    I'm truly disappointed. Harden could get a measly 4 points without launching those shots. He had the whole damn 4th quarter to get 4 points!!

    It was a fix. But we was slowly losing the game anyway. I think we only scored like 19 points in the last 15 minutes of play.

    That's the problem with our team - we miss a few shots in a row and we go into panic mode. Every single time.

    Sure...don't know what that has to do with 2 of our top role players going 1 FOR 12 from three when all they do offensively is SHOOT THREES!

    He was terrible. PJ Tucker as well. I just can't believe people can fool themselves like this. It's been like that all year long, giving up leads and playing terrible in the fourth. I see no reason to believe in this team unless we somehow sign a key contributor in the buyout market (don't see it happening).

    Certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings. And we couldn't trade him, right ? Boy, that was a mistake.

    Green and tucker played horrible.. CP3 should have been given the green light by Harden and the coach to take over in the 4th... and I'm sorry but those WERE charges by Harden in the forth.. Yes the refs played a roll in the loss but not near as much as the rockets play... imho

    I admire your optimism. I just want to puke. So disappointing.

    When defenders are allowed to receive a mm of contact and rewarded for falling down like a 45 lb kid - floater down the lane is gonna be taken away by Foster.

    MDA totally went away from the successful big lineup. If GG can't shoot or defend, you might as well get someone in there that can rebound.

    Does it really matter what they surround Harden with if Scott Foster is allowed to ref? Basketball is my favorite sport but I’m about done with the NBA. There is nothing more rigged that this garbage.

    Honestly, who cares? Rockets aren't winning the Championship so nothing really matters.

    Tilman gave up on this season long ago. Morey only went on those shows today to do PR control.

    The refs were trash, don't get me wrong especially that slimeball weasel Scott Foster, but let's not act like this team hasn't been choking away games all season... Call a spade a spade, this team has a choker mentality.

    The lack of discipline exhibited in that instance is reflective of the lack of discipline associated with losing a 19-point lead, which has become an all too familiar pattern this year.

    Scott Foster should never referee another Rockets game again.

    The guy literally hates us and has cost us several games. It's not a coincidence anymore.

    Because we were up 16-20 points at one point. And what did we do, that's right, went on cruise control thinking the damn three ball was going to bail us out. We've lost several games just like this one.

    Was you not watching those games as well??
