    Let's not give Iggy any credit for the defense he played. You know the same guy who gave Harden tons of trouble last year.

    Hmmm. Oh well, the streak had to end sometime. Jeremy did look hesitant to do much of anything out there at the end except that one assist to Dwight - but somehow he ended up with the highest +/- this game at +9.

    When it got real he couldn't dunk over Jermaine O'Neal... he still has to grow up under the big lights of pressure games.

    When Dwight realized he could score in the post he should have PnR them to death.

    I feel like a lot of it is due to his short leash. He's scared to make mistakes or miss shots cause he'll get benched real quick. This is what McHale wanted right? No home run hitting, just low TOs and not making mistakes.

    Hard loss to swallow but the boys competed. That's all you can ask for. Had they blown us out, that would be a reason to be upset.

    Maybe because he was defended well, have you ever thought of that?

    casspi choked because if he held it any longer it would be inbound violation, but harden was right in front of him, althought covered a bit, but LIN had actually ran back to help.

    Can we just agree that the whole starting 5 was ass and the bench excluding Asik and DMO was ass and we still only lost by 4 or 5 points, one lost is nothing to be ashamed about if this was our 4th straight loss then it would be an issue, the guys will bounce back and just have faith in the team,this team has alot of untapped potential, and the players arent exactly playing smart they got carried away cause off last night, but we will be aight.

    Tough lose. Struggled so much in the first half, brutal officiating putting guys in foul trouble like Howard and Beverly, away from home. Harden carried us making plays on both ends for us.

    Not sure why Casspi played so much and Dmo so little. Horrible rotation choice. Dmo was contributing far more than Casspi. He was shooting far better than Casspi (2/5 vs. 1/5) and at least was a second big frame to use for screens to get some better shots in OT. I would have even went with T Jones, he played poorly but at least is a threat to get a second chance opportunity. Especially after Beverly went out, we needed that guy and Casspi is not that guy.

    Parsons went cold in the second half and Howard didn't give the team enough on the offensive end. Still a good game the Rox could still have won. Oh well, on to the next game.

    This game was kind of SMH. It looked like we just relied on Harden and when that failed we lost the game. Could really use a popovich...oh well in my dreams maybe.

    We should put Harden on PFs more often, he shut down Lee in the fourth and OT
