The way Lowry is shooting threes is uncontested..... I don't know if he can sink them consistently with hands in his face.
I do not agree with your line-up, I would have liked anything with Parsons as the SF. To me the key to the game was Leonard for San Antonio, he dominated on the boards something we could have avoided if Parsons was the 3.
It seems like McHale wants to lose games rather than winning. His substitutions and line ups are horrible. Tim Grandpa Duncan got 3 or 4 layups against Scola when McHale went with his stupid small line up. He has played that small line up in few games and we ended up losing big in those games. I wanted to see Parsons, Sammy, Lowry, Scola or Patterson, Martin in Over Time. Those Refs were horrible, Rockets defintely got screwed by this crew tonight. Damn it... I am so frustrated. Well, atleast look at the big picture..we may actually get a top 10 pick for a change instead of 14th pick. I want this season to be over already.
WOW, what a game. sucks that we lost, but know what sucks more? I watched the highlights, and when it was 94-92 SA in OT, when Duncan got the ball and was backing in on Scola...I SWEAR he traveled. He grabbed the ball, took a step back, then stepped back with his other foot quickly, then took a step and dribbled at the same time. What a crock of sht, and they scored on that possession. I'm sure Houston had plenty of chances and all, but they only showed parts of the 4TH and OT and that play looked like BS from the start.
Budinger not scoring is what is killing the team. He should be putting up more shots. I believe he took only two shot in his 13 minutes of play tonight.
EVERY Star player travels: Jordan traveled, Kobe travels, LeBron travels, Wade travels and on and on. Even Scola travels. This whining about the refs is getting old. Rockets lose games like this because their margin for error against the better teams is razor thin and they make too many goofy mistakes which end up biting them in the end.
What really bummed me out was when they go on a little 6-0 run with like 3 minutes left in the fourth (all lay-ups I believe) and McHale calls time-out and I'm thinking "Okay, dude is gonna put in Dalembert to protect the rim" and he comes back WITH THE SAME FREAKING LINE-UP. What. In The. Hell. I've been a staunch supporter of McHale these first few games but I'm losing his faith -- his sub patterns in close games are downright baffling.

Just a depressing game. They handed this game to us on a freaking platter. WTF this sucks Kevin Martin just disappeared in the 4th, Lowry is trying as hard as he can but he is our only real "player."
I think parsons would have been the difference maker...Scola wasn't playing well and wasn't going for rebounds, but Scola can still be money if put in good situations. Parsons would have helped with the rebounding AND passing inside. Scola needed to get the ball closer to the rim. Mchale should have given more rest to these guys earlier in the game. A minute here and there goes along way.
Too many easy baskets at the rim during the 4th quarter while Dalembert sat on the bench. SHAME ON McHALE.
