    This record setting 3 point shooting is good for his stats but he couldn't get the team really going offensively or make his teammates better players or better human beings.

    When Parsons got done hitting all these shots, you look around and the rest of the Rockets are exactly the same people and are not made into better people.

    Why didn't you tell him to shoot 11 instead? We would've won!

    this is a great thread. But seriously I was waiting to see the one he was going to force and truly his 11th on in the 2nd half was a horrible decision

    It was horrible, but I guess when you made 10 treys in a row and single-handedly kept your team in the game, you were entitled to take your 11th shot regardless.

    he should pass it to Lin...
    then have Lin pass it back to him so Lin can get assists

    How can parsons shoot 3s for himself? He is wearing rockets uniform, last time i check. It is not like the rockets in 4th Q with 3 minutes left in the game, are leading by 25 pts or losing by that much n he overrule mchale, put himself in n ask all his teammates on the floor to just pass him the rock. Yeahhh babyyy yeahhh!!!! Im shooting for my personal glory. Doooohhhhhhhh :eek:

    Its called Hero Ball. There is a difference between a heat check and a poor-forced shot in a close game.

    No he should miss it so Bev can get an offensive rebound and pass it to Jeremy who will turn it over so that James can steal it back and dribble dribble dribble pass it to Dwight for the corner 3 miss and T Jones for the put back.... but Rockets got called for too many men on the ice....McHale furious and got T'ed up. Get the whole team involved!

    It was a bad shot. But the shotclock was almost at zero. So he had to shoot.

    Parsons is not a superstar like Lebrons, he has done his job excellent, u guys can't expect too much, u can say this nonsense to Howard or Harden, but it's unfair to say this to Parsons
    Every player must understand his role in his team
