    Good game minus 5 starters. They aren't as big of a threat as I thought they would be.

    Hey, relax guys. Rockets gave a great effort, showed a lot, just ran out of gas. The team will be okay. Soon, Dwight.

    I hate when people complain about refs. But that was horrible officiating and obvious home cooking. Two missed fouls on Harden 3's. Gtfo.

    Between that and 5 injured players this game was too hard to win.

    Not impressed by the Warriors.

    Would you consider this a rivalry yet?

    I wouldn't. Both teams were fully healthy last year and we massacred them most of the time. I'm sure they take pleasure in beating us because of our history when their coach was Mark Jackson, but them revelling in beating us like this is like us cheering after beating San Antonio in November. Take it for what it's worth, but the Rockets you see now won't be the ones you fight come playoff time.

    We'll be ok. Harden was great and Dmo was good. Bev and Ariza were so-so. Portland lost to Minnesota tonight so that makes me feel better. :cool:

    Worst thing about this loss is that no one will see how injured the Rockets were. Rockets are going to come back full strength and will be a Problem... We would have crushed the Warriors with just one more healthy body..

    At least Rocket still under the radar.

    Pap would have gotten a couple steals... probably make a difference this game.

    I've never hated the Warriors, but I'm starting to. They got away with murder in the 4th quarter. No, a lot of those entry passes to D-Mo weren't very smooth, but when their players can reach over the back and shove him out of the way every time and there's no whistle, even Dream couldn't catch that ball without turning it over.

    Me either! They aren't as good as their record indicates. Our team fully healthy would have won tonight even with Bogut playing

    You don't know that. Nobody knows who will be healthy and who won't.

    That game wasn't really about the frontcourt in my opinion. We were really hurt by not having Cannan and Kostas. Whereas, they're completely healthy in the backcourt.

    I didnt realize they were on a 14 game win streak. Makes sense why they were so crazy this game.

    I am over it. I knew we would lose by at least ten after seeing the spread. This game was like three wins or losses imo. They get the tie breaker in a tough wc.

    That's BS. This was a winnable game. terry with an awful shooting night. the old DMo making a reappernce and getting shut down by green in the 4Q. that's a matchup he has to own. this was a game where the rockets needed him to show up.

    Not even mad at this loss. To many bodies injured. A team can only do so much down as many bodies as we are. Good effort though. Ran out of gas.

    I'm not upset with the Rockets. I figured they'd lose tonight. It's a shame though that the officiating was so one-sided, cuz they had a shot at winning this one.
