    You can see the Celtics are going to go for the steal and the Rockets player still passes it

    The way things have been going these last few games, you just knew, in the back of your mind, something like this was going to happen.. Rockets need to nut up and win this game.. 26 point lead.. MDA should have called a TO when he saw Harden playing weird.

    weber literally couldn't be worse. and does every celtics deflection have to stay in bounds?

    gotta love harden not being in the game because d'antoni wasted the whole 3rd quarter sitting on his ass instead of coaching so he panicked and put harden in to start the 4th instead of getting him normal rest with a sizable lead. all around collapse. no one escapes. harden and gordon can't shoot, tucker and nene can't rebound. weber has gifted the celtics 2 possessions by not being able to hold onto the ball and a live ball turnovers. we blew a 26 point lead in essentially a quarter. it's not even like the game's over. i would love to know what happened in the first half. embarrassing.

    This game proves how useless Anderson is. He needs to step up and create and he is so passive.

    Agreed, but a single bad call is not enough of a reason to be used as an excuse when we talk about a 25 point lead burned like this.

    2 things about flopping here...

    1 is if I’m a ref, in the midcourt unless the ball carrier literally pulls out the madden truck stick I’m calling it on the defender. 99.99% of the time. Fans can chant whatever they want.

    2 Bev was our flopper. We need a flopper to soak up calls :coughwebercough:

    We don't have anybody who can handle the rock so we overpass on every possesion. We're meat to a team like Boston that plays the passing lanes.

    Waste of space could be using Bobby brown in his spot.

    I blame MDA a little. Should have been developing the players better on the bench for times like this. Gordon and Harden are ineffective in this second half because of large minutes/fatigue over the season. Weber is afraid to shoot so he is not ideal right now. Is Brown that bad that he can't come in an offer some outside shooting?

    Weber plays offense like a Bulbasaur on cocaine.

    It would have been nice to win this game but Harden is the leader on the floor and nba knows what to do with him now.
