    Understand the frustration, but please... Spurs got a lot of flopping calls.

    Hope you'll come back and post here when the biggest p***y in the NBA advances to the conference finals on Sunday.

    Harden has been turning the ball over ALL SEASON. You can't do this against teams like the Spurs and expect to win.

    I'm a pretty measured guy. This game has me ****ing livid. Does Harden want it or not!? the tired excuse makes me so mad.. DO you want it or not!? you should put everything in that game so you can go home and sleep. Harden was just walking it up and then taking jumpers..

    I've never been so disappointed..

    Sad. Now if Kawhi just has a sore ankle, Spurs can afford to rest Kawhi until game 7 which is FIVE days of rest from now. Rockets ruined a chance to force Kawhi to play game 6 on a hobbled ankle. Looking ahead, Rockets give the Warriors more rest and less rest for themselves in the upcoming series, if they should advance. Just overall self destruction. Pathetic to watch.

    This is what literally drives me crazy...you have 24 seconds to play...****ing play. It makes no sense whatsoever to just stand there for 20 seconds just to chuck up a bad shot...you can always do that, but you have 24 ****ing seconds...try to make up a better play ffs...

    TNT commentators all agree JH held the ball in OT . . . but also criticize MDA for only playing seven guys

    7 player rotation, we'll be dead even if we make it to a game 7.

    Funny to me how many excuses Westbrook gets when he does this. This is the only time Harden has just basically ruined it for his team in the clutch and everyone just goes right to the "He doesn't have it." stuff.

    It's easy to come unhinged now but we have too many broken parts......no defense, not a lick of rebounding (sometimes it appeared little to no effort) and most of all for Jimmy to walk the damn ball up when they have a team full of old man with tired legs and sit and hold the ball and let the clock tick down and fire up a 3. GAVE the game away.

    and it's not even like he's going anywhere as he's dribbling out the shot clock...he literally just stays in 1 spot and then tries to do something with 5 seconds left

    James Harden gives us turnover show every playoffs.

    But I still feel angry...

    There needs to be an investigation into this game, I would be very surprised if the Rockets don't lodge an official protest.

    Houston got to 100 first and lost. That is clearly against Lawler's Law. I demand a replay.
