This is just another reminder that we could have had Harden for almost nothing, but y'all still had hurt feelings because he didn't like Stephen Silas.

Be sure to come back when he refuses to shoot and looks dejected later in this series.. Don't disappear when he checks himself out of the game and puts a towel over his head, sulks and quits on his team.
Reasons for optimism:
Rockets were 30-11 at home and 22-19 on the road this season. Lakers are shooting 49% from 3 through the first two games - that's unsustainable.
Reasons for negativity:
Lakers are playing harder and smarter than us so far. Ime hasn't shown us he can make adjustments needed in the playoffs so if this continues. They limited Durant to 3 points in the second half last night.

BREAKING: Austin Reaves has been upgraded to QUESTIONABLE for tomorrow's Game 3 between the Lakers and Rockets.

Anybody going to the game tonight? Got a group that will be at Biggio's around 5 for pregame debauchery

Preach it, brother.
Here are some recent playoff elimination game FG numbers for Harden:

2020 Game 7: Houston 104, OKC 102: 4-15 FG
2017 Game 6: San Antonio 114, Houston 74: 2-11 FG ( the game that destroyed most Rockets fans' psyche)
String of bad luck for Durant -- tendon bruise suffered in practice that sidelined him for Game 1, now an ankle sprain suffered in Game 2 holding him out following swelling and around-clock treatment -- after being healthy all season. https://t.co/j6vjAuWgoC

Lol
Welp, that's the season
You think MJ, Kobe, or LeBron would not play down 2-0 in a must win in the playoffs…

Are you proposing a trade for Anthony Davis?
Just dropping in to say Durant is a sip and a punk
They literally waited for the Lakers bench to scream at them and then blew the whistle 5 seconds after the play
why is Holiday playing over Reed, dude sucks
Absolute embarrassment. Stone and Udoka need to be gone.
it's a weird irony that 3 of OKC's all-time greatest player are 3 of my least-favorite Rockets of all time.
Plenty of opportunities to have taken the lead here but our offense is a joke
I mean he's old as hell but how the hell was that not a foul on Greens drive… can you not challenge those plays?
Marcus smart is allowed to kick the ball off the court after a free throw went in
The lakers have 28 points this half and the rockets have managed to take a whopping 4 point lead
LBJ giving it away
Are you ****ing kidding me? How stupid are we

How long do you want to ignore this user?

****ING KILL ME.
I ****ing hate this team
THAT stupid
The biggest choke of the season
Reed 5/18 shooting with 5 critical turnovers. Unreal
Reed 5/18 shooting with 5 critical turnovers. Unreal
All time choke loading. Don't let Shepard take on LeBron.
The jokes just write themselves with this ****ing team
Saw the Sengun prayer coming a mile away there
Game winning shot attempt is a Sengun hook shot trapped along the baseline off the side of the backboard
I hope we lose so it's obvious we need to fire Ime
That was an impressive choke job right there
Houston sports teams are cursed
Prolonging the inevitable
