    The Rockets are 3-13 at the foul line. The refs are probably doing us a favor keeping us off of there.

    And besides, if Harden wants to get to the foul line, THEN ATTACK THE DAMN BASKET!!! He stands there with Redick or Rivers on him and does nothing.

    Just keep playing hard. That's all we ask.

    You're professional athletes. Do your job, win or lose.

    You've clearly lost your mind. This defense would make me lose my mind too. Jordan has 28 ft attempts and we have been fouling him intentionally

    The whole team is in foul trouble and we are down by 6.
    See you next season guys.
    The most important off season upgrade is the COACH.

    OMG-Rockets could not pass, rebound, hit a 3, dunk NOTHING. That was the ugliest close to a quarter in the hisory of the NBA.

    Yet, down by 6. Could have been 3, but see above reg. the "can't hit a 3".

    Harden needs to stop it with the step back J, stop dribbling, stop holding the ball, stop passing and DRIVE to the hole:mad:

    Hardin is three of seven. Howard is a big pile of s$$t also. Apparently having an insatiable need to put the ball in the bucket does not exist with these two tonight

    The Clippers are averaging roughly 1.3 points per non hack-a-Jordan possession. That's like historically bad defense. On hack-a-Jordan possessions they are averaging 0.71 points per possession. The hack-a-Jordan is working.

    I think we're the laughing stock of the whole league. I still can't get over how our backup C has 4 fouls. Common sense would tell our coaching staff to foul with players that a) don't play a lot of mins b) players that know how to use their fouls.

    Just wait till we have no players left due to this hacking and Doc turns to hacking Howard and Smith (maybe even Brewer at this point), who have gone 1-11 in the first half from the foul line.

    9% from the foul line from players not named Harden, who is only 2-2.

    We are lucky to be down by 6. Our defense would have given up 70+ if not for us wasting the Clipper's possessions.
