    A preview of playoff Harden. I'm gonna start calling him Hardichoke.

    Why are people praying for 3rd seed, it's like you want to play OKC in the first round. I'd rather stay 4th and play the Jazz.

    Yeah, told the wife this wasn't a good matchup for the Rocks... something about that franchise from the time they were in Seattle...

    i kept saying to myself for the last 2 possessions just go for the foul, go for the foul... why don't the coaches ever think to go for the deliberate foul??

    If portland wins tonight and tomorrow, they will tie us and they have the tiebreaker. We fall to 4.

    I agree, multiple choke job in this game, from the coach to some players

    That was a classic Houston sports fail right there. Embarrassing! If we don't sweep whoever we play in the first round... that just means we don't have a heart of an champion.

    I blame all you confident assholes that laughed at Denver's strategy. Your bad karma go to Jim's clutch genes tonight.

    I think the Rockets beat the Thunder in a series, but it's the worst possible matchup. Physical where both teams get beat up. Clinching the 2nd seed and potentially pushing OKC to 8th to face the Warriors ... this was a golden opportunity lost.

    What a ****ing shame. Wasting James' prime years with this team.

    They played like chokers... this game they were lucky that few calls went in their favor..yet they found a way to choke...leading by 3 point they gave Westbrook free lay up with no contest and took away maybe only 1 sec. of time followed by Harden's free throw miss.

    How PJ left George wide open at the 3pt line late in that scramble - is beyond me.....we had so many breakdowns.

    PJ throws the ball away late, Harden misses the FT and the wide open last minute shot, and we leave George wide open......not to mention the panic we displayed in the 4th.

    This team is just not mentally tough enough....
