    Call me blind but Oladipo was not holding him. Harden does this **** when the pressure mounts up. Mental midgtet at its finest

    FINAL: Magic 104, Rockets 101. Tough loss, HOU had chances late, but defense in 2Q/3Q hurt. Good news: Ty Lawson looked like Ty Lawson.

    This is simply a best case scenario -- Rockets on a 13-0 run and they're doing it with Ty Lawson playing a role.

    Quite frankly, we can complain all we want that the refs missed a call at the end but seriously, a good team wouldn't let it get close. Unfortunately we are the furthest thing from being a good team right now.

    :confused:

    His arms are around Harden? Why wouldn't Harden want that shot? He's hit plenty of big shots and has a few game winners? What exactly does he have to lose with taking that shot?

    Good times. I'm happy whenever Rockets don't play healthy DMo and they lose

    Agreed. Egregious it was not. Spin out of that crap and shed that fool. Stop whining for a foul. Not the time to play for a foul.

    We're just a mediocre team.

    There's the Warriors and the Spurs, then a step below them is the Thunder and Cavs. After that there is a group of 15 or so mediocre teams that just happen to be playing in the league this year. We're in that group.

    This team is probably gonna come close to 50 wins this year, we've been playing better. But we are absolutely no threat to the real teams up top. We are just playing out the string until we rebuild in the offseason.

    When Dwight Howard fell down and Trevor Ariza attempted that late 3, Howard had plenty of time to get back up and try to rebound the ball, which he would have because the ball came that way. Instead he just laid there on the floor and couldn't grab the loose ball.

    If you watch carefully, Vucevic was also held by Thornton with two hands. Anyway, Ariza should've called a timeout.

    Not a bad game. Orlando is a good team and was at home.
