    Absolutely...hope he actually contributes something before the game is up. So far he can't block out for a rebound, can't hit a shot and he DAMN sure can't pass.

    Rockets are by FAR the dumbest team I've ever witnessed. I'm serious too

    Curry's gonna be fine. Don't fall for the trap. ;)

    Yeah.. might get lucky cause of slide, but that was pretty scary... I know announcers talking up curry being fine, but he's playing like he's human

    We've got to handle the ball better the 2nd half. Beasley needs to take over D-mo's minutes. He's been turning over the ball during crucial moments

    Harden playing the entire game? Hope he doesn't completely wear down in the 4th quarter.

    D-Mo is playing as if the game is a bit too fast for him and he wants to make plays to make sure he gets court time. Basically it is a sign of him not having his timing and getting back into the flow the game. Just need to tell him to calm down and play in the flow.

    Harden has been doing the same thing at times with some of his passes, so it not just D-Mo

    I am honestly pretty pleased with that first half. Tie game and Curry looking tender. Can we defend home court for 24 min? Take this back to Cali 2-2, give the fan base something.

    Dmo's defense was so smart and the pass afterwards was so dumb.

    More than anything, this team needs to settle down a bit - the turnovers are the only reason we aren't up by 10+. Harden is playing great, Beasley is too, but we need someone to just keep everyone calm.

    More like missing layups, don't being able to make 3 pointers keep them in the game.

    This is why I don't get the hate about Harden getting to the line so oftern.

    His 10 FTs in the first half were all legit fouls, him putting pressure on the defender and creating contact. It's a masterful skill that only few possesses.

    D-MO contributing, strange ways but contributing. Quite complaining. The guy most energetic and passioned Rocket and I think playing well defensively.

    Ariza why not square up for the last shot and actually try to score..... were you not aware of the situation...... acting like you never shot a 3 and that you were guarded

    with bev out and brewer playing like manure, if jb doesn't give kj some minutes this half, he's even dumber than we already thought, which was quite a considerable amount

    Steph comes out in a wheel chair and plays 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

    This is by far the most disappointed I've been in DMo. I don't care about the missed shots, but the defense and the turnovers have been dreadful. Absolutely awful. Other players have turned the ball over, but the result hasn't been as consistently bad as DMo's turnovers.

    JB was smart to get Clint out of there for the same reasons early on. There isn't time for errors like that. James cannot do it all by himself.

    This team can beat the Warriors, but those errors will haunt us if it comes down to another final possession.

    I'm sure the "Dmo Task Force" will flame me for saying anything negative about him, but oh well. Clint was nearly just as bad.

    Its not his fault in this game. They continue to ignore him in him post and have given him some bad passes to handle. They dont utilize him right.
