    Is SAS passed out in his dressing room or getting his stomach pumped in the nurses station?

    Lakers uncharacteristically shooting over 50% from 3. This is still a winnable game. We need a good 3rd q

    Do Foster and the "boys" go to the Laker's locker room at half and provide further " service" ?

    Damn, Harden and Westbrook only made 3 baskets combined! Ugh

    Time to get back in gear.

    I miss pre pandemic and quad injury Russ. Putrid game right now.

    Ben McLemore should get some burn in the westbrook led line ups.

    Still trust this team to make it a closer game, even with the refs making some very questionable calls.

    This kind of thing will keep happening and there will never be any accountability so long as people keep watching.

    Rockets will go on a run. The problem is we can't get any stops. The lakers will eventually cool down. EGo has kept us in the game. It's time for Hargod to show up

    Fix the defense. Make a couple of runs and may be able to bounce back. WB needs to play off the ball.

    The Lakers did this exact same thing the first time we played them after the trade. They doubled Harden. Westbrook went off by driving to the basket and attacking with the mid range as well. Right now he's just sitting in the corner. We have to get him active in the middle.

    I just dont understand why WB cannot play with simplest of IQs. I mean this a very winnable game and he is single handledly giving the game the lakers. I would even accept him shoot mid range jumpers every time he is in the middle of the floor. Live ball turnovers and being baited to shoot 3s is NOT ACCEPTABLE. This cannot be in the rockets plans. Our turnovers where not this high in first series, but WB is turnover waiting to happen now. CAN YOU SLOW DOWN WB?

    Rockets still win this game. LA is not beating us, we are beating ourselves [WB].
    I hope they figure it out in the locker room.

    You have to start a confrontation to force the refs to call nut punches.

    The thing that makes me happy though is that EG is back, thank god.
    He scored 15 points points on 5 of 9 shooting along with 2 assists.
