    I thought it was a mistake to not try to win this one then rest the last 2.

    Losing to the Lakers on Friday and then beating the Nuggets on Sunday would probably help.

    I am surprised no thread here discussing playoffs rivals.

    What can you really say about this game. We rested 4 starters, 6 out of our 8 rotational players. Reed’s shooting is starting to translate, but he needs to get stronger, he’s got a long way to go learning how to run an offense, and he needs to learn how to move without the ball. The coaches need to do a better job scheming up Reed for easy shots, but you can see that Reed is the type of player who could get you a 15-point Cocaine Curry Flurry in a quarter ;)

    Reed and the 3rd stringers gave them a slight run for their money.

    That would make him Heroin Klay as Klay was better at instant shooting and scoring.

    the rockets have not played them at full strength. clippers at full strength are one of the more balanced teams in the league. everyone is talking about the warriors since the butler trade but the clippers are better IMO.

    I see IQ has taken a night off like the talent on this team with all we should lose to the Lakers nonsense. Kudos for them really playing well 1st half though. Green was frustrating though, 2-7 with 4 turnovers? He really relies on others to elevate his game. This would've been THE game to show you can carry the team and he choked.

    Yep, I had a chuckle when Harden and Kahwi had played 38 minutes and were still on the court with Zubac too against a lineup of Reed, Cam, Dante, Williams and Mcveigh lol

    Isn't worrying about the warriors being in play-in all hindsight? No one expected them to drop a game vs a tanking spurs.

    Expectation is quite unrealistic. Team rest 4 out of 5 starters and u expect green to just carry the team against a team trying to win? He's only in it to maintain his streak of active games

    I expect him to show he can lead and be the best Rocket, sadly he was not looking good.
