Perkins hold on Parsons no call and Durant's lucky 3... Just two plays and Hou is up 2-1 with WB out. Not bad for an 8 vs 1. I think this is a testament to this team, their resiliency, and their bright future.
Sorry, but its hard for me to feel proud right now, even if we're an 8th seed. If we play a solid game and just lose to a better team, fine. But our bumbling and fumbling to end this game just put me in a bad mood.
yep two lucky bounces, two different plays, and Houston would be 2-1. So im impressed, how the rockets being the 8th seed, still are competing against the best team of the West
We talk about OKC fans being homers but how are we any different. We are down 3-0 and you think if two plays had ended differently we would be winning this series? Okay.
While that's true, you still can't deny the Rockets have made serious errors down the stretches in games 2&3. We're down 0-3 because of sloppy play.
or it shows an OKC team that's not firing on all cylinders yet, remember last year's Miami and Indy series? Indy actually went up 2-1 and were right in it at till the last couple of minutes for some of the games that they lost.
As odd as the game went, there was a lot of unconventional things going on, inexplicably stifling defense in 2nd half and a disastrous 1st half Rockets probably shoulda have been won game going away.
This. We've seen that late game nonsense so many times and have just put it off to "They're young." Its getting old now, highschool JV teams execute better. Instead of passing the ball around they pull up for aquick 3 when they should be running the clock...pass to Omer all the way at the top of the key which gets picked off about 1/2 the time and hold on to the ball too long. Inexcusable. Give these boys a good old fashioned paddling to get their asses on the right page.
That play where Harden dribbled in one spot for 10 seconds, not making a move, then no look passing to the front row was awful. I hate when he does that! That's not how you win games and frankly that play took the life out of me as a fan.
Harden has not been making play lately. I don't know what happened to him. There were many times when he ISOed, he just dribbled out the clock and then PASS IT! He didn't even try to make a move, draw the defense and kick out to someone. No he just passed it with just a few seconds left to someone else (usually Lin) who was NOT open.
Harden's overthinking that his old team knows his game inside out and pulling off some unnatural or miracle plays to prove himself.
He had plenty of great plays too, calm down he will learn to handle it. Remember LeBron was "the worst ever in the last minute"? Just a matter of experience.
