    Injuries caught up to the team tonight.

    CP3 no showed, Luk out, Capela out.

    Your three best defenders out and the Rockets are having a poor shooting game.
    Not going to win many of these.

    well, this was a trainwreck from the beginning. falling behind by 22 eventually catches up to you. we aren't invincible. there was gonna come a night when we were gonna brick some layups, a scrub like brewer was literally going to score 9x as much as he normally does, and a young athletic team was going to be hungry enough to beat a team that looks worn down/bored by this streak.

    Yeah, we are going to lose.

    We just cant keep up with them, have no depth right now, Nene looks over 40 now and Harden is straight gassed.

    Looks like the team can only go as far as CP3 can take them :(

    Seriously, it's annoying because they could have easily beat the Warriors on Monday playing like this.

    Not looking good but game isn't over. Think Black needed to see some playing time in the second half. Their rebounding has hurt. MDA stubbornness and tight rotations especially during injuries is a major concern.

    w/e can't win 'em all.

    just need cp3 to be okay. this could drop us from contenders to pretenders if cp3 isn't his healthy superstar self moving forward.

    Broadcast said sore knee. They wondered if it was the same knee as earlier this season. No further info.

    Maybe this loss will help us. Maybe the Rockets will stop playing lazy in the first 3 quarters after this game if we lose

    I don't get how Anderson can look so pitiful on 3s in games like this. He's not just missing, he's way off and it looks really ugly. How can he be THIS bad in moments like this?

    He's been kicking it out to Ariza and EGo, who've both missed their last 3-4 attempts from 3.
