    NBA officiating thought Capers could ref with these two new refs. Nope.

    I swear no Rocket better mention that shot with the missed dunk.... That is not why you lost. You lost because you suck. You don't play defense. Your stats couldn't shoot and your franchise player settles for looks over function in crunch time. I hope the guys who were here for 17-18 appreciate that run because they will never sniff the WCF again.

    Harden with probably the ugliest 50 point game I’ve seen

    11-38 from Harden...7-30 from Russ...trash refs...lackluster D

    it’s too much to overcome...for some reason, I’m not even mad...on to the next one

    Well, the Harden haters are going to have fun with this one.

    Seriously, when people talk about Harden like he's the greatest scorer ever -- watch this game and see all the holes in his offensive repertoire exposed. When the threes aren't falling, and there is good rim protection, he's quite limited in the moves he can make. Still no mid-range game whatsoever.

    You can always count on Mike choking it away against Pops.

    Hehehe

    Harden ball hog, Westbrook lost, and defense is terrible.

    Combination of Harden depending totally on the refs and the refs making sure if they make a call it's against Harden.

    Pop beat Dantoni in an elimination game with no kawhi or tony Parker.

    Dumtoni stays losing with superior players.

    Harden should not shoot early with lead and left more time for spurs to make the last shoot

    Refs worse than nba normal. Totally got sucked into the crowd. The way the game was called was strictly on crowd immediate reaction. Unprofessional to say the least.

    Just a regular season game, but that’s embrassing. Hopefully they get it together next one against the raptors

    Harden needs a midrange game for these situations.

    His style of play is highly effective throughout games but in crunch time, we gotta find ways to get buckets and not leave fate in the hands of the refs to call a foul.

    Harden had a midrange stepback or floater there had he wanted it instead of going all the way into the teeth of the defense.

    This game pretty much sums up Harden's Rockets career...can't win without him...can't win with him.
