    I turned the game on at about the 10 minute mark in the 4th, so I'm not sure what happened in the first 2 minutes. But I think you're right. I don't recall them ever missing from that point on. They did have a few turnovers, but I'm pretty sure they made literally every shot they put up. I've never seen anything like that. Yes, some of it was just hot shooting, but you're seriously telling me that in 10 whole minutes you can't get just one stop defensively? Hell, the Rockets only needed one to win the game.

    He only played 10 minutes until the very end of the 3rd quarter. If McHale wanted him to manage the game in the 4th, he should've at least given him more playing time to get into the groove of things.

    Lol I knew we were going to need that three point shot Lin missed at the end of the third quarter.

    why do we wait until like 5 seconds left on the shot clock, Harden needs to be disciplined. I don't know if he is not trying hard or what. I just don't see a sense of urgency from him.

    That Dwight tech was a big factor and Marion's weird ass shot went in tonight

    This is what, our 3rd (4th?) blown double-digit lead in only 12 games?

    the dwight tech and the needless harden three pointer from way out, right after we lost the lead.

    that was it.

    The bench really didn't play many minutes, though. All the starters subbed in with more than 9 minutes left to play - up by 8. Starters lost this one.

    This is true, but this is why lin is not a star player. stars/superstars when they have nights like this, they find either ways to get to the free throw line, or other ways to contribute to the team. like when harden has terrible nights, he gets to the line to make points, he does something productive.
