I knew we were still going to lose even after Garcia hit that three.

Parsons had a stupid TO. Harden had two stupid TO's. Harden also bricked 2 FT's. I don't understand how we let Durant take that pull up three pointer, he LOVES that shot in these situations. I don't care how much we contest that..pressuring him and forcing him to put it on the floor with his head down was the reason he was worse in that 2nd half.

Proud of the Rockets performance tonight. I hope that they come into game 4 with some fire and something to prove.

After tonight I can no longer support Kevin Durant. Dude is a freaking jackass.

Ibaka - that dude is freaking awesome! Dude just creates a presence on the court.

Martin - sue me....I still like the guy.

Fisher - despise the guy almost as much as a Jazz player, but can't go that far.

Down 0-3. Looking forward to what this team can do!

Now you're being ridiculous. How do you stop someone from attempting a pull up 3 from top of the key? How do you prevent a 7 footer from shooting a contested 3 off the dribble? If that shot rimmed out you would be singing a different tune.

Durant was worse because he missed shots. He missed alot of pullups in 2nd half.

You can contest his shots, you cant stop him from shooting 3s.


All in all not a terrible game. Its a learning experience for our guys. Im pissed at the results but im pleased by the effort and the fighting spirit.

I didnt expect us to advance anyway.

Return to Houston Rockets
