    Should have won this game, we had 2 possessions at the end of regulation that we literally threw away with Lin's boneheaded decision to throw that alley and Harden's inability to even get off a shot.

    Youre reaching on both fronts I don't think anyone went that far in either direction. Hyperbole is fun.

    We had no chance of winning that game in overtime on a back to back. Good game!

    Oh and by the way, imagine if it was LaMarcus Aldridge setting picks for Harden and Lin. Would be near impossible to stop.

    McFail doesnt understand how to use roster. Not putting rosters out there is stupid.

    Simply ran Outta gas. Need another scoring guard. Harden can't play the whole season gassed.

    Ive been scrolling and a lot of the times ive seen your posts which did not make sense or were lin homer posts. When i looked to see who wrote it was you.

    Man, Lin basically lost us the game with not only that horrible alley opp pass, and basically losing the ball on an inbound, but also getting torched by a rookie.

    Harden should have gotten the last shot (he is our 1st option), his mistake was that he should have drove. Also replay shows mathews hacked his hand.

    Good game

    Good Points from the game:
    -Great Team Effort
    -Great Defense
    -Morris stepping up and making shot
    -Patterson did a good job


    Bad Points from the game
    -McHale needs to extend the rotation
    -Fatigue
    -Blown Calls
    -Omer getting Offensive boards,but he needs to finish,he needs to dunk the ball.
    -If Harden isnt making shots he should facilitate more as should Lin.



    Other than that I think the game was winnable just got tired and refs missing some calls,but I can see these young Rockets learn from the Loss.

    Melo is selfish. Harden isn't. It's easier to give the ball up to the latter.

    Playing 40 minutes back to back will do that. It's only one game. I know we are all fans and we want them to win every game, but it's simply not possible!

    Damian Lillard is a stud though. I was gonna pick him up in fantasy, but he got snatched right before I could.

    In all honesty, we just need consistent depth in the backcourt. Harden and Lin are being run into the ground...as you can tell from this game. We all know that they can play better than this, yet they still put up some pretty decent numbers.

    Well.... We aren't going 82-0 now. Time to trade Harden and Tank.
