Rockets (38-20) at Celtics (41-17) Game #59 2/29.20

[tenn_smoothie]

Our offense and shot selection has been incredibly poor this half.

We have been careless with the ball, loose dribbling in traffic. Need to crank the defensive intensity back up come the 4th quarter. Put the clamps on them. I would hate to lose this one, for many reasons. First, it's the Rockets, the team doing the most to destroy the game of basketball. Second, I hate James Harden - his main goal in life is to be cool. To me, he is a clown show. Third, we had a 17 point lead. Fourth, we need to cement our 2-way tie in the standings with Toronto. Finally, I'd hate to lose the first home game after such a great road trip. Also, did I mention that I hate the Rockets, Dantoni and Harden ?

9-26 from three.

Even gonna try and defend Westbrook?

It's absolutely incredible they can't go inside on this team

I know Hayward has 16 points, but man this entire quarter he's been real sluggish

He needs to play with more confidence

I don't know why Brad is playing Romeo.  He got torched twice in the first half despite some other good defensive plays.  Made a big mistake there by shading Harden to his left - the direction Harden wants to go.

This is harsh. I thought Romeo looked like a grizzled vet playing great defensively while he has been out there

He got blown by twice in the first half - each time the Rockets got an and-1.

In what world is there no foul for Tatum there, you blind zebras?! Pathetic and incompetent.

Do you expect Brown and Smart to play 48 minutes?

[esel1000]

So Tatum was whacked... but yes let’s keep calling ticky fouls for Westbrook on the other end...

[RockinRyA]

why cant we get a call?

[Ogaju]

Tatum needs the plastic covering for his new tattoo back on. I think he played  better with that plastic covering the  new tattoo on the back of his shoulders.

Tatum is forcing it tonight.

[Phantom255x]

What a garbage quarter. Hayward in particular was just awful. Killed momentum so many times

[knuckleballer]

I would have liked to see what Kanter could do against this team
