    are you trolling? this is funny if you are? Lin wasn't better than bev in this game? EVERYONE was better than BEV this game... are you blind?

    PB is fine. He is so supposed to do the dirty job out there while Harden is sleeping on the defence end. Coaching cost us the game.

    A competent coach draws up a play with multiple options. That play was just one screen, and hopefully Parsons hero ball. Ridiculous.

    it doesn't matter who deserves to start or not. IMO Lin's number is already and it is a matter of when and how he will be traded by end of his contract when a deal can be made. If not, he will be released after his contract expires. In current situation, Bev will always start over Lin regardless of how they play, like it or not, fan or not fan.

    McHale showed no ability to draw up a simple play to get someone an open shot at the end. That was a terrible way to end the night.

    This is a first round exit team at best even maxed out ! Looking at the box score Memphis bench scoring is spread out and Roxs is horrid. ! Rox have no bench, no coach and a ton of inconsistent play......

    Terrible play calls because he should've drawn up a play that freed up Parsons for a catch & shoot, not to create.

    Stupid McFail.

    Not in crunch time. McFail either draws up an ISO or some sort of dumb play that results in a turnover(like at the end of the Hawks game).

    can someone email the rockets organization or NBA or whatever, and tell them to update their records for the 9 3-pointers thing. cuz that's pretty messed up they would miss out on that - on Lin sharing the record with Horry

    The blame has to start with the superstars and the coach as usual. I don't know why people are obsessing over Beverley not shooting well when it's not even his main strength for the team. Harden is clearly getting paid to SCORE more than anything else and he only had 2 field goals. Dwight was great when he was in the game but wasn't in the game long enough due to his foul trouble.

    1-10 is not fine. 1-11 is not fine. That is not a fine thing to have against the grizzlies. no FT's. no assists. that's a terrible performance. and the ROckets lost.

    most of our losses were because we were out coached....putting harden on zbo in the 3rd was stupid...putting the ball in parsons hands two possessions in a row was ****ing stupid...why not run parsons off double screens for a shot instead of having him dribble

    This, Mchale is hopeless at calling plays. In the Words of Rick James Chappelle "Shoulda never gave that ^&$%&^ money. He's Kubiak status now and to whoever said all he says is play harder aint lying. His play probably just said Parsons is hot, uhhhhh play harder???

    If anyone remembers Lin and harden scored 25 in the 4 quarter last time we played the grid for a great come back win

    Man Sampson really loves bev

    Nice game by Parsons wasted

    Lin, Parsons and harden are the closers

    This team wins on unbelievable talent alone(thibs contract ends after this year with the Bulls)

    They are 1 points behind.
    They should drive and take the fouls.

    Taking 3 is the dumbest move ever.
