    just eats me up that we had 2 underrated borderline all-star PG's that got no love from the media at all. And we have a PG in Lin( who i think is overrated by many here), and Douglass who should be in Europe

    we downgraded at a position, that we had a solid hold on for years

    The weakest position is… coaching

    Absolutely correct, we need to upgrade this position in the offseason.

    Lin is overrated but this was one of his better games. The coaching really was baffling.

    i don't have a problem with mchale, but sampson is grossly inept both in-game and post-game (when he inappropriately calls out his players in the press)

    Harden's iso is to blame for weak PGs

    More of a business decision rather than basketball.

    Today, he passed the ball well. I think the coaching is definitely the culprit.

    if we had a PG, we wouldnt need Harden to bring the ball up

    Lin and Douglass cant even make basic layups. Lowry and Dragic would never miss these point blank layups that i see these guys routinely miss, Gogi and Lowry were also much better defenders

    every night an opposing PG torches the Rockets, tonight it was Lillard, previous it was Vasquez. That never happened last year

    there is no need for the point guard position post harden trade!! it's obsolete.

    er. not at the end of the game. the game broke down when Harden kept going iso-ball. Pretty much all of OT was him waiting until 14 seconds on the clock. use a pick while driving to his left or a cross cross stepback three pointer.

    Makes no sense.

    McHale and Sampson needs to be fired. I see no upside in this team until they do.

    Not at the end of the 1st half. a few consecutive possessions of Harden iso ball soon after Lin sat down and the lead was cut from 15 to 7

    I am not sure how good Livingston is under pressure situations but we could have used him
