    Thank you for being rational. Bad half. Some of these "fans" are unbearable.

    There is no way we play that badly in the 2nd half.

    Paul and Capela has to do more. I know Harden't hasn't shot well, but the other players also has to step up.

    Ofc people around gonna be mad at how we're playing. NO KD, no DC, literally no Stephanie and yet game is tied. Most of us expected Rockets to show their character and send a message from the get-go. That's the only frustration. Don't think anyone is thinking Rockets going to lose this. Still expecting them to come out strong in the second half tho.

    I had high hopes for Faried against the Warriors in the playoffs. In the regular season game we played without Harden, he was getting offensive rebounds on Draymond and really out hustled him.

    with the intensity it is supposed to be inn this elimination game, Harden just played two negatively, walking the ball cross the court, and dribble the clock out, passing the passive ball to other people to make forced shoots at the last second. this is just not the energy he should bring up...

    man, people has been trying to talk about playoff Harden, year after year, we have expectations and faith on him, and he just turns us down year after year...
    i kinda hope he turns up during the second half with more energy, but i just don't believe anymore...

    @DreamShook's CP3 Theory is on everyone's mind.

    Elimination game. Win or GO HOME
    and we act like rebounds are something we wait to come to US.
    We have to go FULL assault on getting EVERY rebound and loose ball.
    Giving them second chances is not an option.
    SO sick of seeing open lanes to the rim on rebounds

    Seriously, like who is guarding Klay? I would call a timeout if he hit ONE open look.

    The fact is that we are playing 4 Point Guards and PJ Tucker. Of course we are going to struggle to rebound.

    We are going to win but goodness we are letting them hang around. Can't believe the level of play of some of our people. I see NO EMOTION...NONE. Better change in 2nd half !

    The most bizarre thing about our offense is Capela's absence. The Harden/Capela pick and roll is supposed to be the most unstoppable play in the league today and we can't get anything out of that. There is no offense other than Harden isolation right now. Its bad.

    We can’t just play even with GSW and count on luck at the end of the game. We have to assert ourselves and leave no doubt who is winning

    A sloppy game so far by the Rockets. They are lucky to be tied. They are being outplayed in every phase. Curry with zero points! The GS scrubs look like All-Stars. Harden is having a good scoring game, but shooting below 30%. Too many turnovers, and wimpy defense. Rockets will have to pick it up big time or they are going fishing.

    If you think Capela is going to suddenly be an impact player in this series you haven’t been paying attention.

    You’d have no clue the rockets are the ones facing elimination. None whatsoever. Getting beat on the boards, turnovers, fastbreak points, hustle plays.... looking lost on rotations, playing with no fire, no urgency. Curry with ZERO and three fouls at halftime and it’s tied. TIED.

    What is it w us and big games? It’s like an organization-wide pandemic. We’re the anti-Astros.

    Man, I wish I could agree with you. But I think the biggest thing is the psychology of it all. Warriors are having fun playing hard and are tied up after playing deep into their bench; while Steph has ZERO points. We’re grinding out possessions and playing on edge b/c we know if we blow this than we’re back to choke city for another year. We need to take the lid off, play hard, and just work for open looks like the Warriors are. Who’s going to bring the energy in second? Hopefully the WHOLE TEAM.
