    Guess this one has to be on the Coach. Decided not to foul again with a 2-point lead in regulation. And also no imagination on set plays. If Harden is in, then Harden iso. Without Harden, then it is dump the ball to Howard.

    JLin played way too much time and picked up too much TO in 4th quarter.
    Simply because overused
    But he is also the reason why we are still in game today.

    So, conclusion:
    Rotation issues
    Lin is way short to guard Anderson, coach's fault

    Did we play even like, 2 minutes of actual defense tonight?

    Dwight got outplayed late, Parsons+Lin had too many turnovers, and the guys were gassed, no Asik

    I think the blame here has to ultimately go to the coach...

    I am sorry, but yes you freaking can.

    He let a D-league score 36 points on him on 16 shots. He had turnover after turnover in the 4th quarter and the only starter with a negative +/- for the game.

    I thought Chris Paul's explosion on Lin was going to be the worst of the season, but it is becoming more and more clear he is a huge liability on defense.

    Smith, D Mo and Brewer the ones that didn't play, it also hurts that we had a few out with injury and illness

    Lin score's more than 0 in the 4th, we prolly don't go to OT. Good game in the other quarters though

    I would like to say that even any of the coaches in the China basketball league will surely be better than McFail when this team are facing the problem about how to put that f***ing ball into the basket in the last seconds of a game.

    so does this mean we sign Anderson to a terrible contract in the offseason?

    Lin had 8 TOs, but I'd be surprised if you wanna blame the loss on him.

    Parsons had some bone-headed plays to end the game. FTS, turnovers eugh. Lin with 8 as well.. I know CP had that block but some of his decision making and shots were crap.

    The one time Mchale chooses to run a play to end the game and he goes away from the hottest player all night, to the one that couldnt even make FTs.

    I don't wanna blame our guys. Apparently everyone tried their best and worked really hard. Mchale should learn how to design the final shooting better. I cannot remember when is the last time we got the last shooting in. It seems we screwed all of them.

    Before Anderson hit that 3 we had a foul to give?

    It's fifty/fifty acording to feigen. Rockets are just unlucky right now. With our luck, if we had fouled, they would have made 1 ft, and get the rebound for a 2 pt

    I guess analytics goes right out the window when everyone lacks confidence in their 3 point shot.

    Meanwhile, we run very little for Dwight....the dude we just paid 88 million for.
