    It's a game like this where you really miss a big that can set solid screens or play the pick-and-roll effectively. Rockets have neither.

    Are this people real or are they just trolling? Despite the massively fatiguing schedule they are competing. They act like we should all over them. Unbelievable some people on this forum.

    Feel bad for Harden. OKC is doing everything they can to take him out. He should just stick with strip clubs and stop hitting on teammates' girlfriends.

    lin gets traps and double teams because teams feel they can force a turnover putting lin under pressure, harden gets double teamed because teams dont want him to get into the paint, get off a clean shot, or create for the team. lin isnt in hardens stratosphere offensively. flash in the pan lin has already been exposed, suspect handles, put the pressure on him.. this guy is not a winner, cant wait till his contract is done..

    Lol are people are posting are really dumb, or they seriously expect us to be beating arguably the best team this season after a back to back and a funeral with 2 flights.

    Even though these guys have had a long day I don't think that it absolves them of all wrong doing in this game or it makes it OK to play terribly. If you guys had a long day your boss can give too ****s, you still need to preform.

    Even after a long emotional day these guys can still warrant criticism.

    Last game when Lin's off the ball, he was actively moving. And in the first half, most of the time, he just stood there in the cornor. I am not sure if he's tired, but I dont feel the spirit.

    This may be one of the stupidest posts I've read in some time.

    So they double team Lin because they want to force TO's? It has nothing to do with his ability to create plays? Or drive to the basket?

    But when they double team ANYONE else in the league it's because they're offensive threats?

    Get out of your bias. Teams don't need to double-team to pressure the ball. They double-team to take the player out of the offense.

    Second this.

    Good news is Rox went on a 8-2 run in the last 3 mins of the first half after trailing by 18. Bad news is we are missing FTs.

    It's not just the long emotional day. It's

    1) Second half of a back to back
    2) Playing possibly the best team in the West, maybe in the entire NBA
    3) No Chandler Parsons, 2nd/3rd best player on the team
