    isn't that what Lin is? A PG who drives and dishes?

    whatever the case, Win or loss, you just can't leave out the player who has been playing awesome "qb" for the whole game for the ENTIRE OT.

    I am speechless

    Sampson wanted to revive heroball Harden? It make no sense to sit your top assist guy in entire OT.

    Do you agree that TD should have played all of OT? Do you believe that the ref's made all the right calls down the stretch? As a player, you put your head down and ignore bad calls. As fans, we have every right to question them. The NBA has lost a lot of it's fan base over incompetent refs. The key to calling a game is consistency in your calls, which there was absolutely none of tonight. If complaining about this "rookifies" me, that I guess it's worth it in order to voice my opinion.

    Our offense is so predictable. Free lance pick and roll, free-lance pick and roll, free-lance pick and roll. How about running a play every once in a while down the stretch?

    LOL, Harden is the only reason we were in this game, let alone forced overtime.

    I dont know whether to cry or vomit and Im sure the players feel the same because they know they're coaches suck.


    It was a heartbreaking loss but not the players fault. Let's still take the positives!
    EVERYONE FINALLY played their POSITIONS, was utilized properly and the offense was naturally flowing with great defense to go with it all.
    Rockets' don't even look anywhere near being the youngest team in the league and that alone is very telling. Their potential is huge, just imagine them with competent coaches? it's hard not to get excited :)
    So proud of these young fellas.

    I'll try to convince myself of this too so I won't feel so bad.

    Sampson benched Lin because Lin split the double team and kicked it out to Harden for the 3 pointer.

    Sampson told Lin he wasn't supposed to be a PG, but Lin's job was to camp in the corner.

    That's true, but against other fringe playoff teams it's like a double loss because they'll have the tie-breaker most likely!
