    Games like this are gonna happen. Wasn't a matter of effort, just have to get Harden more chances to go downhill.

    It's on James to bring us to a bounce-back second half. We're not going anywhere with him playing like that.

    Harden has always been inconsistent during the playoffs.

    Kawhi has played 22 minutes, and we're only down by 10. Stop freaking out folks.

    No doubt about it. Anderson had a great first half.

    Damn, Ariza is struggling again. :/


    Gotta hit at least 3 3s in the second half.

    I'd respect the harden haters a little bit if they didn't only come out when things aren't going well

    Assuming Harden is really injured, he needs to take a seat. He is so tough, he ain't getting out unless he is on a stretcher. While that toughness is admirable, it hurts our team, especially on d.

    I am not afraid of the Spurs, and we can beat them even without Harden. Over a long series, probably not, but we can win this game without a hobbled Harden.

    Yeah, Harden was fouled but they aren't calling anything. It was a heck of a play but funny when he fell over himself lol

    Squads seems satisfied with game one win, they don't have the same energy from firm the first game.

    Harden doesn't have a free throw yet....

    I'd be interested to know if there's a stat of how many free throws Harden averages when Brothers or Spooner officiates the game

    yeah, for a proven non-mvp-level playoff performer, they give him everything. and so much of it is not on drives. just minor bumps here and there in the mid-range.

    Lou has missed a lot of easy shots tonight too.

    Also Tony Parker is flashing back, hopefully, his age kicks in soon because he's played very well today.

    he hasn't gotten a single call on several drives now......even the one he apparently tweaked his ankle on, he was clearly fouled on the shot with no call of course. no calls for rockets tonite unless you shoot under 70% like nene & capela!

    Ariza is too inconsistent, he's gotta score some, if we going win this **** we need at least 10pts from him.

    Get it to 6 or less to start the 4th and watch about the 6-7 min. mark and see what happens.

    Suck it up buttercup, I hate whiners...

    It ain't the refs, it is our team playing badly, Harden, Ariza and Lou in particular....but I ain't worried, I think we are fine...

    WE CAN STILL STEAL THEIR SOULS WITH A GREAT 3RD QUARTER WHERE WE TAKE THE LEAD AND GO UP BY 10 GOING INTO THE 4TH.

    THEY WOULD PIZZ ALL ON THEMSELVES!
