    Rockets still don't have that killer instinct. Spurs plain wanted this one more, Rockets just happy to have a split, and Harden still allows himself to get mentally taken out of games instead of imposing his will. Disappointing.

    I just think giving Mills more time will just give them more points ! Parker is a ghost of his past

    Losing bothers me, but it happens. But not giving effort? Manu getting rebounds inside? Simmons outscoring you? This is the type of loss that kills teams.

    Can't get outhustled in SA and expect to win. The bizarre inability to guard Simmons at the end of the 3rd and start of the 4th, along with horrible rebounding, cost us a golden opportunity to go up 2-0.

    Going to be tough to win if Hardens preferred method of defense is a slight shoulder check as the defender blows by.

    1-1 split on the road..not too bad..I expected a loss here...was competitive for 3 quarters and that's with the refs boning us constantly. Now to defend home court and get 2-0 at home.

    Seems like the Rockets where the ones who ran out of gas, and started pushing that Final Fantasy VII shiot car down the road.

    Kawhi is not a good playmaker, Rockets dominated on defense because of the lack of playmaking from the Spurs. He can be doubled without fear of him finding the open man like say Lebron or Harden.

    Mills is a good replacement though, but he wasn't what Parker can pull off sometimes like tonight.

    We should be alright, honestly, the biggest factor in this game were the refs. They won't be officiating the next game thankfully.

    Mauer is nowhere near as bad as Brothers.
