Hopefully it's just a calf strain.

I keep wondering how we'll do if we manage to get past these guys.

By the way... I ran some calculations, and after we went like 10-14, we finished the season with an 8 point differential over the remaining games, which puts us slightly behind Milwaukee.

What the hell did we do at the end? Sooooo undisciplined

What the hell has happened to Capella? Dude is worse than useless right now.

Butter hands. Won't rebound. Durant is out. Green is out. Yet still can't capitalize. This team is such a tease and infuriating to root for.

He's completely shook when Draymond is on the court. Every series.

Magnificent game by Harden.
His poise and performance tonight was amazing. Love how he kept the team calm even when the Warriors went on their runs and how he kept looking for his teammates even when they weren't knocking down shots.
Any help from Eric, Chris or Clint and Houston wins easily.

As it stands this is a missed opportunity by the Rockets. Can't give these away.

Still....Rockets

This team needs way more athleticism to compete with anyone

Not sure if they reviewed it but I think just barely gets rid of the ball before he lands out of bounds (big step back gave him time to get rid of it). It’s really close (even frame by frame) but I think would be hard to overturn if not called out. As for the review, I’m not sure if they could because the play was still going, there was no foul, and a score involved.

Not sure. But regardless, I thought the Rockets had plenty of opportunities to come back. It's truly unfortunate because the game was really at the tip of their grasp. Too many mistakes in that quarter.

I'm sure this will show up in the LTMR and probably that Eric Gordon was fouled during the scrum as well.
All moot points either way.

He’s not, ruled out for the series (mild calf strain). Will be a real dogfight.

i think the rockets are making a huge mistake playing nene and shumpert over house and faried dont know if they have health issues . ill take house and faried over nene and shumpert any day of the week .if faried looks bad on defense is just the way rockets play defense they play the center guarding their guards at the 3 point line i hate that gives the opponents a chance to miss the shot and get the offensive rebound

D’antoni is dramatically underestimating Faried’s responsibility for our turnaround in the second half of the season.

I agree free Faried. He can OWN the warriors.
