Beat by Danny Green and a Sloppy Beard, damn.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Hell of an OT for Harden, well done.

A lot of terrible plays down the road. If there's any hope, we still have 2 more opportunities.

MDA should also consider playing Harrell. We could use a body just to have someone in the paint. Really need at least 8 guys playing.

For some reason this team always play down a level when facing opponent has injured player or against scrub. That's why there is always scrub having career night against the team.

I still can't get over the fact we only played 7 guys all night. That's absurd. No reason Dekker and Harrell shouldn't get at least a few minutes.

We lose Nene and decide to shorten the rotation?

Pop is like that before, but he now trust young player from time to time. Green (when he was a rookie), George Hill, Murray, Simmons, to name a few. Veteran coach like D'Antoni and Adelman don't really trust young players in playoff. You can tell from their playoff history in Phoenix and Sacramento. Agreed with someone in General Board. GSW is the winner. Both team are beaten down and they are facing injured Spurs or Rockets in the next round.

D'Antoni only played 7 guys, what happened to Harrell to fall out of the rotation in the playoffs? Can't say I'm surprised though Mike D'Antoni and Tom Thibodeau are honestly the two worst coaches in the league at doing this type of stuff.

I'm surprised if they ain't using Harrell. He'd impressed and the Rocks need DTeam/Hustle. As a GSW guy.... I know we tend to have more problem with the Spurs.. but I think Houston can beat the Spurs.

So...Kawhi is out, the Rockets are at home, and no doubt they will be motivated and want to rebound after that horrible OT loss, and specifically Beard I would think is due to ball out after his pathetic effort in that OT.

Also, surely Mikey D will give Dekker and Harrell some minutes after realizing how stupid it is to only play a seven man rotation.

All signs point to Houston forcing this series to game seven.

Therefore, I predict we get blown out.*

Go Rockets!
