    Harden came back in the 4th around 6 mins mark, then start playing heavy ISO, slow down the pace. Yeah we shot the horribly tonight, but we played good D in the 3rd and got back took the lead.

    But Kawhi and Manu also missed 2 straight free throws each down the stretch. The Spurs gave the Rockets plenty of chances to close.

    The lose is on Harden, it's like that. You gotta be better in the clutch. Again.

    That was a clean charge taken by Ginobili, in fact he was there pretty early and Trevor should've been able to see him but well...can't say anything to Trevor, he did an amazing game overall

    d'antoni offense got us the 13 point lead.

    Old Harden Iso got us the lost.

    I hope this serve as a remainder that the old way of playing ball have to go.

    Ariza and Harden literally threw the game away.

    Unbelievable.

    That's good experience for this team.

    The guys need to slow it down. Use your brain.

    Can't really say more. Rockets choked. Harden played awful down the stretch. Gordon did a better job running the point.

    MDA is a fault as well for not calling a TO. So obsessed with pace. Just call the TO and settle you're guys. You just had an awful offensive position and then the next trip down you have TO that lead to a score. Call a damn TO
