    Harden needs to be a f-cking killer. He is way too cool. Rockets are up 6 or so when he came back in.. He has his regular rest he should have been attacking.. Everyone was looking at him and he is literally passing the ball off to EG or pointing at people to throw it to CP3.

    This is so frustrating.. Every time the Rockets play OKC, they never want to just win the game. they always want to let up..

    Every year when it's time to win the never just win..

    "He lost he MVP"

    Enough with that bullshit too.

    That **** was already won by Giannis/Milwaukee.

    LOL @ pretending he still had a shot.

    _______

    On an entirely different note, Harden may be able to carry them "alone" past the first round but role players can't continue to be useless.

    8 points Gordon
    4 points Tucker
    3 points from Rivers
    Goose egg for House & Nene
    Gerald did drop 15 (but we know he runs hot & cold)
    Clark, Faried, Shumpert DNP

    What money are you talking about? Ratings were down last year the audience is sick of GSW. If anything they want Rockets to win Harden is an MVP candidate and the Rox are underdogs, that does more for ratings than "Oh yeah, another boring win for GSW".

    I've had it with everyone blaming the refs for every Rockets loss there isn't any "conspiracy" out there otherwise why did super boring old ass Dallas beat the much hyped "Not 1, 2, 3" Lebron Heat? You telling me rhe league wants Dirk, Kidd and T Chandler to win over Lebron, Bosh and Wade?

    If the Rox lose its because GSW beat them, it isn't due to refs otherwise why does Rox had 3-1 lead in the series and had a 3-2 lead in the playoffs last year before Cp3 went down? Are refs prophets and predicted Cp3 will tear his achilles in game 4? Lol

    **** it... bring on OKC in the first round. Let's see if this team is about it or not. Harden needs to beat PG & in the playoffs, shut his ass up.

    Gordon missed 4 three point shots in a row, made a couple of stupid turnovers and Thunder was back in game. This one is on Gordon

    Games like this just prove the Rockets have no chance against Golden State. Hell....they very well might lose first round to OKC, who now knows they own Houston mentally. No lead is too big for Houston to choke against them.

    Last year’s team didn't’ allow stuff like this. This year’s team is clueless with a lead. You KNOW they’re going to choke it away.

    That's what I took away from the end too. There's only 2 guys who should touch the ball in that situation- CP3 and Harden. Instead of pointing at other guys to take the ball, Harden needs to be demaniding they give it to him to close out the game.

    Well, that really did suck. The 2 teams you want to avoid are GS and OKC. You want them to be in the same bracket while you sit on the other side. At this point I would rather drop to 4 and only play GS. If we end up 3, we will probably have to go through both OKC and GS.

    Faried would have won us this game. His effort is exactly what Houston needed. For some reason Houston keeps him on the bench. This coaching staff will not win Houston a championship

    It isn't a choke if we're up by 2 with 9 seconds to go. We should have played better defense in the 4th quarter.

    This is what I find funny about this forum. As soon as Harden as a bad quarter and we lose, he's the first to get hate. No other player gets that on here. Yet, Tucker, River, House and Gordon were the most pathetic players out there. The matter of the fact is, besides Paul, Harden gets no real help out there. Too many players go into hiding.

    We don't deserve Harden.

    The good news is that due to the fact Wade played his last game in Miami, Dirk retired and Magic stepped down from his position with the Lakers nobody noticed how embarrassing that loss was.
