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

[RJ87]

no, Hubie, I will not give Houston credit. They are a joke. We (and Houston's referee friends) gave the game away.

They've beat us like 5 or 6 time in a row. It's time to give them credit.

it's equally frustrating that the rockets got touch foul calls in OT and that the celtics played awful offense their last couple possessions.

That foul we lost on should've offensive on Harden...

[RPGenerate]

PJ Tucker played like a boss tonight...dude was physical and simply out-hustled us for rebounds.

It's easy to look like that when Brown and Hayward play like betas.

[SHAQATTACK]

This is a bad loss. Should have won this.

yeah ....this was not good for confidence

just not ready for prime time ....people got to step up .  letting this team without a center beat us twice is unacceptable.....i d ring CBS skinny little neck

[SCeltic34]

Way to walk the ball up Tatum.  Waste all of that clock.

I don't mind that at all. Run the clock down to make sure we get the last shot.

What I do mind though is him giving the ball up. At the point, might as well let him run ISO.

If the game was tied it's fine to walk the ball up.  We needed to make sure we had time to still make it a game even if we missed the shot.

I can see why Rockets fans love PJ Tucker. Like Marcus Smart, the guy has grit and hustle. Killed us in the 2nd half with the rebounds especially

[RockinRyA]

WHY DIDN'T WE CALL A TIMEOUT???

Because our coach is absolutely incompetent at end of game situations. ABSOLUTELY INCOMPETENT. Our iso game has been AWFUL all night long, yet this idiot thought a free flow play was going to win it.

I'm so done with Stevens. He's blown so many of these games like this because he refuses to call the timeout.

This is the only time I agree the he should've called a timeout. No Kemba, no one was hot, the Rockets defense was set and only a one point lead. The rest of the time, for me its just a pet peeve of yours.

I’d trade multiple picks for Tucker. I love his game.

[knuckleballer]

Hey, Harden, you the most cradled baby in the league () we were missing Kemba.

[RJ87]

Hayward really struggles with these clutch late game shots.

I know he's efficient when the game doesn't matter, but he's killjoy in close games. Point blank layups, wide open 3's - you name it, he misses it.

I disagree but Tatum should have had an and one on the first play of OT, officials turn around and call a ticky tacky and 1 for Russ on the opposite end. Tatum was chopped like lumber on his drive; whistles hidden.

Think D'Antoni and his 8v5 strategy have Brad's number

Brown was the one who EXTENDED our game tonight. He gets little blame from me.

If anything, Westbrook punked BOS and PJ out-muscled us.

Absolutely infuriating. When does Brad get held accountable for these God-awful end-game decisions? How many games has he given up due to this putrid philosophy of refusing to call a timeout in these situations??

[Phantom255x]

Westbrook and Harden get those ticky-tacky calls while our guys get mugged and nothing...
