    I would give up too honestly. Refs have clearly been given an order to keep the rockets out of the playoffs after game one. They eliminated our best role player that wouldn’t draw attention.

    The LeBron fix is in. Let’s pack it up. We should have known better than to go against LA movie money. There is a reason LeBron left Cleveland. He was tired of fighting an uphill battle. Time to reshape the roster, and have 20 more years of promoting LA and other big media markets.

    Looking forward to the dumbasses posting all night.

    Harden does NOT want the ball...UNREAL...pass with 3 secs left. He DOESN'T want the ball. Say what you want ...I know what I'm seeing. We have 2 highly paid stars and 12 stiffs and 1 cheerleader. I'm a big Jimmy fan but can't excuse this play. I know double team....give me a break. Not the 1st time he's been doubled. If all you have to do is double him (even at mid court) to win. we are in deep dung. PITIFUL !!

    Well, the most direct thing is get steals and get in transition.

    complete and total indifference.
    no point denying it, harden is not an alpha. we've seen this too many times.

    cant win with a player that lets kuzma run free on a layup during an elimination game as your main guy. harden is great but he aint that special type of great.

    I’ll say it again this strategy works over a season but in a playoff series where you see the opponent over and over again you need to be ready to change stuff up. It took Vogel and the Lakers one game. OKC almost figure it out.

    Remember when Harden used to drive, have the defense collapse on him only to watch a lob go up and a giant Swiss dude throw one down on their heads?

    Morey looking real smart for deciding that was what was wrong with this team.

    I miss centers and I miss alley oops

    I just want the rockets mid game to just start taking 2 point shots. Imagine how much that would mind**** the Lakers?

    House deserves to be cut.

    Put people in danger while
    Cheating on his wife.

    He’s also not accountable.

    he wasn’t with his play in year one and his mentality in year 2. You can’t count on him.
