    This was the biggest reason for the loss tonight. If they hit even a few 3s during that drought the game looks completely different. A run of 0 for 27 on threes when that is your biggest weapon and there is no way you'll win.

    Said it because most of the threads seem to be blaming the refs or D'Antoni

    Dude they were effin tired. You see what they were up against? Ffs, they were not getting calls going to the basket which in turn leads to fast break 3s for the warriors. I dont blame them jacking it up when the refs swallowed the whistle. Game 7 of a very rough series. Im exhausted just watching from my desk. Houston needs 1 more allstar and a healthy cp3. Warriors a lucky team...everyone i know hates the warriors

    A lot of them were WIDE open, GS was ready to quit they were rattled, we let them off the hook with poor shooting.

    Harden: 0-20 at one point during the series
    Rockets: 0-for-****ing-27. Unbelievable.

    I will be thinking about this statistic and Chris Paul's injury for a long time.

    We had them. We really did. This hurts.

    We haven't shot the ball well all playoffs.

    The truth is we don't have shooters, like none. It's a crap shoot with every player on the court even with wide open shots.

    That compounded with crazy effort on defense, threw off our shooting completely.

    a lot of them were wide open too

    I remember Ego had a wide open above the break three and bricked it so badly it didn’t even hit rim, it hit the other side of the backboard

    Ariza went 0-9 from deep...Harden was broke from 3 yet again

    this was 1 of the worst displays of shooting I’ve ever seen

    Can you really blame them. Tired legs play a part in missed 3s. Along with lost momentum from the no calls. We were a healthy Cp3 away from a title. We got our hearts ripped out bc of an injury. But this is a blessing in disguise Bc I believe this will lead Morey to work harder in offseason and acquire a 3rd Star... stay tuned. PG13?

    Proves that Morey's analytics don't mean **** in the playoffs. Fire him.

    Take the worst 3pt shooting team and they wouldn't go 0-27 and somehow the Rockets did it! At the worst possible time!

    It's a shame the league's biggest 3PT representer set notorious history from its own mentality.

    Damn

    0-27 from 3 when the 2 was open all day. I don't blame the attempts, if they just would have hit 3-4 of those 3's it's a different game. I hope chris comes back, as I just left a jam packed bar in the bay area, GS fans where scared of this team. That reaction is what i was looking for, i got pushed around with people yelling harden sucks, but i loved every minutes of it. Houston only has 1 year with Chris and the coach, it will get better from now on, just watch. Tucker is becoming one of my all time favorite Rockets, not Rob H. yet but could be with a few more seasons with this effort.

    Not really different then what happened to the Celtics in game 7. Rozier/Smart/Brown combined for 3 for 26 on threes. Hard to win if you shoot the 3 this badly in today's NBA...
    Rozier 0 for 10
    Smart 0 for 4
    Brown 3 for 12

    This is a game of momentum. When saint goes against you, you miss shots.

    refs took the momentum out from the Rockets allowing the GSW to stay in the game for the second game in a row. that's the point, no matter if we are 0-1500 from 3pts after that.

    They really need a contingency plan. Like a set play or something to get mid range 2's. I mean would it kill the coaching staff to set that up?
