    Ariza going 0-12 in an elimination game hurt.

    Refs ****ed the rockets but the rockets gave them an out as well.

    Do we really need to do this. Shooting was a joke. but the 27 threes included one stolen from Harden.

    Ok you win. Stop apologizing for the league. This is ok. It's on us.

    Or maybe it is bullshit.

    Lots of things wrong with rox.

    A. Tucker sucks offensively
    B. Stupid 3s by harden Gordon and green 3 seconds after opposing team scores
    C. No defensive rebounding
    D. No true wing 3 and D guy
    E. Harden is not passing enough and getting team mates involved unlike last year. He’s looking to score every time now.
    F. Inconsistency in lineups. Suspensions, injuries, with house, no house, etc

    Chris Paul’s control of the game is masterful and I feel like sometimes without harden the team plays better and seems more like a team in terms of distribution and controlling the flow of the game. Harden messed up that harmony tonight along with Gerald Green. Time and time again this happens. There was harmony last year. Harden was masterful at picking defenses apart with timely passing and scoring. Arizas departure hurt this team so much. So much. It’s a shame they can’t even sign house to fill that void they so badly need. Just idiotic coaching, ownership and moves from morey

    Homie, no one is apologizing for the league. Pay attention. You control what you can control. Focus on what you can control. That is all I'm saying.

    Don't u remember how all the games were close when cp3 went down? Yeah harden had to be good in the 4th to win those games. Then capela went down, the games were still close and harden was able to pull a few wins out

    I use it when I feel disrespected and refraining from calling someone a more derogatory name. To say I'm apologizing for the league after a rig job like this is disrespectful and dismissive.

    As irate as I am right now about another blown game, if the conclusion from the loss and subsequent comments by Paul and Harden is the NBA dismissing Scott Foster or at least agreeing to not assign him to Rockets' games, this loss is completely worth it.

    You do realize taking away 3 possession = the possibility of 9 points. Not to mention it gives the home team more momentum which allows them to go on preposterous runs.

    I never said the team wins without harden and just Paul alone obviously this team needs harden. I’m referring to how Paul controls the flow of the game and involves team mates. The team just plays more together and quite a contrast without harden on the floor. I’ve always been An advocate for house and he was a big part of the rockets success earlier in the year. The whole team was more aggressive but the last month or so most of the players have been passive deferring to harden almost every play. Harmony is the key and this team gasnt found it consistently.

    Absolutely T for 3 ! Don't anyone ever think that the TONE of the game wasn't set by Scott Foster. When your best player is sitting on the bench after 3 quick,ridiculous fouls...IT MATTERS !

    Seriously, just relax. Love your avatar, but you seem to pull this stuff whenever everyone disagrees with you.

    We are giving opinions on a basketball game.

    This team had plenty of harmony without Paul when they were beating the thunder, warriors, celtics , raptors and the same lakers since Paul’s return they keep losing.
