    Gordon bricking, Anderson sick, it's tough for the Rox to win against anybody when Gordon and Anderson are non existent.

    No shooting. No defense. Stupid lineups.

    I'm very disappointed. Rest the starters for the Memphis game tomorrow.

    @tinman we got warriors fans in here pretending to be rockets fans. Not sure if you are the one to go to about this but worth a try?

    Laugher for the Warriors. Not too shocked but wish we'd have played better. They have a good strategy against Harden and have frustrated him.

    Oh well. Long season.

    Durant charged...take away 2 points, Gordon needs to make those open 3s...we would only be down 15 and still in this game. SMMFH

    The worse forking decision in the 3rd Q : WTF will you not getting Dekker involved more? He is the only one that at least tried.

    Awful quarter there.

    The starters didn't show any intensity.

    They came out sluggish hence the big lead.

    Also, our threes are not falling in that quarter.

    I'm always reminded of the kid who hears the popular kids talk about a new toy, so then he goes and buys them all the toy. But they still don't want to play with him.

    Dekker, Capela, Harden playing well but Gordon is just off and no Anderson....

    Not enough firepower to keep up

    The other players on the team need to understand they can bring the ball up court. When James is getting doubled on screens, there needs to be a back up plan on offense. I still haven't seen it. All I see is everyone just looking to pass to James like he's in the middle of MyCareer. He's struggling tonight, someone else needs to step up!

    Nah I think it was more just KD tripped while backing up. Dekker didn't even make a real move.

    The only thing he had not done yet is to use his nose to score.

    99ers are the greatest rockets fans on the planet in the history of the universe

    Anything said against the 99ers is like insulting Hakeem himself

    While I can understand this, I start Harden, Bev, Gordon, Ariza and Capella to start the 4th and see if you can get it down to 10 in 5 or 6 minutes. If not, or the lead expands, play the bench.

    gordon actually looks hurt, or at least much slower than usual. anderson -- i don't know how someone can be out so long with f'n flu. i played 2hrs fullcourt with 101F a couple weeks ago. for free.
