    You know that feeling, where your team builds and maneuvers for years putting together a great team, and one year it finally all clicks, and you have the best record in the league, and home court advantage all through the playoffs, and then it will finally be time to beat that sack of foreskins in California.. and then after a whole season and two rounds of the playoffs, and then you finally get the bad guys on your home court in Game One of the Western Conference Finals.. and then your team goes out and gets curb-stomped yet again?

    This feels like that.

    LMM - nothing
    Ariza - nothing
    Tucker - nothing
    Capela - less than we’re used to.

    Man...

    What a bummer. Our bench just killed us. Murdered us. Tortured and maimed us. I am going off to kill and destroy other civilizations with my Viking warriors on my PC. Later.

    Dude this is DEFINITELY over. Very mega definitely over. Just playing for pride at this point. If the Rockets had any chance they wouldn't be making all of the terrible stupid boneheaded mistakes that they've been making tonight.


    -Terrible fastbreaks with a single defender back (Harden turnover turned into 2 GS free throws)
    -Leaving Nick Young wide open
    -Leaving Klay Thompson wide open
    -Eric Gordon dribbling the ball out of bounds
    -Playing Ryan Anderson for any minutes
    -Harden missing a point blank layup right at the rim that turned into an 8-0 Golden State run
    -Luc missing multiple layups

    Luc, Ariza and Tucker were a combined 1-9 from 3 tonight.


    Its a shame because Harden had 41 points and played overall a good game. Rockets don't have those extra scorers to make up for a lack of production from the guys who just stand around waiting for shots.


    Our offensive style seems to always rear its ugly head in the playoffs and it always looks so bad.

    those show-up just doesn't happen to show up, the intensity and focus for 30+ minutes is not everyone's game. we need to run some plays for others early, so they don't rush, of course that's not easy as we can see there are a lot of deflections from passes.

    If the Warriors cruise to the championship Lebron should take the vet min just to spit in the eye of all this nonsense.

    That's the ONLY way it's going to stop is if another superstar is willing to take a huge paycut to play on a super team. That's what they are doing. If this is going to be the model for championship teams the NBA should just get rid of the cap.

    If the Rockets want to increase leads Ryan Anderson needs more minutes and Harden and Chris needs to pass him the ball. Ryan Anderson was the reason the Rockets won those regular season games scoring more than 20 points. He does hit those tough shots in the corner more often.

    Think about this, Harden had 41-7-4 and Paul had 23-11-3, a combined 50% FG, and we were handed our ass on a platter.

    Several bad calls messed up a run. That back court missed was 5-6pt turn around. They get that call, it goes from down 7 to either 4-5 instead of down 10
