Had Asik not been on the bench, we wouldve got that rebound, and we wouldnt have needed a three to win.
wow as bad as Hero ball Harden is, Lin air balled it as well. I can't blame Harden or Lin, they both blew it. They really almost took down Lebron and the Heat with team work.
Seriously, we lost to the Heat by 3. Collapse or no collapse it was still a great game played by both the players and coaches. Remember, our two best guys (Lin, Harden) were consistently owned by the Heat last year. Everyone's focusing on that one airball but at the end of the day that's just one shot out of 100+ taken during the game. If you look at who we just fought I think our team did great, esp. since no rookie made an appearance again
Lin just lost his mojo. That 3 pointer could be Linsanity all over again but he blew it. Couldn't blame anyone for that.
Harden iso's killed us to be exact. I also would imagine he blew up the play that was drawn on the final shot.
Well...No one was exactly moving around...Harden tried, but all he was left with was that...What'd you expect...That was what was drawn up apparently. The only thing was they were thinkin Harden was going to get his jab step, and LBJ played good D, and stayed right on him, tough shot...But no one was moving around...Lin however was wide open...
I agree with this, the coaching at the end was horrible. Why make Harden Iso plays now when they haven't worked the whole game. Ball movement is what kept us in it and everyone (except Lin's) hot hands.
The absolute worst part? He always starts the offense WAY too late in the shot clock. He gives himself 6 freaking seconds from the three-point line to create something. That's just psychotic.
If you bring back Harden and Lin why not Asik. He was playing well against Bosh and he could have those key rebounds the Heat were getting in the last couple of minutes. Oh well, at least the team is getting better.
So sick of Harden hero ball. I don't think that final play was for harden. He just took it upon himself to shoot a contested 3.
good game though, i am officially rocket fan now young guns could make mistakes, but the coach...unforgive.. no damn coach out there
Lol some of u guys have no patience... It's going to take some growing pains for this team to click. We just played a good game against the best team in the NBA. I am excited for our future.
Growing pain. Tough loss, team fought hard but couldnt close out. Terrible coaching, Asik should have been in the game at least for the last 5 mins, the loss is on Sampson, defense couldnt keep up. In last possession Lin was asking for the ball but Harden ignored, chucking up a contested three and missed. **** all the haters, my rockets played well overall and it was a damn entertaining game.
