    Rox just not executing, and turning it over..oporrunity to add to 4 point lead before half...instead, turnover and fouls Chris Paul to only lead by 2. Harden needs play with more sense of urgency start to half.

    We got the lead but not comfortable at all. The last two games they've played much tighter D and we're not handling the pressure well. We need to dominate the 3rd and then pray we hold on in the 4th. I'm not feeling good about this team if it is close in the 4th.

    anyone seen Harden and Russ? MIA in the first half and somehow we're still up. But we're going to need them in the 2nd half to win this.

    They are going at Gallo pretty effectively this game. And last game, the Rockets were going at Shai relentlessly.

    When it matters the most Harden shrinks. I defend the guy so much but its hard to anymore. If he doesn't wake up and put his imprint on this game in the 2ne half I'm done.

    James Harden looks so scaring to shoot.

    Please play the game like a man. FEARLESS.

    Honestly, Dort scoring and Harden struggling is this difference in this game.

    Both should remedy that soon.

    GO ROCKETS!!!! FCK THE REFS AND THE FOUL DISPARITY, TAKE THIS SHT!

    If only Dort were missing his shots.....the lead would be bigger

    happy to have the lead though.

    Need a massive third quarter

    Those were just examples. How about letting an NBA player spin the laces on warm-up jumpers. Or guys attempting to block 3 point shots (which they rarely do) and giving up blow bys. Players committing fouls that kill you because they don't understand time, situation and score. Is this 100% on D'Antoni? No it's not. But its pretty clear that the Rockets are not a well coached team.
