    The Rockets have to go 1-2 in their last 3 with Portland winning out in order to lose home court. Or 0-3 if the Blazers lose one more game. In other words, they almost have to intentionally p-ss it away. If that happens, McHale probably isn't here next season.

    We're turning in to the f***ing Knicks, letting scrubs go for career games against us...Foye with 30+, 15 assists, Brewer with 50+?

    Well. You make a right play and accept the consequence.

    Even superstars need to make the right play. Regardless og how you feel about Lin. And regardless of how he was shooting tonight. The fact is Lin was open and he is perfectly capable of hitting an open three pointer.

    He made clutch free throws, a 3, and a steal or 2 to bring the Rockets into this game. Whoever was guarding Brewer and Dieng....

    No, it's not like scoring 30 points. It's 50 points we are talking about here. It take Super Stars forever to make a 50 points game. Coach and players all need to be blamed if a Brewer scored 51 points on you. Any adjustment, any attempt, any effort, throwing at him, it wouldn't have happened.

    Lin was good from 3 tonight, but Harden has earned the right to do whatever he wants with the ball in that situation....and this is coming from me of all people

    Just a percentages thing. All the Wolves were clearly swarming to Harden, so he wouldn't even be able to get a shot off. Might as well pass it to someone who can try an attempt, Lin or someone else.

    Mchale gambled hard on winning this game. Harden with 46 minutes played. He could've rested all his starters for the final games if he had won this one. Now Harden will have to play and he's pretty banged up from this game.

    The lose is not the worst thing yet.

    Harden 46, Parsons 42,

    tomorrow : 4th game in 5 days after a long tough road trip.

    Good luck.

    Lin doesn't have the clutch gene...plain and simple

    That's why Harden has to take it himself
