    Tough loss but you got to admire the way team clawed its way back into the game.
    Too many careless turnovers and ice cold players tonight killed us . I'd like to see Houston/Harden push the tempo late in games when there down and not run to much clock.

    Oh btw the technical might cost us a potential OT now. Since this was a bs call and give them the 2posession game now
    Edit: nvm

    Harden's TOs are now starting to lead to loses against the better teams. People can no longer ignore this.

    Good game by the Grizzlies and good fight by the Rockets. We still have work to do and this was a frustrating night for us, man. Dude hopes the Rockets mark the calendar for these guys next time and issue the smack down.

    I also hope that the Grizzlies play this way against the Spurs and Warriors, rather than get blown out by them like they usually do.

    Happy Holidays Clutchfans. Good night and dude loves you.

    That's why I aint even mad. Just confused.

    I'm actually a little salty that it came down to a 1-2 possession game in the end, with Harden's 9 TOs. :(

    The Rockets last 2 losses have all come down to the wire against good teams. We then blow out bad teams.

    If the fan base has higher aspirations for this team, they need to demand and expect more of Harden. His carelessness is a problem. Only blind homers think differently.

    If anything we learnt today, the only thing that can stop our superstar James Harden is not letting him go right, not keeping him off the 3 point line.....it's himself. Teams rush him on offense, and hope that he committs enough turnovers. Bad game (even though we would be nothing without him) by James, but heres to hoping he will bounce back better next one.
