    So much for OKC not having shooters

    Less Westbrick, OKC shot 9/18 from 3 point land

    Rockets less Harden shot 6/23 from 3. That's the difference

    I can't see this happening again this series.

    Yeah, that three was heavily contested. It wasn't that good of a look.

    They were 100% not calling a foul for Harden in this game for that situation, It was probably the right decision to not drive it. He would have been mugged and they would have no-called it.

    Man if harden had made it...that would have been the end of this series and MVP voters can suck it.

    Ahhh almost had it but I personally didn't like that shot. He could have attached the rim and dished out, or drawn a foul. One of the few bad decision on Hardens part in this series.

    I just don't like those 2 tough 3s when they had two chances to tie. They died by the 3 tonight. MDA probably encouraged it too.

    Not good enough...stupid mistakes cost us like not hacking roberson and switching to guard roberson instead of mcdermott. This should have been a W now this is a series , its sucks

    Harden on 5 and Bev fouled out. I think going for the 3 was good and Harden was shooting quite well and got himself a solid look.

    Good game

    Positive loss, I can deal with this.

    Only 10 assist and very close to a win

    Damn.

    Can't complain with either of those Harden shots. He's our MVP and one of the few that was hitting his shots. You want him to take those shots, pay him the money to take them. Shame that we wasted a 43 point effort from him but we shouldn't need him to score this much for us to win.

    We still haven't played even a good game, yet we had so many chances to win this game. Ariza is still a no-show (We need to look for a replacement this offseason). Our three point attack has been MIA this whole series. Defense was horrible in the first half.

    Taj Gibson isn't going to score 20 again, especially off those 16-20 footers he couldn't miss tonight.

    Got to come out and own Game 4. None of this get down by 15 and spend the rest of the game fighting an uphill battle. That's how a lesser team beats better teams.

    Harden is almost there but he is missing a little bit of discipline

    That one hurt so. Good fight, but our defense is a huge problem.

    Yeah but one of them is Roberson who's absolute garbage in the regular season.

    Except It's the same kind of shot he drilled all season.

    Again what shot after inbounds with 5 seconds left is better?

    No, it wasn't clean. Roberson was draped all over him
