    Overall I like the fight in the end but that poor shooting outside of Harden is a worry.

    some scrub has taken over EG’s body while the real EG is trapped in some magical bottle somewhere

    this dude has been a joke all season

    I didn’t view this game as anything more than to let Gordon and rob find their shot and work on a few more wrinkles in the offense and defensive schemes
    I view the Frazier minutes as Gordon and westbrick are hurt and he covers a god forbid scenario

    Carroll is trash
    Green is god
    pj is washed but brings it on defense

    obviously house and mclemore are gonna have to show up big

    rivers is a bright spot who looks like he will be consistently relied on

    seems like per usual James will have to carry the team

    that fight at the end was just harden trying to take over as usual

    MDA will easily play 9 players in the coming playoffs. Well that's when injured WB comes back, whenever that is

    The 7-8 man rotation is such fake news and quite old. There's only 1 team that he was forced to do that with. They're no longer around. Every other playoff series MDA goes at least 9. Why that needs to keep being repeated is just puzzling for anyone that follows this team on a consistent basis

    Anyone else truly feel that Clemons deserves time over Frazier and Carroll? He gives energy on defense, doesn't back down from big guys and truly can shoot the 3.

    Westbrook's performance against San Antonio was disappointing, but the team as constructed needs him.

    Exactly, a 3 at the beginning of the game is not the same as a 3 at the end. Harden could kill teams from mid-range in the playoffs when legs are tired.

    EG playing like trash but EG always seems to quietly bring it in the playoffs.

    I'm starting to feel okay with playing OKC, the games the Rockets lost against OKC weren't the micro ball Rockets.

    Cp3 is going to dominate us though. If CP3 beats the Rockets in the first round, I'm putting my fandom on the shelf for a couple years. The embarrassment that will be felt would be immeasurable.

    Rockets have all the pressure to win.

    tucker & westbrook injured

    ego looks like a mess

    zebras going to go all out to avert the risk of houston taking out the fakers

    gotta feel for harden. he stands alone every season. whether it's the idiocy of mchale, the recalcitrance of dwight, a hamstring, a quad, a 7man playoff rotation, the cheapest owner in sports, silver's crooked zebras, etc etc etc

    harden gets doubled creating wide open shot after wide shot and no one able to help him... 0-27

    harden is walking proof that there truly is a thing called luck

    The shooting slump is whatever, but jacking up a shot a minute and 6 turnovers in 20 minutes is so bad it looks like Gordon was intentionally throwing the game.

    Am not too upset with this loss. More of a practice game. Came down to a bucket or two.

    Harden with a quiet big game.

    deserves is too strong a word...he shouldn’t be on the court at all for a team trying to win a title, especially in a playoffs setting

    In meaningless end of regular season games where guys are just getting shots up and not trying to get injured? Sure, I guess
