    Let’s not forget, EVERY team will get up to play and try to beat the Rockets. Raptors were the best in the East that ended the 17 game winning streak.

    Rockets will take them in the finals if it came down to it

    Watch the game distracted, off and on, but man why is Joe Johnson playing over Gerald Green?

    You cant shoot for the foul there. Harden has to go up with it with the aim of hitting it. Eh, we werent gonna with this out, but the Warriors have a much easier schedule than we do, and getting second seed would hurt this team in the playoffs when facing the Warriors.

    High on the priority list is getting a few games with this team at full health. That includes RA and Brandon Wright playing with everyone else.

    Could have done some things better but oh well. Cant be too mad, two ten plus winning streaks in the same season is amazing...

    Harden, Gordon and Ariza, take a bow. Harden came to play tonight, CP was average and Capela was atrocious, completely outclassed by JV.

    Wow. Heard otherwise, all day.

    Disappointing game, but playoff health please.

    Shot selection, lousy coaching by MD, 3s not falling and defense lapses cost the Rockets this game. They had the streak in their heads instead of playing the game. C'mon Portland, beat the Warriors.

    We lost this game in the 1st quarter. End of story. No excuse for you to EVER lose a single quarter by 16 points like the Rockets did. They don't get MURDERED in the 1st quarter and we win comfortably.

    Jj, Capela main culprits tonight.
    Cp3 and Tucker too
    And Harden bad clock management too.

    But if Harden has stolen that ball when we were tied instead of rozan getting a two we would have won

    MDA playing Joe Johnson to get him him shape while Green sits on the bench is idiotic

    CP3 got outplayed badly by Lowry and Vanvleet. Rockets have no shot against the Warriors if Curry vastly outplays CP3.
