    Well just terrible execution at the end.

    Not sure James is the only to blame.

    Those last few seconds will get replayed on ESPN to a sickening degree.

    Embarrassing close.

    Devastating.

    Absolutely killed by the refs all game but still had a chance to win, lacked the execution to do so.

    Everything tightened up. We never look good milking the clock, we just need to realise we have to attack

    and i again have to question d'antoni. no timeout there? are you aware of our timeout count mike? we catch it in a desperate situation trapped in the corner knowing we need a 3 and you don't call a timeout? this is not hindishgt. i thought "time out! timeout!" as soon as we got the ball. why doesn't our coach know how to prevent a blocked 3 like that?

    MDA was scared to lessen James' role when he began screwing up.

    Rockets rebounding was also a killer.

    How many times have I said that Harden's fall is his conditioning. He can't sustain a high level of play tip off to final buzzer.

    harden is great player but he's just not built for this.

    nothing wrong in admitting that.

    This one is on us. Leonard was out of the game. We turned the ball over and couldn't execute.

    Lol. Harden doesn't have that type of attitude. This is not a passionate basketball player. This guy dated a Kardashian....enough said...

    This is why harden is not on lebron level. Big moments harden goes missing.

    It was though.

    MDA let these guys run a terrible offense to close the game THEN decided to run this stupid 7 man rotation and expect them to keep up the pace for the entire game. These dudes are human. If we played Dekker and Trez we win. If he doesn't let his team just go ISO 3 for the entire end of the game we win.

    A lot of people are emotional, blaming Harden for this loss, he played a huge part of it, but he played a huge part of us just being in the game as Lou and Gordon scrubbed it up for nearly the entire game.

    If I was beverley, I would have run the offense myself in OT.


    IDK what the **** harden was doing but a D3 college basketball player could have played better than that.

    Terrible overtime from coaching down to the superstar. Kawhi didn't even play. We should've kept attacking and ran away with it. No reason to have dribbled down every possession.

    This, year after year we have the same Rockets where everyone lose their brain when brain is needed and the first to lose his brain is James Harden. ALWAYS!
