    It just sucks that this team can't play consistent defense. If nothing is falling for them, then they pretty much give up on defense. MDA--I know I can't criticize him--just doesn't make adjustments. He wants Harden to play lights out, and that's the game plan...

    Bad time to depend on Gerald chunking threes that why we were down by 20 to GS last game and had to come back.

    House is a much better shot blocker than Capela

    That’s why the small ball worked in the first without a center when Clark was playing.

    harden gonna have to play the whole 4th quarter smh.

    shoulda matched harden's minutes with giannis.

    giannis on the floor vs a harden-less rockets = instant runs.

    Clint needs to pass more. He rarely makes the extra pass when deep in the paint. It's the best time to past that b**** out!

    No heart tonight, save for Danuel House I guess. Weak to give up almost 100 points in 3 quarters.

    Budenholzer coaching circles around MDA. Lost the quarter by 15. Not a single adjustment.

    Absolutely pathetic.

    They would be getting destroyed if Chris Paul and Eric Gordon we’re playing.

    They are feasting on the fact that no Rocket player besides Harden can really create their own shot.

    Harden will have to play the whole fourth for even a chance to win

    Capela gets burned so easily. Not sure why he plays so close to the offensive player so far from the rim.

    Why are we forcing ourselves to play Ennis?

    MDA took out Harden at the weirdest moment when the Rockets gave up the lead. Keep Harden in the finish the 3rd and rest the start of the 4th. He took Harden out right as Giannis came in.
