    Is this just another game where harden was playing too selfish, or no defense or something else?

    SMH . . .the Refs got us again

    The Refs dictating the pace of the game
    The Refs dictating the shots the Rockets can get unmolested
    The Refs dictating the spur's ease of getting a shot or a call in their favor

    and they still only won by 13

    Some will say I don't make these points when we win
    I am pretty sure I made these points through out the whole OKC series

    The Rockets HAVE NOT gotten favorable calls in any game in any series this year
    they have literally had to over come the Refs . . .some times the tilt is 6/4 against the rockets
    but days like today it is like 8/2

    The Rockets are the only team expected to be PERFECT in order to get a win

    I love Anderson as a person, but he is truly terrible. Even Dante Cunningham or Anthony Tolliver would be more effective than he would be. Now don't get me started on this spacing BS, you can start Isaiah Taylor and you'll get spacing any way you want it.

    Great game by the Spurs. Yeah refs weren't great but they were suffocating on defense - forcing us off the perimeter into the paint where Pau & LMA were waiting for the block. Really really need Anderson to play better if we want to win G4.

    As an aside, Harden put up good stats but he played some awful basketball until about halfway in 3rd. It sucks not knowing when your MVP is going to show up. We need to get a lead build it and keep it early.p

    The Spurs have figured the Rockets out. I'm surprised, but they have. If the Rockets don't hit threes, they're going to get run over.

    What shocks me is that the Rockets don't have more success around the basket. Harden drives, Nene/Capela baskets off those drives... that is what really opens my eyes.

    Lou Williams only 10 minutes tonight (0-4 shooting). Ryan Anderson the same 0-4 ... in 30 minutes. Ouch.

    Spurs were absolutely awful the first half. If the historically good offense of the Rockets showed even a modicum of competence in that half, they're up 15 points at least going into halftime. Instead, down 4.

    That's the game.

    I'm shocked the Spurs shut us down scoring. We have to pick n roll them to death and they can actually defend that?!

    I hope Harden goes apeshit on the podium over the refs. He looked pissed enough to do it

    Shooting 46% in game one isn't overperforming.

    It kind of sucks, because I think Houston matches up with GSW better than the Spurs do.
