    The problem is not he played bad. The problem is he did not want to play.

    You can't be out-rebounded by 20, miss 10 free throws and miss almost 20 3-pointers and expect to win. And by the way, Harden had an off night, too. The fact it was a 5 point game and we had a chance to tie it up with 12 seconds to go is somewhat encouraging.

    Tough loss though, have to rebound tomorrow at Utah.

    He was double teamed (like hard) when he had the ball and was constantly denied the ball by his defender as well as a leaking out ball hawk. Can't really do much about it.

    I wish I would have seen him shimmy and cut to the basket when those guys are literally hugging him though.

    I don't think the rockets are as good as their records may appear, especially again playoff teams.

    1 Harden have a bad game
    2 We still without Howard
    3 We shoot less and better that them on 3.

    4 Poor game-planning/coaching? Did coach plan them to miss so many Ft? Did they plan for Harden to suck ass in the second half, Did they plan to keep Howard on the bench and not help on the boards?

    We didn't do well after the long All-star break, we don't do well tonight after the 3-day break.

    Ok, I get it. Guys have bad games sometimes. It's a long season, he wasn't up for this one. He's human, maybe something else was on his mind maybe he just let his teammates take over and was too unselfish (again, a problem that is attributed to Lebron and Durant at times.) maybe.

    It wasn't game 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 of the playoffs. I know it sucks to lose tonight to Portland but it's not the end of the world, despite what people will say it's 1.5 games worth. Worth more than Utah game admittedly but it can be made up if the team gets focused and finish the season strong.

    We win this game if Beverley can hit an open shot.

    DMO needs to be with the 2nd unit when Howard returns. He cannot rebound at all. They had so many second chance shots.

    How about bringing back Capela and let him take Dorsey's minutes for a couple of games.

    To many free days for Harden to spend going to the stripclubs

    You think Harden didn't WANT to play against this Portland team on national T.V? We're you noticing the reactions? We're you noticing the constant double teams? He actually had a decent game just wasn't up to his standards.

    Ugh! If that Meyers kid hadn't hit back to back threes we would have won this game. That kept them in the game with Aldridge out. Why is it that guys who never shoot 3s start looking like Ray Allen for some reason when they play us?

    Yeah, when you put it that way I'm amazed it was as close as it was.

    Dorsey was the only one who could get an offensive rebound... Capela still built like marionette, not ready.
