    Don't watch sports center tonight guys. I mean, I never watch after a rockets loss but with brewer scoring 51 it's gonna really be hard to swallow.

    I never understood the "deserve to lose" statement.

    Spurs won,

    that's the only good news today.

    At least we will have an easier game on Monday.

    The Spurs already have home court locked up all the way. They ain't losing to the Lakers in San Antonio next Wednesday. But that's irrelevant. They win even when they rest their players, so it's quite possible the Rockets won't clinch home court til the last game of the season. So Harden and Parsons can forget about resting down the stretch.

    McHale is gonna run our starters to the ground. The biggest thing he impacts is rotations and substitution and he can't do that for *****!

    Spurs will definitely rest against us. They have nothing to gain and playing their team and losing to us would give us the psychological edge.

    Only problem is Rockets aren't guaranteed to win against the Spurs bench anyway.

    Not with 4 seconds left on the clock. The ball might take a second to get to lin who will then have to force up a a shot within probably 2 seconds any ways if not one.

    Harden should not pass to Lin in that situation. Lin should really not be on the court. Shouldn't be on this team being paid like he is. He's a third string type player who shouldn't be counted on to make plays. Only when he has to. Harden did the right thing just didn't work out.

    I will give the benefit of the doubt to the best player on the team who just tied the game up with a three. Again, Lin was 3-10 with five turnovers and was getting beat like a rented mule on defense all night long.

    trust me, I know that Harden is clutch, but if there is only your trick, your strategy, you will get burn in the playoff, they all know, even the commentators said, houston will give the last touch to Harden... and that's not a positive sign

    Would've been nice to have Asik actually out there playing. This lolly-gagging before the playoffs is going to come back to bite us in the behind.

    Everyone on the team should take a viagra before the next game to ensure that they come out & play hard.

    Here, let me help you understand. When your lazy,lack of effort arse won't hustle and go to the floor for loose balls, you don't guard anyone, no energy, little effort...YOU DESERVE TO LOSE.

    That was embarrassing. Corey Brewer does not deserve props. The Rockets deserve to be chastised for that. Did they ever attempt to double team the guy once until there was a minute left in the game? And I don't count sending a player at him when he's already at the rim and fouling him.

    Look at the what the T'Wolves did to Harden all night. They basically said, you won't beat us, James. You may get your 30+ points, but someone else will have to step up. The Rockets could've easily taken the ball out of Brewer's hands at any point in the game and forced someone else to make a shot and they never did.
