    Absolutely pissed. I cannot believe how stupid and mentally weak we just looked. They deserve to get flamed by the media...especially this idiot coach.

    How did you feel about the coaching? I thought it was very MDA like no adjustments, no push for team urgency and no vision of the consequences.

    Outstanding!

    Christ, this site turns into a depressive ward after a loss. The Rockets lost because they choked away open shot opportunities and forgot to play defense or box out. Bzedlik will show them this, will stop playing Gordon when he's got his head up his ass, and all will be right again.

    Damned if they couldn't have used this win though, and shoved Denver's tanking strategy right up their ass.

    4th seed for the Rockets would suck. Utah is not an easy out in the first round. They've been really good.

    I'm ambivalent about playing GSW in the second round. You have to beat them sooner or later anyway.

    He was very good with timeouts.

    Not his fault eric Gordon completely sabotaged the game and harden missed a free throw.

    He also got harden a wide open look to win the game.

    And you guys were so hyped after they blew out a bunch of bad/mediocre teams. This is what the Rockets still look like against a good defense.

    The Rockets can drop the 4 if Portland wins out. Portland has the tiebreaker and we are tied in the loss column.

    Well...the Lakers with a furious push to take the lead on Portland. I’ll take the 3 or even 2 with some help.
