    if you're not getting the calls and they're getting a foul with little to no contact, why not deliver a message. A hard foul? get up close and take out their feet like manu.
    Frustrating to watch. F' the association. F' the lottery selection. F' the commissar.


    ** If we are able to resign dragic, i'll consider it a victory. He is a building block along with lowry.

    Mchale is just a puppet like he has always been in his coaching career...front office told him to loose. I strongly believe that.

    At first I gave McHale a pass due to the lockout.

    Then I was fooled into thinking he might be competent while Goran was going apes**t.

    Now my worst fears have been confirmed. He's the know-nothing stooge he was in Minnesota. His adjustments are non-existent, and pathetic when they rarely happen. I realize he hasn't been playing with a full deck, but neither have most other coaches.

    He sucks. If we ever manage to win, it will be without his contributions, if not completely despite him.

    ya i wonder why i keep doing that myself, investing in NBA league pass, im a laughing stock here in LA.

    my family knows I love basketball and when anyone finds out I like basketball they ask, who's your team? Rockets!

    LOL rockets?

    whos your team (in my head i say with them at the same time )

    Lakers.

    I mentally gave up on this team in the 2nd half of the game in Denver when I saw THEM give up.

    I love em, but this one didn't hurt as much. I expected it. God I hate being right about that.

    HOWEVER, at some point as a fan you have to re-evaluate your committment to them. Is 15 years of this ***** enough?

    I'll most likely get over this and be back next year. But for the first time ever, I'm thinking of watching a 2nd franchise...maybe Portland or Minnesota. At least I could have hope watching them but not be considered a bandwagoner.

    Talk to Clutch buddy. I feel like he was in the same position as I am. If you're satisfied with the last 3 seasons, why don't you gtfo?

    Scola was on Dirk during most of the 4th but his defensive effort was feeble and pathetic. His entire defensive strategy boiled down to "Grab Dirk".

    Lowry
    Martin
    Parsons
    Scola
    Dalembert

    I think this team has more heart than any team in the league. We just don't have the talent.

    Don't think he meant he wants to be a Lakers fan. He's just saying that most people reply to his "Who's your team" question with "Lakers."

    Not a surprise really. The rockets identity is the same from last season: Attempt to make the playoffs, no ability to close out the 4th quarter, fail in the last 10 games of the season, get a useless 14th pick and spend it on a tweener you never intend to play.

    You're absolutely correct on that one.

    And then late in the 4th when Terry and Dirk kept running that PnR, Scola and Dragic switched every time.

    I don't think there was a single possession where Dallas didn't score on that strategy.
