We're done. Dipo is not even part of the game.

So we go on a 7-0 run and the refs reward Harden with a 3pt shooting foul.

Terrible effort. Just awful.

Harden ref baiting again. This time the morons in stripes, finally, didn't fall for it.

If Oladipo hadn't fallen asleep on Nene's shot clock heave from 18-feet, which lead to Houston offensive rebound and two FTs and two points for the Rockets, and if the refs hadn't called yet another highly shameful, highly embarrassing three-shot foul in Harden's favor, we'd actually be up by six right now.

I feel for Russ. He's just so good, but the organisation around him is just so...not good. Not good at all. He's doing everything he can, and I can easily see them pulling away in the 4th. God I love Russ though.

Adams gets the ball three feet from the basket with a clear size advantage and bricks a shot. On the ensuing Rockets possession, Nene steals even more of his soul by scoring on him...again.

Not a good shot, Russ. He's already running out of gas.

Thank you Sam Presti. Thank you Billy Donovan.

We have literally built a team that, against playoff competition, cannot rest their bst player or we get run out of the building.

That start to the fourth quarter:

2-minutes, 45-seconds. Houston was +10. Granted, Lou **** an absurd, lucky three, and ref-baited his way to a 3-shot foul.

Fire Donovan please. Don't want him anymore.

OMG Oladipo. Worst extension signing EVER.

I like how Donovan always sticks with these lineups that get killed and expects Russ to make up for everything by himself.

The Rockets had the luxury of resting Harden for the first 4.5 minutes of the 4th quarter as his team turned a five point deficit into a three point lead.
