    If I were D'Antoni I would say when talking to the press, "They're a tougher team to beat without Durant. Green and Demarcus play better without him." Just to see if I can mess with them.

    Last 4 min we decided to FINALLY start trying to get back in this game.
    Trailed the whole game, then tried to get it close at the end.
    We NEVER lead nor showed we were there to win it.
    They always had an answer for us. The poor effort on boxing out was appalling.
    Like we didn't know what boxing out was. Too many uncontested rebounds and second/third chances.

    Game over. STATEMENT MADE

    The Rockets, on their third game in four nights, were sleep-walking through this game and only lost by two points. Not much of a "statement game" for the Warriors. Houston should feel confident about their chances.

    Cousins just destroyed us tonight, that was our undoing in the 4th.

    Hmm. Without Harden, the rockets crushed Golden State, last game. If your logic is valid, then this loss is Harden's fault?

    He only started doing this in the 4th quarter. Not sure what took so long. Probably experimenting with Shumpert

    Weirdly, this game actually makes me feel pretty good about our chances in the playoffs. We played terribly, zero effort, and almost stole the game.

    They didn't play great either, but every game we play against them will be a toss up imo

    My bad. Whom else can i blame?

    (Seriously, i hated the loss, but it told me a lot about our chances. yes, there was no KD, but I think in a fair series, we have a good chance of taking them. Their reaction to a regular season game seems to indicate the same.)

    That involves coaching. We don’t do that.

    It's fine. This game could have gone our away if we shot just a tad bit better on 3s.

    I am still irritated by the AG complaining about getting a foul called when literally hit CP3s arm on that shot attempt. Like that's the easiest call as a referee to make! By goodness.

    Wasted 2 possessions on the curry switches doing stepback jumpers. That's 4 points off the board.. Could've probably gotten and 1s drives . The whole team falls in love with 3s though. It's literally the same **** that happened last playoffs, we refused to drive.

    Fitting to see Tucker fail to grab that offensive rebound at the end. Our starting PF literally grabbed ONE DEFENSIVE REBOUND.

    Even House had a better chance at getting that rebound.

    The positive side is that we only lost by TWO even though we got raped in every categories.

    I just read a thread where House is called mini Harden and that we should start Faried (even after how he played) for this game :oops:

    I will add that Cousins played out of his mind tonight. He was the difference maker.

    I just don’t think the Rockets are at their best yet. Faried will be needed and effective and there’s just enough time to get him acclimated (and House possibly) for the Rockets to peak going into the Playoffs.

    Yeah I'm not overreacting to this loss. I hate losing but I know what really matters. GS is vulnerable and that's clear.

    I'm blaming Faried and Harden's right wrist.
