Terrible shot, good game, we could have won this if our guards got the ball to KAT inside more! I blame Thibs, Teague, and KAT himself. Teague as the PG has to know that you gotta keep your big man happy. Houston won't miss this many 3's again!

Why does it matter? 2 free throws and game over any way.

Well that was a reality check for Towns. You aren't shit until you step up in the playoffs. I expect him to play well in game two. Fun game. Maybe Thibs is going to give Rose that MLE now. ;)

Yeah, there is blame to go around for sure.

I missed that one, but I'm not surprised he did it or that he got away with it. It's hard enough to beat the Rockets with balanced officiating. But star or no star, what Harden gets away with repeatedly is inexcusable and the NBA needs to put a stop to it. I'll say this. I'll be rooting against the Rockets in every round beyond this one.

Butlers foot was on the line. How about a screen to get a better look?

Moral victory. meh.

It's tough for me. Harden is so creative and unique. You can't really blame the player for taking what the refs give them. At least he's not dirty like Paul. I do hate Paul and Dantoni more.

I just dont think Thibs trusts kat and wiggins late in games.

He will live and die with teague, butler, and crawford. And so will the wolves.

A 3 point loss almost feels like a win is you ignore that it's actually a loss! I expected four ugly blowouts so they've already done much better than expected, maybe they'll even win one!

We had a play set up. Teague was wide open. Jimmy just pulled
