    Back to back games. They looked tried. I don't think Rockets can play worst. But only down by three.

    This is where the coaching comes into play. Let's see if we fix our numerous miscues after halftime or if our coaching staff is incompetent.

    IN the 2nd half, Harden needs to play consistent D, limit TO's, get Asik more involved under the basket and keep running and we we be ok.

    i agree, if you weren't watching the game you would think the rockets are getting blown out based on the points they are only 3 points down.
    they just need to be careful coming out of halftime and not let the lead get to like 9+.

    ball is getting sticky, except when it lands in Omer's hands, then it just slips out.

    This is a game where not have a low post threat is hurting the Rockets.

    Lin's 5 Turn overs:

    1 - Lost the handle - poor play

    2 - Attempted pass to Asik who fumbled it. Medium difficulty pass.

    3 - Attempted lob to Morris/Smith, intercepted by Twolves - Risky play

    4 - Easy pass to Asik who fumbled it.

    5 - Offensive foul call - horrible call from refs.

    So 2 genuine TOs that were his fault. 1 both his and Asik's fault, 1 Asik's fault and 1 on the refs.

    Lin is pissed. Let's see how he responds in the second half.

    Harden brutal on D and Lin turning the ball over at a ridiculous pace. Needs to change in the second half

    Omer is just tired. Same as the other, Lin and Harden.

    Alright, aside from the referees we need
    - Asik to catch passes
    - stop settling for quick long twos or threes
    - move the ball
    - Harden to try and play defense
    - help each other on defense and communicate!
    - McHale to rotate better

    Even if Rockets lost today, I won't blame the players.
