    We'll honestly blow them away at home. But the defense has been well below par the last 2 games.

    This loss is completely on Capela. He offered nothing on the defense and offense. I think we missed like 15 3pt attempts in a row in the final quarter.

    That's what happen when you play 5 smalls. They completely went away from our usual offensive sets.

    Coach Paul lifting a deflated Capela on the bench is the true sign of leadership.

    On a loose ball back tap, yes. It happens a lot.

    I mean, is it really that hard to figure it out? All rockets do is 1.lob to Capela 2. chuck threes 3. Harden ISO. Take one or two of those options away, and the Rockets are instantly in trouble. This is the problem with getting hung up with 'efficiency'; you lose diversity and get cornered easily by elite defensive teams.

    This loss is on Capela and the bench. Half the team didn’t show up today. You aren’t beating the Jazz on home court with the refs swallowing the whistle on one side.

    Just remember guys, this isn't the end of the season. I understand y'all are upset, but just go get a good night sleep and let's be ready for next game. No need to trash the team when they were in it most of the night. No one goes 16-0 in the playoffs.

    Obvious adjustments need to be made, like rebounding better, but we will be okay.

    well, wouldn't you rather split the away games and win all the home games ? if we did that, we will win the title

    Rockets don’t really have a HCA, typically a weak crowd. Add on the fact that Mitchell seems to be breaking out of slump, Capela is in major slump, and MDA’s big chess move was to go small with...House, and I’m nervous re: G5.

    We should win, a 1-15 run doesn’t happen in Houston at least, but I can still see this series going 6 or 7.

    Play Shump for the love of God... at least get someone who can at least stick in front of someone.

    The bench played horrific... i mean, wow.

    Getting scored 32 to 12 by Utah is down right pathetic.

    Whatever, off to H-Town.

    nobody is watching the NBA if their teams aren't playing. This years NBA tv ratings and the current playoffs are trash

    Get rid of the NBA and bring in the nhl

    Utah are pretty much taking away the paint & daring anyone that's not Harden to beat them. Can see more teams following the blueprint.

    Capela was also a disgrace tonight. Why the **** was he even on the floor? It was still a winnable game if he actually bothered to show up.

    Harden needs to close this **** out next game... Our fans better get loud, my god the Jazz fans are annoying, acting like they just won a championship, they better enjoy that one win cuz that's the last time they'll see their team play this season.

    5 point from the bench only on rivers. GG & House should never ever step on the court in game 5
