    I have to say, Harden needs to shut the hell up and take responsibility for his screw ups. I hate people that always point fingers at others when they themselves need to get their **** together.

    Of course is not Lin's fault. It is wrong positioning of the defensive players from the coaching staff. The Coach needs to know how to position your players.

    Stupid...you do realize that Nash was Lin's responsibility. Ignorance, stupidity, or just moronic...you pick.

    Yeah, the inbound pass, the allowing of Dwight to miss free throw after free throw, Bev's chucking (what was he 1-for 23???). and Bev getting owned on the perimeter had nothing to do with it.

    Coaching was a huge non plus again.

    who cares.. they would have been crushed in OT thats why they went for the win. everyone should have been grading the 3 point line.

    Yeah they did have to make a near record amount of threes to win, but I don't see it so much as an aberration as much as its just typical lack of perimeter defense.

    Omer Asik for Ryan Anderson makes too much sense for both sides right?

    No this is too reasonable, let's just blame it all on one player.

    While the board slowly melts down in the aftermath of a disappointing loss, I will simply view it as a great early season lesson for a young team still learning.


    Oh but God the Lakers fans are going to be insufferable. :rolleyes:

    Ah Morey, all the signings in the world aren't going to help you as long as McHale is still your coach.

    Lin once again goes UNDER the screen, for a man with that education he makes some dumb plays over and over again.

    GO OVER THE SCREEN LIN !

    Of course Bev and McHale told Harden to calm down. Without Lin, we would have lost a long time ago.

    Howard's free throw shooting loses games. He makes them...we win.

    It's that simple. But, you can come up with other reasons we lost.

    What should be easy "free" shots turn into game losers.

    If you had to predict an ending, it wouldn't have ended any other way.

    The Lakers hitting a three(something they did all night)
    Rockets breakdown on defense(surprise, surprise)
