    Tucker 2-11 on wide open corner threes

    the Rockets have so many bricklayers...if other teams got the quality of 3 point looks the Rockets get, they’d be shooting 38% or more from deep on the season

    that was such great effort defensively just a bad outcome

    we are unlucky with the shooting AND with the reffing tonight ( well not unlucky , just plain ****ed in the ass )

    Cant win whe both those elements go wrong . still a few min left , maybe we can get hot and pull it out . we deserve to win . weve played much harder , and have just gotten boned by these refs.

    Harden is frustrating vs the Bucks. I don’t know if it’s all the talk him and Gianna have had but he doesn’t show up.

    Lopez is too skilled in low post offense for it to work against him.

    We'd still be winning if we hit our open shots though but yeah...defensively they are getting 2 points whenever they want.

    We gotta box out better. We'd be winning had we gotten a few boards here and there and maybe hit one or two more of those open 3's.

    This is why our small ball can't work.

    Too small,too many brickers.

    That's why Pop is one of the goat. No way he keeps playing PJ even late in close game when he continues to brick on open threes. MDA is an idiot

    This is a terrible take. He’s literally one of the hardest working guys in the league.

    And they're short because we're trying to bang with big boys in the paint, so legs are worn :(

    One midget after another trying to guard Lopez while MDA stands there with his arms crossed hoping Lopez will miss.

    This is a terrible matchup for us. They're going to kill us every time in the paint and on the rebounds. Plus, they have a much better coach than us.

    We're really banking on Harden getting us 40 points plus to give us a chance.

    Our offense looks so stupid at times. I get taking 3's but the Harden step backs from 35 feet I could do without. You can tell that's short before he even releases it.
