    I think we can all be extremely happy that Chris Paul isn't playing. So damn sloppy.


    We are in for a wake up call If we don't wake up soon.

    That 2Q was disgusting. Against a healthy Clippers, the Rocks would be down by double digits.

    I was most annoyed by Josh Smith jacking up a 3 with nobody under the basket.

    oh wow and all in the first quarter........people pay way too much attention to turnovers here, we play a fast paced offence and there will be a lot of turnovers in that kind of system, get over it

    Harden needs to get more shots up.

    We got this Houston, just stop turning over the ball and be aggressive.

    Get them in foul trouble!!!

    As bad as we play sometimes it seems the other team plays just as bad or worse against us. So I'll take it for now I guess.

    Disappointing half. Just too sloppy, stupid turnovers?

    Ariza had 3 turnovers because he tried passes he has never did in his life. Behind the back? Really?

    Harden needs to be involved more. Wasn't really playing in the 2nd quarter, it seemed.

    Jones has to do something out there instead of eating basketball with all those weak lay up attempts.

    We must blow this game open in the next half. Can't keep this game close, anymore. Blow them out!

    This team has always not played well coming off extended time off. I believe they will play a better second half, get the rust off. Harden needs to take over in the second half.

    Rockets and McFail need to take a long look in the mirror. A team with a horrible pair of PGs, minus an all NBA pg, with 13 turnovers, and their starting SG doing nothing. And they are only down four.

    Rox were their own worst enemy in first half. This teams need a consistent starting pg bad. All these TOs are the result of not have a good floor general. Harden is a good play maker but is just too TO prone and careless with the ball.

    On track for 8 turnovers in the game. You blindly defend Harden every game.

    Perhaps the sloppiest play off half I have ever seen. Actually embarrassing for both teams. Could we see some "NBA" basketball in the second half? I have seen enough city/recreational/church league play. Good grief, that was awful.

    The Rockets have been in hibernation for a long time. They still haven't worked out how to avoid what happened in the 2Q.
