    How was that a jump ball??????????????????? HARDEN WAS YELLING TIME OUT OUT... I'm so ****ing pissed.

    McHale is terrible at subbing and line ups.

    WHY WASNT ARIZA ON DEROZAN?!!!!

    18 seconds and we settle for two off balance fadeaway threes by Ariza when we have Harden out there..

    At least try for a quick two or something! McHale threw this game away.

    Putting Harden on DeRozan.
    Taking out Capela when he was the only big getting rebounds.
    Taking out Prigs when he was actually playing well.

    I want to rewatch that final play, but honestly, looked like really bad. As well as the last 1on1 on Derozan, having Ariza, who has saved you some games, recently with 1on1 stops even over Chris Paul.

    Very understandable loss. But very winnable in the end. McHale gotta be better than that for the end of the games at playoffs if Rockets want to do something.

    That was not on Brewer as a PG you always look to get the ball coming up the floor, Terry is not a PG and doesn't want to bring the ball up. He should've never been in the game

    Relax Clutchfans.

    Some of you get hysterical over a back-to-back game with no Howard, D-Mo, Jones, or Bev.

    You guys just wasted my 31st post in almost 13 years!!!

    Can someone explain why Harden wasn't given this timeout? Was the crowd noise too loud for the refs to hear or what?

    I don't think this was on Harden...as much as it should be on McHale, Terry should not have played at the end based upon this game. Capela should have stayed in longer!!!!

    Why wasn't Ariza guarding DeRozan at the end of the game? Harden played one of his worst games of the season. The Rockets had many chances to take control of the game, but sloppy turnovers, second chance points for the Raptors, and missed open shots killed them. I have a feeling this loss will come back to haunt the Rockets.

    great teams are also 50 wins in and lose games, you make it sound as if winning all games is a prereq to being a great team...

    get out of here

    Because Harden wanted to guard him... if you mvp if you a superstar you make key defensive stops unless your a fake mvp like Steve Nash or something. Champions make plays in the crunch on both ends. Derozen got him but it ain't over let this loss sink in. Get better and prepare for this in playoffs so it doesn't happen there.

    Clint Capela needs to stay in the Rotation hands down! We will have 1 deadly rotation if Capela can keep laying like tonight with DMO,Jones and Howard back in the lineup. Making a few more free throws would've helped tonight.

    Arica played the entire second half but didn't guard derozan once. No rim protection when Capella came out the game.

    Great teams lose games too. At least 10 a season for as long as I can remember.

    This sucked, but let's keep a little perspective.

    Lesson for Mchale or Harden(depends on who called for the pick). Don't call for a screen in the last possession of the game where you want your best scorer taking the shot because they will just double hard on the Harden.

    Derozan went off on Harden last season too......

    McHale didn't learn that Harden is too small to guard him. Stupid not to have Ariza on him.
