    Shots are not falling, but we have given excellent effort. Cut down stupid turnovers and we win this.

    I blame 7 player rotation.

    The Rockets game plan is flawed with all of these 3's. I know they missed several wide open looks to begin the game but now are firing away with no space when they have a mismatch to drive the lane. Missing those shots has taken the Rockets out of their game and fed the Warriors right back into it.

    Don’t buy it, it’s the first freakin half! and it definitely doesn’t explain why they struggled to find any semblance of a shot in the first quarter. They've been off since the tip. Golden state is not going to let us off the hook.

    In order to win they will have to earn it.

    Me saying as of right now they dont deserve to win is me saying they wont win if cp3 and harden go 8/80 from the field and 0/20 from 3.

    I dont predict that will happen and I think the rockets still have a great opportunity to go out and prove they deserve it

    MDA is infuriating. REST THEM!

    I’ll gladly eat crow on this if Rockets pulp through. I just despise stubborn coaches

    Warriors are extremely athletic. If refs aren't calling fouls those rim shots will just lead to fastbreaks for them.

    I'd agree 100% against any other team.

    Oh man. Feels like we should be up by a lot after that first half.

    Here's to hoping we survive the 3rd quarter blitz that the Warriors are likely to do.

    That's a real ****** post. I freaking hate the people saying "They need to do it for Santa Fe! This is awful!" It's two completely freaking different situations. Stop linking the two. It's a slap in the face to those that went through a horribly tragedy, and it's a slap in the face to Harden and Paul acting as if "They don't care" about the situation. Just freaking stop it.
