    andrew bogut played big for the w's. really controlled the paint. when the rockets drive and dont get calls (esp. harden and lin) it's basically a turnerover

    Harden needs to be benched when he dribbles for 20 seconds and then passes it off with no time to make a decent shot. He played very selfishly today. Very disappointing. Sad how when there were about 5 minutes left every starter it seems stopped caring about the game and only started caring about how many points they could put up.

    this kind game is bound to happen every time we have a bad shooting night, because we don't have defense to stop opponent.

    LOL, you hating on him when he pretty much led the team back in the first place? Maybe he should be more like Harden and chill out on D and not wasted the energy there.

    At least people like you have stopped calling for more Beverley on the floor.

    Harden's effort on D was clearly lacking tonight. He just cant fight through screens or is always too late when closing out because he's ball-watching

    No one lit no one up...if you are talking about Lin and Curry. Curry played 44 minutes versus Lin's 35 minutes and scored 8 more points. The xfactor tonight was Klay...as Lee was contained.

    Curry is the best jump shooter in the league, he's gonna have nights like this on anybody, especially when Jeremy is getting held constantly, with no offensive fouls being called.

    Why? There is a play called pass the ball.

    When his double teamed, one team mates will be open, if tripled, two will be open. Just pass the ball.

    It's so frustrating becuz he CAN play good d. but sometimes he just gambles with no apparent reason.

    This is completely false. McHale & Sampson have both said otherwise.

    Dammit Lin quit being so friendly

    Klay was running of screens but there were times where harden gave up way to early fighting around those screens, didn't even put a hand up in Klays face & was walking back in transition because he didn't get calls. Hardens D was a big issue tonight when we were trying to bounce back.

    It's going to be so bad, that T-Rob won't even crack the playoff rotation.

    Morey traded two contributors Pat and Toney.

    For two non-contributors T-Rob and Francisco.

    T-Rob and Francisco won't even crack the playoff rotation! They are useless. And
    Beverley will be a playoff disaster that will force McHale to play Lin 45 minutes.

    I don't get why McHale doesn't just run Lin + Harden pick-and-roll to death instead of relying on Harden ISOs...the former is money whereas the latter ends badly more often than not.

    Normally I'd say blowouts are a good thing for a young team so they can make adjustments, but this team just doesn't learn, even after days of practice and preaching, they usually play worst.

    I always expect McHale to unleash at least one new play with our bigs whenever we have these long layoffs so we don't have to always play small, but na, we get the same offense everytime.

    .

    Not really the best game to put down Lin when he was the best Rocket player on the floor tonight.

    How does this work both ways? Klay Thompson is going to have shooting nights like this on anybody, especially when James Harden is getting held constantly.

    Look bro, we're both heated so I don't want this to get out of control. If I offended you I apologize. But realistically look over this game thread and all the other ones.

    Count how many negative comments you aim at Lin and count how many other comments you made. If you honestly think you are being an objective fan than again, I apologize. But I am asking you to really look and after you think on it ask if you are a positive contribution to this board or not.

    That is all I ask of you. See you next game.
