    4 of the 5 starters were negative on +/-....only Sengun was +4. On the other hand, the 3 bench players were all +...+16 (Adams),+6 (Bari) and +3 (Tari).Let that soak in.....the same starters that got us in a hole early on also....gave up a 7 pt. half time lead in like a little over a minute. ..and an 18-1 run to be down 10 in like 4 or 5 mins.

    TOTALLY agree on Donkey not getting a 6th foul. Wasn't happening. Truthfully, Amen should be coming off the bench..the rotations work better that way. And TNT guys are right ...you can't have JG score 7,8 and 9 respectively. We had 13 TO to their 8.and were 19-31 FT.

    James Harden could’ve been our offensive coordinator, but no, we didn’t need him and he would’ve hindered Jalen, Sengun, and Jabari’s development

    Game 5 is going to be fun, if nothing else. Pressure is off--win or go home.

    I'm so ****ing tired of the Warriors. I'm tired of Jalen playing badly.

    I'm tired of missing ****ING FREE THROWS.

    But I can't help but to want to see the Rockets keep playing, as frustrating as it is. I'll see yall in the next game. Hopefully we'll have a lot more to cheer for.

    Tari also made a bad foul and gave up FTs. A defensive team can't make those mistakes

    Kerr is a good coach. But, the concept of pandering to the refs in the NBA is garbage for a professional sports league. It’s why so many think the league is rigged.

    Lol, you're not adding any new insights here!! This is the life of a Houston sports fan! "Almost" is pretty much a victory!! Or at least it makes it that much better when it finally happens!

    Kerr probably has had one of the most punchable faces in sports (as both a player and coach), I mean Jordan punched him and they were on the same team :)

    This is even beyond that though, this is the opposing coach saying your coach made the right move in benching you. This is beyond disrespectful lol.

    Yeah, he really needs a soul searching moment for himself, all they are doing is shading him. I agree with Chuck tonight, having only 8 shots says everything about him, scared. Just terrified of doing anything and content of just being another guy out there.

    When FVV can play like **** for 3 games and not get benched and DB can make stupid fouls and not get benched but you know if you miss a couple shots in a row you getting benched - it must really suck

    Yeah that one play cost us the game and not us missing 12 FT, Ime getting out-coached or Jalen playing like a b**** again. Yet you’re blaming Dillion JFC shut up.

    He only get 8 shots cause we have no offense to get him any easy looks - we don’t even run the spread offense with Adams at C for him no more, cause Ime is trying to keep Amen in the game on Curry

    Well I’m hopeful we win the next one in H town and prolong the series

    This just can’t end on Wed

    But we need to develop Reed and get a star player.

    From now on if you can’t hit 3 s or free.s you don’t join the team.

    People you shouldn't be mad at

    Sengun
    Fred
    Dillon
    Jabari
    Stephen
    Tari
    Amen


    Kill green all you want .

    We had seven guys . GS had curry , butler , Draymond , refs , and podiemszki can shoot and is allowed to commit murder.

    We were close

    Sengun definitely had an inefficient night . But he played his ass off defensively and was aggressive. I wish Jalen took 10 of his shots by being aggressive, but he wasn't mentally there tonight.

    Needed Tate.

    Ime could have given Holliday or Reed a try , but the game was close even with GS massive shooting run

    We missed open shots .

    All there is to it , we played well enough to win

    What do we think of that bogus foul call at the end?

    What a lazy
    Appreciate your positive altitude. Problem is we have a coach who don't have a clue about offense. There is no fix for that.

    Throw out the kitchen sink for Game 5.

    Play everybody

    Do something different for the starting lineup

    Intentionally injure as many Warriors as possible

    Who gives a rip about fouls?
