    We are hard on McFAIL for many reasons. Doesn't seem to have a game plan on most nights, no in game adjustments, don't hold players accountable even stars. Horrid subsitutions, players playing out of position or handling responsibilities out of their skill set. Horrible post game interviews. The list goes on. And he suppose to be well qualified for his coaching job.......

    It's because Mchale knows Lin can play much better than that, and since Lin is taking responsiblity for the offense tonight.

    I knew there was going to be a lot of melodrama from LOFs after the comment that McHale yelled at Lin, but I'm surprised how dramatic you guys got. Calm down, take a breath. It's like 8 pages on how evil McHale is, lol.

    I don't understand why anyone would be ****ting on Harden, as this is an example of what can happen when he's out. Not only is he our #1 scoring option (and deservedly so), but by just being on the floor he makes defences worry about him and get our other guys better looks.

    Lin needs to play with Asik.

    Same here. You never see McHale getting into Harden's face for a TO even though Harden leads the league in TOs.

    I think he's referring to more than this game, but if you want to pick out tonight's game; the early substition in the 1st quarter when he's doing pretty well orchestrating the offense. Yes I know it has been the new trend to automatically sub him out at around that mark, but do you always have to follow that script? Especially with no Harden tonight.

    I'm not saying he's playing horribly, but he consistently plays below what we paid for him. I get it, we are playing flop city, but we need a much bigger game from him tonight.

    It isn't enough from him. We need more. When he is on the court and Harden is out this is his team. He isn't carrying himself out there like this is his team.

    I'm not saying Lin is garbage, I didn't say that at all. All I was saying is that if this team was Lin and KMart it would be a much more depressing season. People, we are seeing what the Rockets would be like without Harden, and it is evident Harden is worth every penny we put out there. Can you honestly say when Lin is the leading scorer on a team down 20 he is worth his contract? Can you really say that with a straight face?

    Talking plus minus? Let's see. Aldrich is a -3 while Asik -17. Do you also find it "interesting" that everyone still prefers Asik over Aldrich?

    LOL at the plus minus number stuff. You do know that you should not compare a starter's plus minus to a backup right?

    Lin Fan's are always saying Lin is the "quarterback", well quarterbacks get most of the heat not the receivers... its sad if he can't take it. Sad thing is I think HE can, its just you guys that create drama.

    He got sat out because he had 2 fouls, by the half he has 3. I will say he was a bit hard on him for the turnover though.
