    If Bev is done, we're done. Good season, guys, there's always next year.

    Howard and harden started off cold. saw Howard miss like 5 close shots. bricks. then at jack time he couldn't even hit 1/2. that was the difference but team failed at and to gets rebound.

    Garcia was rotating out...he needed to go to his left which from this picture appears he was hampered from doing. I don't know if I agree with you. Harden was 8 of 28 shooting and was TRIPLE TEAMED. We do definitely agree about the 6th foul on Dwight being all the more damaging.

    Disagree. He's good but lillard still went off. If we get an aggressive Lin to attack lillard like they were doing to harden, we am still win it.

    Canaan hit them threes though

    Please give balanced critiques so we can focus on both sides.

    Everyone talking about all these reasons why the lost. It is simple.

    Could not get a stop in the 4th/OT when they needed to, and then when they did they could not get the rebound.

    Same problem the team has had most of the year. Same problem that has to be fixed for this team to truly compete for a championship.

    Pretty ****ty to have your season go down in one night/one game because of one player.:eek:

    Not that the season or series is over but that obviously hurts.

    The **** do you think I did?

    Are you LOF so blind you can't even read sentences that don't have the word Lin in them?

    It wasn't just the late calls. The refs were bad throughout the whole game. Regardless our defense cannot let that lead slip in the 4th.

    Its quite different in the playoff. Harden need to prove it at this stage. So it is a bit annoying to hear people calling him the top 5 player this season. Maybe people just expect Harden to step up his defensive play automatically. However, it takes time.

    Everything I did not want to happen...happened.

    LA going off against us. 46pts? Damn Jones.....Good forwards always seem to have career games against him all the time.

    PB getting injured again. I kept saying he should take it down just a notch to stay healthy. Damn...I hope it's not serious.

    Predictable crunchtime plays by Mchale. ie. just give it to Harden and let him iso it.

    Boneheaded TOs by several players.

    And most importantly...us losing a game we should have won.

    That may be the truth. PB's value is in making Lilliard work his arse off with his defense. He brings more D than the rest of the team combined. He is a HUGE piece of the puzzle.BTW, the lack of urgency didn't just show up tonight...seen it all season. And DMO ? He couldn't guard air much less LMA.

    Ummm ... how about double teaming Aldrich ? How's that for an idea, McHale ... I haven't seen one successful double team all night. Let alone most of the season.

    How about not putting jones in the game to guard 5 wing players, making it obvious to the blazers to put him in a pick and roll

    Bev's aggressive D could not limit Lillard, easy to injury and get into foul trouble.

    It's a fool's gold sold by the Rockets organization to the media and fans.

    He should come off the bench and provide spark on D.

    The "Wolverine" thing is such a joke.
