    The Rockets haven't been a good defensive team in weeks. This is nothing surprising.

    Motiejunas needs to stop passing and looking to score.

    This team has arguably 3 elite defenders in the starting lineup.

    Crazy. It has to be a lack of effort.

    LAtely Harden has been off and on defensively

    he needs to get his focus back and stop leaving players open

    I hope they pick it up. You don't lose to a damn Eastern Conference 5 seed missing an all-time great and hope to survive in the West. Games like this are the ones the Rockets should FEAST on with the talent they have.

    Harden for MVP, not so much...Beverley needs to be benched as well, Ariza maybe..
