    I hope Capela doesn't blame himself for what happened at the end of the game with the hack-a-pela. The game was over. You are not the reason we lost.

    Don’t forget Luc’s injury. He was specifically signed for playing against GSW. We clearly missed our bench play with CP3 being out. Anderson is one of the worst Rockets player in history...$20M pile of trash.

    How about shot selection and turn overs?

    But, no, let's blame things out of our control to feel better.

    > The records show Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster — more than the 126 calls Donaghy made to his bookie — between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to either betting on games or passing on game information to gamblers. The majority of the phone calls lasted no more than two minutes and occurred prior to and after games Donaghy officiated and on which he admits wagering.

    > With the exception of 150 calls Donaghy placed to Thomas Martino, to whom he says he provided “picks” to win games and who was the middleman between the disgraced referee and a bookie named James Battista, the ex-ref phoned no one more than he called Foster. During this period, the most calls Donaghy made to any other referee were 13.

    I'm a bit dissapointed in our coaches' rotations/ decisions. Luc, Jjo, and Green were playable off the bench this series and he plays Ryan Anderson in a critical stretch in the 3rd while Curry is still in. Curry gets it going the lead blossoms and our guys are completely gassed.

    just to add to OP, the first part of the season i was begging for morey to get us a backup PG. paul was out so much this season, this should have been a priority. instead he added useless crap all season that we couldn't even use for 1 game in the playoffs. that detail might have made the difference. imagine a jameer nelson in uniform tonite.

    The reality is the Rockets dont know how to close a game. This has been a problem all season long. We can get away with it with almost all of the other scrub teams who do not have shooters.

    Both game 6 and 7 we were up by 15+ at the half. If this team is too tired after the 1st half, then stop playing a sprint and learn to play a marathon.

    Refs.

    CP3's injury tho is what hurt us. With CP3, we beat them in 6.

    Lol at how many love Dan toney, loves to talk to reporters, he is nothing without harden and cp3 and Nash.

    Jeff bzedelik took it to 7. Regular season one trick pony.

    Given the OP, I thought that J.J. Watt was somehow going to get blamed.

    You can't blame the refs. Imagine if they would have hit just 4 more 3 pointers. Then everyone on here would be saying how great the Rockets are.

    The minute Paul went down this series was over.

    Refs missed some major foul calls that really aided the warriors momentum.

    Maybe if they went 10-44 instead of 7-44 they could have won
