    Lin knows we won't stop Portland.

    You know those knee-jerk were people say lets trade/fire everyone? That actually doenst sound to bad ATM loooool

    Trade Parsons
    Trade Lin
    Trade J-Jones
    and get a real coach with an actual game plan.

    Play defence for one possession and you still have the chance to tie it. Either McHale instructed to foul or Lin just made a bone headed play. I'm suspecting the latter as Bev was pissed at Lin for fouling.

    I hope nobody on this board takes this loss to heart.
    It's a complete joke at this point. Harden was passive and scared for two straight games.
    We need another star and a few GREAT shooting vets.
    Dwight was a beast, but collectively we can't defend, shoot or create for others as well as we're ultimately going to need to.

    if McHale told Lin to foul there then I've had it.

    Fire him after this game

    Just terrible coaching. McHale has to be one of the worst coaches. Not the worst, but one of them.

    All of you who defended Harden for his defense and chastised everyone else that was the same thing that happened in the Miami game with Ray Allen

    Everyone blaming Lin, pretty sure McHale probably told them to foul.

    Rockets can still win, but probably lose the series.
    Not mad though.

    Houston might be an MJ retirement away from 0 ships.
    Comets, Aeros, Dynamo are invalid. No NHL team either.

    Blazers knew what was at stake this game. Winning tonight meant they win the series with the next two in portland, even if the rockets steal 1 in their house.

    Rockets didnt come out like it was game 7 and that is what great teams do when they go down in a series.

    Lin foul wouldn't have mattered. Were still down and will most likely lose.
