    Harden is the idiot that wanted that POS Russ on his team lobbied and basically mandated the trade i'd bet. Westbrook is just and abortion of a shooter and played pretty stupid all game except for a play here and there.

    Yeah this never should have gone to OT because of that fluke Harden dunk, but man Harden was ASS tonight when it counted

    Once they stopped feeding Capela, the Spurs had a chance. I think Hakeem turned off the TV after the team decided to go bombs away.

    It's only the 2nd loss to a sub .500 team in the end. Shouldn't have been a loss, even with the poor play from Harden and Russ, but it is what it is.

    Worse than the Miami game. Season is long, but damn westbrook just through the good shot selection out of the window and is just slinging horrible shots and bricking them all.

    No need to get mad. 82 games.

    Like you said, on to the next one.

    Half the teams in each conference make the playoffs anyway. We will be in the mix whether we won this game or not.

    No, Westbrook is getting old and is a horrific shooter. There is a reason teams were not lining up to trade for him.

    So, the Rockets lost this game themselves. They also had it stolen by a terrible call that would have mattered but we all dismiss because they blew a 20-pt lead. Neither is acceptable.

    But, can we just stand and gawk at how atrociously bad NBA refereeing is? Not even the individual calls or the individual refs, but just the system itself. The refs must have spent a whole quarter of time by themselves in front of their stupid monitor on the side of court reviewing God only knows what. Like, of course, the League doesn't want a clean, accurate, precise system of reffing with enough refs on the court to actually see things and cameras backing that up. It can't bend things if everything's locked down. But, come on. This is so bad and so stupidly implemented. It's hard to take these games seriously just because the rules are so malleable during the 48+ minutes of play on any day between any two teams.

    Please, no. The refs missed two violations against the Rockets that resulted in baskets for us -- an over and back, and Harden recovering the ball from out of bounds. Can't look to the refs as a reason for this loss. You don't blow a lead like that without it being your fault ultimately.

    When James Harden retires I will always add 2 points to his scoring total.

    The refs sucked just like they always do but we still should've won by 20. I was hype as hell when we signed Russ but all these mid range bricks turned me against him. He don't care either. He just keeps tossing bricks. I thought Paul was washed up but Russ is just not a smart player. Harden missed Tucker all by himself in the corner too.

    honestly he stiill bricked everything when he did drive, so what's the difference. Harden relies on his 3's to be effective, without it he's only an average finisher because he only drives in a straight line and can easily get blocked.

    Oh, HERE we go. FIRE the coach because we lost a game.
    You want us to jettison a coach with a .700 winning percentage since he's been here.

    Yes, the question has been asked.
    DO tell, who's your replacement to supplant the 2nd winningest coach in the NBA over past 3 seasons?
    I'd love to hear your answer

    There's missed calls every game, every quarter, every minute.

    There has never been a miss of a ball going through a hoop. It shouldn't happen. Period.

    You protest and cry about it to the league, that **** works. Cuban and Phil Jackson prove it works, if you sit there and take it they'll continue with these BS calls against your team.
