D’Antoni: “Who wants to play Center tonight??”


Can't lose this game. Defense and rebounding effort can't be anywhere close to what it was against Phoenix.


Rockets can WIN the Tie Breaker with Utah with this game. Utah is RIGHT THERE in the standings.

Probably the biggest game of the year considering the STAKES


Rockets - 4
O//U 232.5
Money line Rockets - 170 Jazz + 150

I think we cover the 4. The Jazz and Gobert won't be able to keep up. Gobert will have to gaurd the 3 point line. Playing behind Harden won't work anymore with Gobert out of the paint. Perfect opponent for our small ball lineup. It should be a good one with or without EG.

Go Rockets!


Midgets vs Goliath part 2.


This is a huge game. Hope we crush them. Take Gobert away from the rim and we'll have a great shot.


Covington vs Gobert? Christ


As a blazers fan I hate the floppets with a passion, but for today only, beat the **** out of Utah, and sweep royce oneals leg and kick gobert in the balls


Westbrick is a mini Giannis, love it!


Imagine if James attacked like Russ instead of constantly stepping back


This is the Westbrook I remember. Glad he got comfortable


We need to blow them out for the

@trailblazers


Russ can't let Gobert guard him like this. Just shoot the 3.


Jazz have already figured out this small ball lineup. Westbrook a total Liability against Gobert.


Smart of putting Gobert on Russ, altough it should really open the lane for James


Covington is exactly as advertised man.



Besides leaving Mitchell open at the 3 point line, the defense has been good especially the steals.


Good ball movement. No Capela, means more shots for everyone. Lol


WTF happened to Harden???? We could could be the best duo in the league if this man can play like 50% of his normal self



HARDEN NEEDS TO STOP PULLING UP FROM THE THREE HE IS PISSING ME OFF GOING 1 FOR 8


Has Harden developed a drug habit or something? Man he’s playing like **** this year. Can’t defend him.


What is the point of Harden anymore?


Corner threes are killing us. We give up so many of them


Niang scrub to go off tonight


Jazz just ain't missing shots


Hey look a no name scrub going off ..
Niang with a career night brewing already lovely


Jazz may not miss another shot today


Westbrook has become the most important player on this team. Right now he is better than James Harden. Has been for almost 2 months.


1-11 from 3 for Harden...really!! Get the 2’s!!!


I fw westbrook but this should be a tech everytime. Clearly taunting


Rockets fans can be toxic af.. Harden carried this franchise for years and the moment he goes into a slump you turn against him. No, it's not Russ' team now or neither he should be traded, this is such a moronic thing to say. Show some appreciation and support him when it matters


Westbrook got no call
Harden got no call

but Gobert got that ******** call


These guys are getting a lot of steals


Rockets just can’t bust this one open. Jazz hitting timely shots.


Russ rocking the baby vs Gobert. Gotta love it!


Never in my life did I think I would see the day when Russ would not only become a more efficient player than Harden but a god damn smarter player.


Jazz have hit every timely shot imaginable.


Rockets have let the Jazz hang around. Blowing tons of opportunities.


Man they wanted Westbrook to cut down on 3’s, maybe they should consider telling Harden to attack more bc his 3 point shooting is getting woeful!!


If we don't start making more 3's were toast


Quadruple double if you count traveling.


TUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!


We have a 3 point schemed offense and we're 23rd in the NBA in 3 point shooting. OOOffff


At some point you'd think he'll stop having these disgusting shooting games, but nope. Still cant figure out why he suddenly forgets how to shoot the ball.


Man Clarkson doing Kobe moves out there.


Jordan Clarkson is destroying rivers off the bench!

Don't know how rivers survived trade deadline!?!?


Jazz cannot be stopped. Hitting every timely shot. Oh well.


Someone has to tell James Harden he is shooting 10-10 from inside.

Drive to the rim more please.



God damn has Westbrook de-aged to 25?


Frustrating game. Rockets may not hit another outside shot.


Rockets have collapsed offensively. Total collapse.


Royce O'Neal blocks three-consecutive Rockets shots before Westbrook misses a 3. Rockets had made 2 of 12 shots before a McLemore 3.


O’Neal looking like Ben Wallace!!


we are the only team in the league that ever goes this cold


Utah went small without their best players and now it's giving the Rockets trouble.


Jazz coach Snyder looks like he just came off a bender or is a meth addict lol


Dude looks like his has a coke problem


Clarkson is destroying us


Rockets gonna lose to Jordan Clarkson At home. Pathetic.


They’re playing solid defense. It’s just better offense by the jazz.


Synder got that T to motivate his team.


Russ is sitting. Help us, Lord


Kobe's soul got zapped into Clarkson


Wonder if we’ll ever get a stop


could somebody defend Clarkson sheesh


****ing Clarkson. Can’t even be mad since Jazz fans were saying ****ing Eric Gordon for 50 last game.


The Jazz are getting layups almost every possession


Someone needs to foul the **** out of Clarkson.


Clarkson is hitting every tough shot. Reminds me of Oubre the other night.


the weird thing is, it isn't even Mitchell getting into the lane, but rather Conley and Clarkson.


Harden 2-13... dude has set record after record for the most missed 3's in a game & continues to re-write history. SMH


Gonna be a really bad loss. Rockets are clueless this half. Totally lost defensively.


Well between that one ref and our lack of shooting, this is quickly going from nailbiter to trainwreck.


Well, this is tremendously disappointing. I was way too excited in the first half forgetting this is the Rockets.


Barkley was right

both Harden & Westbrook have to be amazing in order for us to win


System is set up for threes.....can't win if don't make any


i wish james would have fouled out 3 mins ago. he's not the best at defense with 0 fouls, down right dreadful with 5.


Clarkson is schooling House


When did the Jazz pick up michael Jordan?


Below 500 with the small ball approach so far. Yawn!


Get a damn center


End the pain


Donovan crossing harden all night.


Covington three for the lead!


Now play some defense and close this out, dammit.


Dumbass foul by pj


Oh PJ , that was a bad foul .


Tucker with the cold blooded three for the win!


Tucker made up for the foul there. Hope they stop them on the final shot.


Thank you Russ and PJ.

One more stop


TUCKER REDEEMS HIMSELF.


Set up perfectly for a Bogdanovic win.


PUT ALL 5 DEFENDERS ON CLARKSON


Please for god sakes this **** hasnt ended well...NO 3 for god sakes


Shut up bro. I’m scared


PJ making up for that foul. Hell of a job locating him and passing to him, Russ.


Ok NOWWWWW just get 1 stop please


Lol Chandler is in.


Here comes a foul or dagger


A test of our defensive intelligence.


get a stop, for the love


**** me bloody


Well god damn lol


Unreal. Rockets just can't catch a break this year.


I really hate this ****ing sport.


Oh my god lol

Can’t be mad at our defense , that was really great coverage


This is what happens when you put a center in

NEVER AGAIN!


twice this season we have been done like that


Nothing you can do about that, defended as well as you'd like.


Hard to defend it better than that. That's devastating


Man you gotta be kidding me


Like the ghost of John Stockton...


It's like 1997 all over again. ****.


God hates Houston sports.

The end.


No way. Gutted.


He's fading away over two guys like 5 feet behind the line, nothing you can do about that particular shot.


I’m sick I mean this one hurts


Really should have fouled him . . . .but that was good defense better offense


You know that's some ********....i'm going to sleep!!!


YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. . . .Bogdonavich


Chandler pressuring the ball . .. seemed like they took every second of the 5 seconds


****!!!! Heck of a shot. But man **** the Jazzholes!!!


We may as well concede the season here. The luck just isn't with us. Hasn't been with us for years.

He would never hit that shot again even if he had 1 million tries at it. So frustrating.

I think I'm done. Mitchell gets away with a foul which lead him to get 2 free throws.


That shot doesn’t go in against any other team. We are cursed.


i hate basketball.

What a stupid sport.


Dude was sucking all game and couldn't get his shot in but sinks the game winner, come the **** on man.


freaking Jazz, They got away with a goaltend last game vs blazers and now hit a dumb lucky shot to beat us.


Somewhere Capela is chuckling deeply


Must be nice having a consistent bench scorer like Clarkson


This one hurt. What a ridiculous shot man, and from Biejiclas twin. The bad luck this season sucks.


I wouldn't have let that player even have a shot... he's been a clutch player in the past. Let Mitchell or Conley shoot a hesitation shot like that. But that's Houston sports curse too... maybe it didn't matter. Gobert would have probably hit it too.


Every starter on the Rockets had a positive plus/minus except for House.


I feel like he really really wanted to win another MVP award because he's bitter about being robbed in past years. He knows this year he has no chance since Westbrook has erupted and thus ruined the narrative that he has no help.


donovan bitchell's push off on covington to show up on L2M report?


Bogdanovic misses that shot 9 times out of 10. The one time he makes it is for the win against the Rockets


I just tried to time it with a stopwatch. Looks like Bojan caught it with 4.75 seconds gone. Doesn't get much closer than that


Russell Westbrook on Rudy Gobert guarding him: "I don't have a reaction."

As for how to attack bigs like Gobert? "I put it right through his chest and put that **** in the basket. Same thing I do with everybody else. He ain't no different. He just happen to be a little taller."


Thats the killing instinct of pure shooter, we lack of that kinda player
Dr nud…


If you want to know why we lost. . . Clarkson skull****** House for like a couple of quarters it seems

When was the last time a single player gave us 30 off the bench



Wasn’t even bad defense just a crazy shot


We wouldn’t have been in that position if Harden didn’t shoot all those bricks throughout


Teams get so lucky against us lmao


With 2 guys on him, fading away and at least 10 feet behind the three point line gg


Why is it always a random white person


Russell Westbrook has been the best player on the Rockets for 3 months. WTF happened to James Harden?


Harden needs to stop with those 3s. Nobody cares about those stepback 3s anymore


Eric Gordon really makes such a big difference for our bench.. we stunk it up for a while there.. really wish he could have played.. great game by Utah. Crazy last few minutes. On to the next


basketball gods hates us, its official


they didnt know how to defence ****ing 5 point bogdanovic


I never want to check-in to Heartbreak Hotel again


Luckiest shot of all time


Gobert rocking the baby now. Like I said, anytime Russ gets cocky, he loses.


It hurts but if they win it on a fade away 3 pointer miles behind the line with two defenders on the shooter then you just gotta applaud


Wow. That was a crazy *** minute


That was insanely ****ed..


I’m tired of these lucky *** shots.


How the **** did Bogdonavic make that... Stupid luck...


Harden was the reason we lost it tonight


This is what happens when you let Jordan Clarkson score 30


I can’t believe what I just watched


How did we lose that game?


No offensive foul for when Donovan Mitchell pushes off smh that's a hard L


Get Westbrook some damn help on defense


Most painful loss of the season


Great find by Russ to PJ but damn what a shot by Utah to win it!


Moving screen by Gobert plus a push off to boot. But whatever I guess


Harden sucks rn ... he shot us out the game


Following this team is eternal pain


Wasted it because James Harden shot so poorly all night


James **** the bed again


Trade James Harden


I wonder if Russ is thinking “what the hell did I get myself into?”


They need to trade Russ man. They’re wasting the last few years of his prime. Harden will never win a championship and Russ deserves better


Look at the box score. Balanced scoring effort overall and Donovan didn’t play that well. Jazz have better depth. Not saying guaranteed w in 7 game series, but PJ Tucker may die with what he’s being asked to do


Unfortunately Bogda -- what the **** way you spell it had 6


I'M IN SHAMBLES


ballsacks


Unfortunate ending. But you live with that shot ten times outta ten. On to the next one.


I was so excited to go lurk on the Jazz sub after this game and enjoy their incessant whining. Oh well


Welp, glad the refs called those many pushoffs on Mitchell


I tune in for the last shot... Fml


what a game! nice shot from bogdanovic but **** the jazz


**** that ********. **** the jazz **** the jazz **** the jazz


You couldn’t breathe on the Jazz without a foul call, I’ve never seen anything like that lol


never want to see another bogdanovich in my life


I feel broken


We work to get 2 wide open 3s after playing lockdown defense on the other end to come back and then they hit that ****. What the **** man.


It came down to Conley and Clarkson bullying us. That's kind of depressing.


That Harden triple double masks a ****ing **** game for him. He’s still lost.


Big white men really just shoot 100% on us in game winning situations I suppose


**** all the Bogdanovic's man OMG


Clarkson really shredded us in the second half. Nothing we can do about that buzzer beat he was double covered. Tough loss on to the next one boys


Maybe one game Harden will say “ my shots not here , let me drive”


Add it to the list of 3’s that haunt me in my dreams


Harden 39 minutes and russ 37 minutes. It seems like the team should focus on resting these guys more and not worry about standings at this point. Homecourt doesnt seem likely at this point and especially they may not have the tiebreakers over most of these teams.


Soon as I saw the game winning 3 was coming from a white European shooter w/ a last name beginning with B, I knew it was wraps.


that was incredibly tragic lol


I want to yeet myself into a volcano.


James Harden was 90% from 2 with a 28 point triple double.

James Harden was 15% from 3 and 50% from the line in a 1 point loss.

How are both of those sentences true?


knew the jazz were going to win once worrell yelled out "for the win" on tucker's three with 1.6 left


Heads up guys. I wouldn't count on their bench getting 47 points in a series or even next game. FTJ, we will get em next time guaranteed


Kings buzzer hurt. But this is from the Jazz. I’m broken.


Maybe now the Rockets commentators will learn to pronounce "Bojan" correctly haha.


Summoned the courage to watch the replay. That was actually a very good defense by everybody except.. PJ. He kinda fell asleep for half a second when Bojan made his move and that was all that guy needed. Hell of a shot nonetheless.


We put a center in for 2 seconds and this is what happens?!

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh this is delightful. So many gems. So much pain warming my heart. Now I can go to sleep and have the most beautiful dreams. But the best part will be waking up and reading this all over again after watching the game winner a couple hundred more times :cool:
 
That moment when a Rockets fan complains about officiating.
They get it from their GM... he has a journal and reports he sends to the NBA because they are cheated so often.
