    Harden CHOKED...there's no other way to put it. Missed FT's,TO, didn't have it. And loved the Turk tapping out on Jackson as he takes the rebound away from him at the end. He is a GUTLESS wonder.

    The Rockets need to add a player with a big game mentality who can knock down 3s in these type of situations..

    Not too mad at the missed free throws.... more pissed at the 3 careless turnovers in the last 3 minutes or so /sigh/ price of a young team I suppose. Now lets at least win one game and not get swept.

    I actually have a pretty big smile on my face.

    We are the least experienced team in NBA history to make the playoffs. Our two highest paid players are Garcia and Luis Scola. We have max cap space and definitely giving a crazy good OKC Thunder team a run for their money.

    overall he played well, its just during the last few minutes, with sinilar scenario, he just over do it. He needs to create plays for this teamates and let them shoulder some as well. We could have got this game, sigh!

    Overall still good effort by ROX.

    Sick of this positive bs attitude. It's alright when we just get outplayed but when we lose the game ourselves this team deserves to get ripped on. People would say the same thing about Tmac when he was at that age. And he amounted to nothing for his team

    Thank you Rockets for playing your heart out...PS...Durant is just another chucker...not as good without Westbrook opening up his jumper...and talk about soft bounce wow...on our home court...

    The Refs will make sure to give us a game 4...and they close it out at home...

    I agree with the first part, but the second part is BS. You have learn to close out close games if you're going to be elite.

    I am ridiculously upset with Harden right now. In my opinion he choked this entire game away. We came back from 26-pts down and he did NOTHING good down the stretch besides hitting his last 2 FTs.... after completely choking for the entire 2nd half pretty much. His ISO, inability to "try" to make his layups instead of expecting a whistle, and...missing those motherfcking free throws are going to bring me to tears. I simply cannot believe we took a 2-pt lead with 43secs left and lost it to Durant on that stupid lucky azz bouncing sfkjbgo8q3462435&^$&*!*&@!~^@$^~@^@....

    but after that comeback, it shouldnt have come to that. Our "leader"
    ...who I usually very much support, made AWFUL awful decisions and mistakes down the stretch. Whatever. This series is over. Our team will take a lot from this series, but in general I think our coaching is the overall issue. It has to be. We don't run PLAYS. We don't commit to defense, and that INCLUDES Harden BIG TIME! I'm just sooooo so soo so unbelievably angry right now. later.
