    Dude was clearly hurting. Def agree that he had some bonehead mistakes but he wasn't 100%.

    Tough tough tough loss. That insane durant 3, ibakas under the basket shot... Just tough.

    No question they played hard, but Harden faltered at the end, and that was a dumb ass pass by Parsons to Asik also. A lucky ass shot by KD. So close, yet so far.

    I think Morey's perspective is more analytical. As the best free throw shooting team in the NBA, they're statistically more likely to win their close games.

    It's funny how everyone is blaming this on Harden. Dude goes for 30/8/6 and he "single handidly" lost us the game.

    He made two bone headed plays down the stretch. But so did Garcia and Parsons, along with the rest of the Rockets. We do not have any experience worth a damn in the playoffs.

    on the bright side, if we miraculously win the next game, every game after that will be a bit easier. No way Durant can run the offense 100% of the time every game for 48 minutes. He'll get weary.

    IMO, you show heart and fight if you don't go down by 26 against a team without his second(?) best player

    Gotta learn how to win. Every young team has to go through this. They showed some fight. Can't wait til we get another player to play with harden. We need options.
