    Gave up too much for Cp3, then gave him up for a complete stiff on offense. Lou Will and Cp3 beats this team.

    When we give up 3's, that defeats the the math. Lets them take 2's. Take away the 3's.

    No House and absolute egg of a game from Ben and Austin.

    Puts a lot of pressure of the rest of the team to score.

    Westbrick singlehandedly throwing this game. I had a feeling him doing well the first half would lead him to over believe in his own hero ball in the 4th.

    Russ is better than this. I think the moment just getting to him. Those last two shots were bad

    maybe we should adjust our strategy of leaving guys completely open, almost got burned by Dort last series, now it's Rondo

    All they have to do is double/trap James in the 4th quarter forcing the ball out of his hands. Then, the role players lose the game.

    Westbrook with the worst +/- of any player on either team. Enough of this clown already.

    Not having House is killing us. Westbrook ain’t helping.

    We're shading off of Rondo, because AD is commanding a double team.

    Harden being a bit passive again. Gordon having a bad game. Westbrook still turnover prone. Id like to see the ball in Greens hands more often.

    And as I type.. wtf are these passes.... Cov..

    Mike Dantoni 6 Man Rotation I think he wants just a 2 man rotation with Eric Gordon and James Harden, than Eric Gordon gets injured. 1 Man Rotation with James Harden.

    Rudy Tomjanovich uses everyone on the bench in the Playoffs.

    And this Coach believes he is in a Italian League. With a 6 Man Rotation.

    rockets played amazing, but lebron played just a tad bit better.

    small ball is just too much and down the stretch, there are no legs to do anything. that and westbrooks bad IQ.
