Game was lost at start of 4th quarter. All awesome third quarter momentum just immediately killed. On what planet should Ty Lawson be getting any playing time? But he continues to get thrown out there. I mean Hardens not the best defender, clearly, but Lawson... Holy ****. How about I just leave this dude that's hot wide open to softly try and pressure this big at the top of the key who isn't doing squat... for no reason. Played catchup thereafter.
That statement just makes me sad because it's true. When we got Ty in the off-season, I couldn't wait for the season to start.. Now I can't wait for this torture to stop My new NBA 2k16 listed the rockets as a top 6 team with no. 1 in defense.. After the update they are now 20th overall I think.. Sigh
I knew once they told harden out at the start of the 4th itvwas all down hill from there. Should have let him start the 4th and taken him out 2-3 min in for a 2-3 min breather and brought him back for the final 6 min
Just a shame. ALL that work for an 'L' Terrible execution down the stretch in OT. Was hoping Dwight would tie up or at least foul Favors on that putback. Thought he was close enough to get to him. Would have preferred to put him at the line instead of lay it in. But having another big would have helped too (Smith). Needed to prevent ANY O Reb's by the Jazz there (right Coach?) But gotta give Dwight and Terry credit on the last play. That tip from Dwight was epic. JET almost made that one too. Would have been classic. But not meant to be. Not this year anyway
It's crazy lol, Harden/Lin/Parsons... we had 3 players who could create their own shot. Now we really only have on. D-Mo doesn't count because well, you know.

That team made it to the first round. Seems like an obese? Harden scored a very efficient 42. Not the problem.
