    Rockets don't win shooting 15% from 3. That's not a normal night. Any other night this would have been a W.

    It's one thing when your shot isn't falling and the other team is hot.

    It's a whole other thing when you jack up needless shots after 2 seconds off the shotclock and give the ball away at the other end.

    Not that we've finished strong, but that "sliding" charge bs by Ginobili changed a LOT about the end of this game. He was STILL moving over as Ariza was jumping and on a made layup.

    It would've been a 3-pt play, and instead turned into a 3 for Spurs. Complete bs. Of course we had 3 costly turnovers and they hit their last 5 threes. Sigh. Wtvr.

    This is what seperates us from the spurs by the way. If they were up by 10 in the 4th we would have gotten no chance to come back

    This is the type of game that will sting. I mean sting. It pretty cost is any chance of catching the Spurs for the second spot.Played great for the most part so they need to understand you cant switch off for a second against these elite teams.

    well it was a good fought game, just got sloppy at the end. The turnovers gave them all those fast break points. it's just one game and time to go on another streak

    Spurs hit every single 3pter down the stretch. 2 manu threes, Danny Green three, Patty Mills three to steal this game. Sucks.

    Harden fed the narrative tonight that he can't lead a team to a championship. He's for too careless. He has to lead this team more smartly.

    The quick 3 from Gordon after the offensive rebound was the beginning of the end. Needed to use more of the clock up there.

    Difficult one to swallow just because we had the win. I swear to you in my eyes that Gordon 3 was a make.

    Should've won, but oh well. If we didn't already know, the rockets showed again that they really do belong in the discussion as one of the best teams in the league.

    Rockets p-ssed this one away. You're up 13 more than halfway through the 4th at home, you gotta close. I don't care who the competition is. The turnovers are what did them in. If the Spurs had been forced to work for their points, the Rockets probably eek this one out.
