    All the plays after that were not better. 2-3 instances where we couldn't get anything going in offense and jacking up shots in the last second to beat the shot clock.

    Pathetic.

    Harden's missed his last 3 or 4 shots - hope he's not going cold

    Knight took advantage of Lin being overaggressive on help D, burned him backdoor.

    Also if you're a PG that can shoot off the dribble, you can have success if Lin is guarding you. I'm seeing a pattern.

    McHale not the right coach for this team. Lin has to shoot and defend better. If not for harden we would be behind by double digits against the Pistons.

    Very strange that Bill or Bull didn't say anything about Jones not playing, considering how much playing time Jones got in the preseason.

    Patterson is out. The rookies haven't played. Harden is brand new to this team and hasn't gotten the offense yet. This team has never played together before.

    It will all come together better later in the season.

    As for now, I've seen some great potential.

    The only reason I can think of why Morris is on the court is that we're showcasing him to try to trade him.

    Either that or we're really tanking.

    Piston defense tighten up in the 2nd quarter which caused no spacing.

    can we trade td, morris and maybe patterson for a high quality backup pg or sg and sign back livingston? Play Tjones and Dmo and Royce with that unit. Please?

    Mchale sucks.

    Seriously, what the **** was that after the fog machine timeout?

    Harden just passed to Lin...Lin passed back...then Harden jacked up a three pointer.

    That's a quick change of tone. Rockets are just behind by 3pts and still have 2 qtrs to go.

    If it's any consolation, even at our worst, we still looked better than the Lakers.

    Harden just showed why he will be the best SG in the league in 2 years. Also why Morris who is a bumbling fool who cant grab a rebound or catch a pass playing infront of jones?.

    We were in a very good position and McHale made a lot of substitutions bringing both Cook and Douglas in. Downhill from there.
