    You already know the big men on the roster. If they are so bad they can’t perform a grade school level task of boxing out on a freethrow and getting a rebound, then our big men AND the entire coaching staff need to be cut. This sh*t is just ridiculous.

    You are saying what if scenario, imagine this u put two fking centers (one ole man and one slow ass center) out to grab an "imaginary" rebound then what? What happen if there's an imaginary turnover or we fail to convert how we gonna defend with two slow ass centers? or how about if we go on offense basically 3 on 5 w/ harden being gassed out. U are knit picking and creating an imaginary scenario to sht on the HC in my opinion.

    Hmmm, ok hold on a sec, on that Zubac free throw were the lakers also small, did they have any of their centers in for rebounds? If not, I dont get why Nene necessarily had to be in for rebounds when Tucker had been outperforming him in that area all night? If you could just explain that to me, I will concede here, I genuinely want to know.

    Harden really is an awesome dude to his fans and the staff at TC...why does he get all the hate? For drawing fouls? MJ did that too tho

    OMG, that was a nail biter!!!! Seriously, Both my thumb nails are shorter now......LOL. Just when I thought the refs took the game away from us with that horrible call on Tucker, James and Gordon saved the day. Wow, that last second shot to tie it up was as exciting as it gets. I felt like I was watching playoffs. Even overtime had me chewing my nails like a nervous wreck. Winning a nerve racking adrenaline flowing game Iike tonight is what makes me love this game and love my Rockets!!!!

    just when I spout off saying I haven't missed Gordon, he comes back playing so well I'm eating a little crow now, and it tastes pretty good dipped in scotch bonnet pepper sauce. Welcome back EGO!!!!

    There was not what if. D’Antoni actually did that stupid sh*t. Luckly the Rockets didn’t get burned.

    Question: What does speed have to do with boxing out and rebounding on the FT line?

    Did the ball not went into the hoop and if it did (I'm sure it did) no imaginary rebound took place. N U now r on offense on crunch time with two fking centers.

    Because when you NEED a rebound you put your best rebounders and big/tall players in. That’s literally basketball 101. I never mentioned taking Tucker out. Hell I never mentioned any players by name. There are 5 players lined up outside the paint. The Rockets had three of those players. Our big men should have been out there. That’s just bad coaching that they weren’t. Regardless of the outcome of the game, coaches shouldn’t get passes for bad calls.
