    Fact is you shouldn't be missing CP and Lin when you have two max players on your team. Harden showed up offensively tonight and we probably would have won had he not decided to pass to other players for some reason.

    Where the hell was Dwight though? He was a complete non-factor throughout the game. Needs to get his head out of his ass.

    Rox had no desire tonight for the most part. As this game went on I felt it would be difficult for the Rox to pull this out. Even though the Rox are having the best start they have had in years, they have had some crappy loses so far.

    You should avoid computers and public forums.

    It's a shame Brooks was wasting away all the possessions near the end.

    yes it wasn't only on brooks, it was a team loss. Terrible perimeter defense (Brooks especially, lord have mercy) and Dwight was M.I.A losing to a certified tanking team is absolutely embarrassing

    SMH on everyone blaming Brooks. He is in there to score. At least he had the balls to attack the rim. People forget the big three he made and the 2 free throws he had near the end.

    The game was lost when our PG (Harden) made that stupid lazy pass.

    The Rockets must be really into self-flagellation. They do something good like beat the best team in the conference, they have to make up for it by punching themselves in the testicles. I wish they would get over it but if that's what they like...

    Hilarious right? But in some peoples warped minds it is Harden who lost this game.

    If Harden didn't play tonight we get blown out.

    If I'm Kevin Mchale, the first question I ask my team is why they can't compete for 48 minutes?

    Starters absolutely sucked in the first half. Got off to a bad start, let their players get some confidence and then could never get goin again.

    You let a player like Hayward get his game going, this is what you get.

    Something about Utah. The air? Utah played well. I don't know much about their coach but the team executed and looked good out there.

    The last play was def **** - Harden wasn't wide open so he couldn't give it to him, harden should have ran out more for the pass. They over dribbled so much - wasted so much tim.e when harden hit that clutch 3, they had a small windwo of opportunity

    The game where Lin blew his knee and we blew the Hawks out by 30 points almost all game. For the first time, the opposing team never came close and we kept our lead. We were consistent on offense, defense and had ball movement.

    He need to work on his defense and to. But I still think he can improve and lead the team. But most importantly we need someone to stand up and be he defensive voice when time are tough and make everyone play harder defense.
