    All of this is on McHale.

    Never, not once, did watching Sampson make me this annoyed.

    The Rockets offense is terrible. No movement in the offense at all. Its basically ball handler vs 5. See how the Mavs offense was flowing and everyone was setting screens and moving while the Rockets are just standing still watching the ball handler.

    The Rockets lost this game because of inferior coaching, and lack of experience. The Mavs execute down the stretch while the Rockets were making silly mistakes over and over.

    They scored 109 points on 50% shooting. Do you want 200 points or what?

    They lost b/c of defense.

    It's these slow starts the past few games. Everyone shoots like **** the first quarter and Harden has to keep us in the game.

    I want to thank Coach Sampson on his brillance of strategically leaving in TD to play defense on Mayo who btw just went off for his second best scoring night of his career. So glad we didn't play Lin because we all know TD is the best player out there in the whole entire world, right my LOHers :mad:

    Now that's frustration.

    And here I thought Houston was a city all these years!

    All BS aside, I'm surprised they managed to come back from double digits down. So at least be happy about the fact that they managed to comeback. We all know Harden can't win games by himself. Sure Mayo went off, but he got plenty of help. How many years did Lebron play before winning a ring? How many other all stars were on his team when he finally did it?

    Great... now go away. This is a team that is currently the youngest team in the league built by design. Not saying they are "tanking" the season, but they definitely are setup to be in rebuild mode.

    They got piece #1 with Harden, but its probably going to take another couple drastic moves or a good draft pick to get that next piece they need to make the jump up from young rebuilding team to future contender in the West.

    This is why we were warned about wishing for your team to tank. Its hard to watch tanking seasons. If guys like D-mo, and Machado were playing instead of Douglas and Patterson then it would be even more frustrating to watch. That experience would not be good for those young guys. It would only enforce bad habits that losing teams form. Go see Nick Young as an example.

    So my advice is if you cant handle it, go away until this team figures it out in a couple season. You can't let one game frustrate you like this even though I was cussing at the TV tonight myself. I understand, but b****ing about Morey isn't going to solve anything. He's done great at rebuilding this team without putting the fans through a decade of suckage. Just enjoy the basketball(ugly or not), or walk away.

    And drafting a undersize 6 9' power forward is?? The Rockets need to lure superstars which helps if the Rockets MAKE the playoffs. Side Note nobody in this years draft is worth anything they are all garbage nothing but role players

    Quit b****ing, we're around .500 with THE youngest team in the league. Multiple players with a high ceiling, and a bonafide star in Harden. I love watching this team, they'll continue to grow together and the rough patches right now will pay off later.

    I'm glad I skipped this game. :)

    I think my strategy going forward (at least while CSN isn't available) is to not bother watching the games live. If the Rockets win and it turns out to have been a good game, I might find a recording online and watch it.
