    Sucks how this game put the nail in the coffin for Harden's MVP campaign. It's all good.

    The only good thing about this game is that it is almost over. Among our worst efforts since we were crappy earlier in the year. Hope we can shake it off and get some momentum back before the playoffs start.

    I ain’t even mad about this game. Classic case of going ice cold. Nothing to see here.

    Bucks played a terrible last 5min or so, and somehow we played worse.

    Had we hit SOME of our wide open shots..... this would be a close game. Instead? Exactly where it was.... and we are wide open 90% of the time. My god, what a disappointment.

    Rivers needs to not be out there. I've defended him plenty of times, but he doesn't know what he wants or needs to do out on the court, and that is a major liability. You can't have someone that indecisive out there with the ball in their hands...it just adds to the chaos.

    This is been probably the most disappointing game I’ve seen in a long time.

    Despite all of the turnovers and defensive lapses, if Rox had just made a few more 3s this game would be competitive.

    Way too many wide open missed threes.

    Replacing Harden stepb back 3s with wide open 3s for role players is evidently a negative tradeoff smh

    All this game tells me is, Bucks are currently a better team than us right now. Their defense is elite, and they also play smart, efficient basketball (Bud). Fortunately, for the MVP race not sure how much stock voters should put in a game where Rockets supporting cast went ice cold while Buck's went off, particularly Eric Bledsoe. As much as i'd like to crap on Tucker for this dud of a game, he's actually shooting 38.3% (prior to today's game) from 3pt land, which is well above avg for the season, so i'll just take it he's having an off-night along with EGo, who's been playing relatively well for the month.

    Bad games happen, and I'll give some credit to Buck's D, but Tucker air balling consecutive wide open corner 3's is on him. I feel like we got sucked into Bucks game pace and played reckless, this is where CP3 should have stepped up and do what he does best, control pace. We got a lot of holes in our game, hopefully we get em all sorted by the beginning of the playoffs and hold on to the 3rd seed (can def forget about catching GSW/Den)
