and just like that, it's a 1 point game.

No lead is safe vs Houston until 0:00 left in the 4th 

[Rockethorn1978 6154]

I feel a Ryan Anderson barrage of threes coming in the second half.

[TexArcher 38449]

KAT playing so great.  So aggressive.  He's back.

2-6 from the floor for 6 points.

That GM poll two years back of the player that they'd pick first to build a franchise around that he won sure seems like a lifetime ago.

There you go, Beard.  Take this thing over.

[UDontKnow 10515]

Missed FTs better not cost the Rockets this game.

[BigOrange1 6566]

how about missed free throws and pretty terrible defense?

[Slacks 6922]

damn spring game was 2 hours... I'm dialed in for Q4. put me in.

[UDontKnow 10515]

Seems like D'Antoni wants to hoard his timeouts for some reason. No defensive adjustments made this quarter.

[BigOrange1 6566]

gerald green has 4 fouls???  it feels like he's played 10 minute.s  

[UDontKnow 10515]

Should not keep Gerald Green and Ryan Anderson on the floor at the same time. That's two huge defensive liabilities.

[Slacks 6922]

How rude

[TexArcher 38449]

What a horrible fucking quarter.

[Slacks 6922]

I'm not convinced Anderson should play at all

[BigOrange1 6566]

feels like harden is gonna have to go the fuck off in the 4th quarter if they're gonna win this one.

He's kind of lost on the court. He needs to stick to spot up shooting. When he drives it's a bad shot or a turnover. I'm not gonna even talk about him on defense.

It feels like D'Antoni doesn't care about this game. 

[Slacks 6922]

I wouldn't burn a timeout, either. is defense the reason?

I just saw on the TV that at one point in the 3rd quarter, the Rockets had 6 TOs left. I guess defense would be part of the reason as well as yelling at the team to get its collective head out of its ass. 

[Slacks 6922]

That Harden is the one I do not like.

[UDontKnow 10515]

This game is over. I want the Rockets to prove me wrong.

[Slacks 6922]

I take it back

[MNLonghornFUKM 8921]

fucking hate him

[Slacks 6922]

how in the hell was there no foul?

[TexArcher 38449]

We're playing like shit and Minny's playing out of their minds.  10 of 20 from behind the arc.  Meh.  It's the playoffs.  We'll fuck them up Monday night.

[Teddy Tucker 18]

We got murdered the last 3 possessions with no call

[UDontKnow 10515]

He just lost the ball. It happens. But I wish Harden would spend less time complaining about the call out of bounds when play is heading 100 mph in the other direction.

[TexArcher 38449]

Wolves have committed about 45 fouls and been called for 11 of them.

Not that it matters when we're bricking free throws.

youre getting destroyed  in the paint.

[BigOrange1 6566]

count it.

Also true.

 

[BigOrange1 6566]

the fuck was that?

[BigOrange1 6566]

well that should do it.

[UDontKnow 10515]

Yup. Just a shitty team effort. They need to win the next one though. If they don't win Game 4, then it's guaranteed to be a 7 game series. I predicted 4-1, but man I wanted the sweep.

[Mack Tripper 699]

Eh, it’s one of those playoff games when an opponent is down 0-2 and hits everything they throw up. It happens. What’s annoying is that KAT is over the back on every missed shot and has been called for it once.

Go to your own Minnesota thread

[CurlyDumps 4570]

What a fucking ridiculous foul call.

noun

 

1. 1.

   This game is something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected of the Rockets. But don't worry, CP3 & The Beard will get their act together and win the next (2) contest...

[kopp0e 1135]

That's kind of a rude & un-sportsman-like push from Butler... (Just more fuel to the fire for Harden in the next game)

[UDontKnow 10515]

The Rockets need to make it a point of emphasis to focus on 3 point defense next game. 

[Chapo 104]

Another meh game from the Rockets, still havent seen their A game.

Agreed.  But, if they want to continue to turn games into 3-point shooting contests, let them.  This is one of the worst 3-point teams in the league hitting 15-25.  Anomaly indeed.

I really hope that this game will just be a blip in the radar. Because Minnesota is determined to give the Rockets the bidness from beyond the arc this game. It would not surprise me if that's their intent for Game 4.

[BigOrange1 6566]

on to game 4.

[HtownHorn 14981]

This is why I didn't like all the days off between games. Rockets haven't been in a good offensive rhythm for the past 2.5 weeks. It's ridiculous that a few series have already played 4 games in the same time the Rockets have played 3.

[Hank Kingsley 21168]

This needed to happen.  We've been coasting for weeks and time to start playing with playoff intensity in Game 4. 

 

 

[Artificial Iverson 107]

still think this is going 6 or 7 as stated earlier

[Rockethorn1978 6154]

I love the playoffs and how a team wins one game and have it figured out and thinks they can win the series. Lulzz. Houston will win 4-1.
