    Was is that bad? I expected this loss, but it sounds like we are beyond pathetic. Maybe Ty should go back to drinking. I liked the signing because of the positives potential, but I always worried because of his similarities to Harden who is just on another level of pathetic play. He's going beyond T-Mac in Toronto imo, because that loser was hurt, this loser isn't.

    McHale, say bye bye soon? Let's keep losing.

    Yes it was that bad.
    At the first quarter our defence was the best I have seen so far and everyone was giving effort. At t he start of the second Harden was out and Lawson was playing very well and the team had a +15 lead.
    And then Harden came back the defence collapsed and our lead dissapeared.
    Then we started having like 7 consecutive turnovers that lead to fast breaks with noone defending and we were down by 30!
    Then at some point Mchale put in the rookies and the scrubs and they started trying and the Celtics relaxed a bit and the difference came down to acceptable levels- just to save face.

    So we are being called out by the media as quitters. Never seen it before with a Rockets team.

    Say what you want, this still encourages me. Since it was before practice (I'm assuming) everyone was there (I'm assuming). We know Harden didn't call the meeting; he is on another plane of existence with his level of delusion. I wonder who called the meeting. I'm guessing it was Ariza; he looked pissed on the bench. Ariza was playing on a bad groin and was putting in work.

    I actually think the team is starting to wake up, the players sound frustrated & disappointed, hopefully they are putting extra work in practice and discussing how to fix this god awful excuse for a defense we've seen so far. I know that James is is capable of greatness, we've all seen it. It's a matter of having pride, recognizing your faults, & working hard to improve them. Here's hoping this will be the turning point which will get this team to play with some effort/pride.

    I am so impressed with Steve Kerr's coaching.

    He called 2 time out in 20 seconds while game time still has 2 minutes left.
    He just try to put out the fire of Raptors as possible as he can.
