CJ isn't doing much this game. Kind of disappointed in what he's brought to the game.

 

[Po'sFinest]

Man Aminu is so garbage

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Dammit Aminu..................

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Imagine if Aminu realized that its okay to jumpstop...that you dont have to leave your feet every time you pick up your dribble.

 

[Haakzilla]

...that looked like a two by Ariza

Not untouchable anymore?

 

[julius]

I didn't think Harden had 29, he has 23. I wonder if I heard it wrong, or if Fratello is a dumbshit.

 

[Sinobas]

What kind of defense is that exactly? stand and watch the opposing player make a layup?

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I just don't see Houston's style of play translating to playoff success.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

DAMN! Nurk!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurkic has done a lot of different good things on defense tonight.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Dame's at 22/10 right now.

 

[LuckyShot]

Feels like we need to get stabbed to get a foul call.

 

[Darkwebs]

Harden tried flopping on the defensive end. LOL

 

[Sinobas]

What Dantoni wants the refs to call a foul because the rockets fall down?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I love/hate the chutzpah on guys like D'antoni and Doc Rivers, who get their nuts slurped all the time, questioning calls that don't go their way.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Jesus! No foul on Dame??? Glad he made them pay for it....

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk gotta pick a better spot there.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'll give Harden props, dudes eurostep is prime Manu good.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Fuck the Rockets, their fans, and their city with all my testicles

 

[Sinobas]

I hope CJ has a great 4th, that will seal the game for us.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Does Aminu know that it is legal just to hold the ball and look for a pass; you don't need to dribble first.

 

[SIeepwalker]

The Lillard Buldozer

Obviously. In fact, I hope they trade him before the game ends.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I want to give Aminu 100 kittens and then kill one every damn time he dribbles the damn ball, leaving its furry carcass in his shoe.

Both are the most overrated coaches ever. Take away Doc winning with Boston (because Ainge is a mad genius), what has he done?

 

[Sinobas]

The rockets flop more than any team in the league, and the refs always buy it. Like when Beverly grabbed Nurk's hand, then flopped and the called the foul on Nurk. Isn't it obvious to the refs?

 

[Haakzilla]

...it never has before, Phoenix Suns 2003-08 where are you? Not to mention I don't call him Choke Hard(en) for nothing! Guy has a penchant for shrinking during every big game -- you'd likely have to go back to high school or earlier to find him actually making a winning difference in a meaningful game.

Underachieve with a loaded team in LA for several years?
