    House only had to hit his FTs and this was over.

    This is true too. They helped OKC out a lot today.

    Absolutely screwed by the refs from the first quarter. Doris sucks also

    They are thirsty to continue a series narrative. Wouldn't be much to talk about if we were up 3-0.

    I told you guys all year that Gordon is declining - he is just not that good, been declining for at least a year - he has moments but is now selfish and is a below average 3pt shooter who thinks he is still good at it, he isn't.

    Eric Gordon needs to chill on those super long 3s. 24 shots 18 points. Calm the **** down.
    Mclemore had no shot attempt until OT until the game was out of hand. Unacceptable coaching.
    Covington 19 minutes when he's our best overall defender and our ONLY rim protector?

    I know Jeff Green was ballin and he deserved to stay in the game but you gotta sub PJ out. He wasn't doing anything.

    We need to shoot the ball much better. Cant continue to shoot like hot garbage from deep & expect to win, the defense has been there all series but the offense needs to pick up. Wonder if Westbrook will play next game, at this point you gotta play him.

    That man flops or trips over his own feet way too much. He's always done it. I'm tired of seeing him flop. I wish we would've kept Lou instead.

    this one hurts. the refs ultimately stole it from us, but we had a chance to steal it back up 5 with the ball with 1:30 left and missed and then schroder hits a face up 3. then we were up 5 and gave up 2 layups. then we were up 2 and just threw the ball out of bounds. then we still had a free throw to win it and bricked it. every chance in the world and harden/gordon/house just decided they weren't going to let us win. then fouling harden out for the first time all year ended it.

    Harden has to do everything. Look at these jokesters at the end without him

    House Missed FT
    House Steps out of Bounds
    Tucker throws the ball out of bounds
    Gordon Stumbles
    Harden play whiffle D
    Rockets run the Gordon only offense most of the game.

    They totally dropped the ball on this one.

    OKC's 1 little win was adorable, but it'll be back to regular scheduled programming in game 4...

    That would have been a great move. Hell with the defense we need a guy we can really depend on.

    James Harden missed 4 FTs tonight..... How? Was Dort guarding him at the FT line?
