    I blame this one on McHale. Terrible substitutions. Waiting too long to put Dalembert back in, took out Hill and Patterson when they were doing great (and never put them back in), played Dragic through most of overtime instead of Parsons. Sometimes you just have to wonder....

    Should've played Chandler "Big Balls" Parsons more and kept Kevin "Big Vagina" Martin on the bench in crunch time.

    This one is on McHale.


    Chandler Parsons and Samuel Dalembert should have been in the damn game.

    NEVER draw up an isolation for Kevin Martin. NEVER...

    Another winnable game given away because we have no go to player and worse, no go to offense.

    With a win they would have been 1 game out of first in the loss column with a loss back to last in the conference.

    Good job McHale you are proving your value with every failed substition and setup game after game.

    Oh, and for the record, with 5.8 seconds to go and a tie game, and your team on Defense you do NOT put in Kmart.

    MMMMMKAY !!

    I seriously thought we would have won this game if Parsons played the full overtime. We would had more Rebounding. Look at the Bright side Parsons WANTS to take the shot in winning time even if he might miss; we saw that last night and tonight.

    I'm happy. They contended for 4 quarters, and got the win (loss).

    I love refs. I think I'm gonna go to reffing school and learn a thing or two.

    THEN I WILL SWALLOW THE WISTLE EVERY TIME A SUPERSTAR GETS THE BALL AND OVER RULE THE OTHER REFS EVERY TIME. I'M TIRED OF THIS

    Scola guarding Duncan in the 4th was also terrible

    I love Lowry but he was pissing me off towards the end of that game. Outside of those late 3's, he missed two point blank put backs (1 he probably should have kicked out), and was so adamant on attacking Tim Duncan in the lane where he was getting his s*** swatted back each time. That square peg isn't going to fit into the round hole. On that play when Duncan got switched 1 on 1 to him, I knew he was going to try to drive it on him and knew immediately it was going to be a worthless attempt.

    well, to be fair, McHale was a former NBA analyst; he probably hasn't watched a Rockets game.

    Was there a goaltend on Parsons' layup?

    Either way, it was a nice move in crunch time for him, would roll in 3 out of 4 times.



    I didn't see a lot of the game, but are the rockets just shooting too many jumpers? Need more points in the paint?

    Dragic/Lowry/Martin combo is a hit or miss combo. Hopefully we dont see anymore of it once Lee is back.

    Every time McHale has inserted Scola at the C position in a close game has equaled a loss.

    And someone tell Kyle that turnovers are bad and please make 2 foot layups....

    There was way too much Dragic in that game. We need Lee back if for no other reason than to get Dragic's minutes back to 16

    That is so true. Scola CANNOT play Center.

    Yeah, not an impressive showing by McHale. I know he's intent on saving legs in this weird season, but he's got to worry about wins right now and the rest later.

    Not only do we have to worry about being out-talented every night, but we also have to be concerned now that we're pretty much being outcoached every night.
