    I should have stopped watching.
    We played a lot harder for some of this game than previous. But it’s worst cuz we did it to ourselves by starting the game just like all the other games. So nonchalant. Harden being too passive. Everyone else useless. Down 20. Lakers role players gain so much confidence. THEN we start increasing the intensity.

    I never have gotten so mad...at a shot going in. When I see Harden hit an effortless mid range...it's just more frustrating than anything because it's just so easy for him.

    Honestly this was one reason I wasn’t upset two weeks ago when things shut down for a couple of days

    It's not Harden's fault.

    It's not because we are missing House.

    Lakers just have the better players and the better coach.

    Westbrook should have just stayed hurt.

    Lakers have been giving us Midrange ALL series long and we just don't do it. It's maddening, we could shoot easier threes if we forced the Lakers to defend the entire court.

    I'm done with gimmick ball.

    It's really fun watching professional basketball players hit open 3's. Unfortunately it's never the Rockets.

    This team needs to be torn down to the ground and rebuilt. Try to run it back one year with WB and Harden and Tucker cause what else can you do. Everyone else though, needs to go. Trade EG for Aldridge or Horford if you can. Don’t know if either team will want him with the shitty way he’s been playing. Trade House, renounce the rights to everyone else. Try and bring in bigs and shooters. MDA needs to go. His in game adjustments are non-existent. He sticks to his guns on his bench no matter what. He keeps his bench too short. There are some really great FA available this offseason as well.

    Jamychal Green
    Christian Woods
    Jerami Grant
    Bogdan Bogdanovic
    Marco Belinelli
    Joe Harris
    Serge Ibaka

    Harden needed. Face the fact that" style of Harden will never get us a champion --- from Kobe24.
    Arn't you sick of the way how Harden walks up the ball and standing still while off the ball?

    It's embarrassing how we are exiting the playoffs. Slap in the face to Houston period. Heads should roll.

    LOL thats great, single game plus minus does not mean anything. We were losing ground before he went to the bench.
