    Ariza is so trash. We're gonna get killed in the playoffs by good teams when they trap Harden/CP3 and we have to rely on our role players to make the play.

    Has been terrible this game. A lot of really boneheaded plays on this team tonight and Harden's complete dismantling when he gets double-teamed should have been corrected long ago. Right now all it takes to destroy this team is to double-team or press Harden, thats all. I do not for the life of me understand why this hasn't been addressed already after the Spurs last playoffs, its going to be coming .

    Ariza is not the same player this season. I can live with him struggling shooting, but his defense has been subpar this year. Luc over Ariza to close out games

    Rockets really don’t care about this game. I guess they don’t care about knocking them down in the seedlings.

    Really sloppy play, but again, my biggest concern for the Rockets is their three-point shooting. 3-11 now in the second half... not enough attempts.

    Granted, Eric Gordon (and to a lesser extent Ryan Anderson) are a big part of that, but there should be enough shooters here even without them.

    Joe Johnson, man... it's not been a good ride so far.

    Utah/New Orleans at the 4/5 seed would be good

    My biggest concern is James Harden quitting when the going gets tough.

    I think our roleplayers will fulfill their roles, but we ain't winning anything If Harden can't be tougher.

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if Harden loses the MVP to Lebron because of post-allstar break performances. Harden just throwing it away right now, not even trying.

    Harden always quits when the going get tough, never going to change.

    Huh??? Harden almost got injured several times this game. And for what, "integrity" of the game? Give them rest. These last games don't mean anything anyway.
