    I agree meanwhile Kawai Leonard is offensive fouling by free arming his way to the basket every time

    I'll give Lou a pass since he's been great in all other playoff games for us.

    Well we played really well for 3 quarters ...

    Mike ****ed up by not adjusting to gasol being out there for the second unit and SA playing with 4 smalls ... You just cannot have Anderson out there then ... Gotta go with Dekker

    That being said , **** the refs

    This was an ass whoopin. Partial blame to defense not stopping the first step, and partial blame to Harden for missin the ocean.

    If Harden is hurt again say goodbye to the playoffs cause we have no chance with him playing limited

    Very disappointing performance by Harden. He has had a number of playoff stinkers through the years. The best play their best on the biggest stage. No excuse. Case in point: K.Lenard who looked all world, MVP, whatever. The Spurs will really miss Tony Parker if he is seriously hurt. But the key to the game, besides Harden going MIA, was the rebounding. Just horrible. Amazingly, this game was still winnable with six minutes to go, and the Rockets just collapsed. Going to be a long series.

    Didn't they just lose by 30? Our team is built on hitting shots. We'll hit them more often than not. We're good. We're still solid.

    Tough loss. We were in it until the 4th quarter.

    Lots of blame on the refs... I don't buy it. They were swallowing the whistle on both ends and honestly, they were pretty consistent in that.

    Rockets loss this with a poor 4th quarter + Spurs coming out with energy in the 4th.

    Rockets can't shoot and we are still in the game.. can't rebound? still in the game... refs basically giving the game to the spurs.. still hanging.. Harden and Lou and the whole GD team playing like ****.. still within reach.. Parker hurts himself and the refs give the game to the spurs.

    And Kawhi is pretty good. There is still no reason we should lose this series though.

    Lost all that good will in this 4th. We'll end up losing by more than what we beat SA by. Totally negates that momentum. I could've easily accepted a competitive loss but getting thrashed so thoroughly when we had a chance to make this a real game is embarrassing. It's really the one thing you couldn't do and you did it.
