    I wish lin would be this aggressive at the start of the game... he either waits too long or keeps giving the ball to Harden...

    Why cant we beat these guys?

    That last missed layup Lin was getting pushed. No foul call either. Refs give and take with some calls.

    Man, we're going to lose this due to straight-up absent minded coaching to start the 4th quarter. This is SO frustrating!!

    Harden and Lin COULD NOT DEFEND Lawson and Miller in the 4th.

    That's it. Game over. Rockets lose.

    Ok, let me break it down for you since a lot of you East coast fans don't know a lot about Denver. You rest starters to prepare them for the fourth quarter so they don't play bad down the stretch when it matters (like now). So this "benching" was probably to keep him fresh to prevent what we have now.

    I'm going to lay off McHale for this game. They have been playing better but we should have beat them tonight going away.

    Even now it's clear our starters played well together and to stick with the 2nd unit while our momentum was lost and our lead was just stupid.

    Yep. And we were in too deep in a hole already for Lin and Harden to bring us back.

    Don't forget when TD was inexplicably benched when he was playing well in previous games too. It just doesn't make much sense...

    I've been saying this all along, Mchale has a problem with Lin for some strange reason. Benched him in multiple games in the 4th, they lost pretty much all of them. Now, benching Lin from 7 minutes in the 3rd all the way to 9 minutes in the 4th. Is he trying to show that the Rockets can run without him? Is he trying to show people that they don't need Lin to win this game. F*** Mchale.

    thank you to the coaching staff for their unfathomable strategies and unorthodox tactics.
