Following their Game 7 loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets’ season officially reached its conclusion on Monday. It was undoubtedly a bitter pill to swallow for Houston, the West’s top-seeded squad, especially given the fact that point-man Chris Paul was forced to watch from the sidelines.
He wasn’t the only one though; former Utah Jazz forward Joe Johnson saw just 25 minutes of action throughout the series. That didn’t sit well with a vocal contingent of fans. After the Rockets had officially ceded their spot atop the conference, people took to Twitter in droves to decry Johnson’s lack of playing time.
