't shoot to save his 5 foul life.

    No way Tilman accepts this Westbrook experiment.

    Wow though...we let this one get away. What a 2-0 lead would have meant after them leading by like 21 at one time ....the damage to their psyche.

    Wasn't able to watch tonight, but Foster was officiatig so whatever. 17 turnovers is hard to overcome for us. 21 fouls? Dayum. It seems like if we didn't have a shtty 1st quarter then we would've won.

    Seriously Westbrook will probably put up 30 points 11 assists 10 boards the next game... that’s who he is. Either pathetic or really good

    Except for Westbrook, the starters did well. But the bench needs to do better next game. 13pts all by House will not get it done.
