    Watching the Spurs flop tonight reminded me of the Rockets / Jazz 1997 West Finals. Flopping to win. Makes me sick watching the NBA still allow this to continue.

    Simmons was the difference tonight. Missed Nene too. Hard to swallow they beat us with their MVP out and a nearly 40-year-old outdueling our MVP. I fear all these Harden hero ball years will be no better than Steve Francis-level basketball, with even more turnovers and even less defense. To be fair, Harden was exhausted, but that's the problem.

    Knowing the Warriors will mop us I'm not too mad. Spurs probably have the better chance to defeat the warriors

    I really don't get Harden. Some nights he looks like the best player on the planet and some he looks completely out of it like a deer in the head lights. It happens every playoffs. There are two or three games where he just shuts off and has that blank look on his face.

    Harden is more likely to disappoint in the playoffs than anything else.

    Neither the Rockets nor the Spurs can beat the Warriors - and the team that survives this series will be so tired, and worn out, that they will be lucky to win a game.

    Really hope someone calls Harden out on the team. He has to understand you just cant play like that under pressure./

    For the life of me I'll never understand the hold ball/5 second left strategy. Rockets gave this one away. I don't trust this team in a close game. Only way to win series is by blowing them out next two games.

    It's your funeral. I'm not saying Harden didn't blow a very winnable game, but calling him the biggest p***y in the NBA is straight-up cra-cra.

    Do you leave the board if Harden hoists a championship trophy this season? It's a long shot, but how could the biggest p***y in the NBA possibly win a 'chip?

    this makes the loss easier tonight, you know for a fact the Warriors are going to jump on whoever wins the series and take the 2-0 lead

    they are rested and waiting and hoping this goes to seven.

    This loss is not only on Harden but Tony too

    Seven man rotation

    Ufff

    Even pop had the balls to keep Leonard off the court. Coach needs the balls to get Harrell or Dekker some time just to give guys a breather.
