    Mchale lost his daughter and his mother but this man just isn't NBA coaching material. Should have fired him long ago and let him mourn his losses the right way.

    Seeing all the Harden and McHale hate; which is understandable, but Parsons played like trash too. Talks some **** and sucks it up today. Pathetic.

    I'm surprised it was even close. We shot worse, didnt move the ball, and howard had too many TO's.

    The Rockets won't go down without a fight. But it seems unlikely we can come back from this.

    --
    Rockets looked like they were in the driver's seat in the middle of the 2nd quarter. They had a 7 point lead, things were clicking. Then McHale took Lin out.. LMA came back in, and exploded. Asik could not contain him. And the we went to the half tied. -- That was the lost opportunity.

    This team still has no identity and a working game plan that works when the superstars aren't playing well (in this case it's Harden). Dwight was awesome and brought it. Only criticism I have is that he may tunnel vision sometimes and take it in for a bad shot when you should include teammates to kck it out and move the ball around more often (what Barkley said and I agree). There has to be balance so that each player touches the ball and becomes a threat and is not stagnant.

    Harden rushes everything and second guesses himself. He can't handle the pressure of playoffs. Parsons played well later to take over - but it was too late then. Things always happen too late for the Rockets and by that time there's not much time to make up. McHale makes his adjustments always too slow. Bev is the least selfish out there.

    Disappointing game.

    I'm not letting Dwight off the hook either. Dude was straight up dunking on people in the post in the first quarter. Then he reverted to garbage Dwight again with the slow ass moves trying to hook shot it.

    Why in the F would one hire Kevin Mchale as a head coach anyway??? That's just sooooo stupid... he doesn't even coach!

    I've been saying this for so long. You cannot just wing-it in the playoffs. Look at Portland and all of the screens and curls they have in their offense. Just is just such a shame. Bravo Morey! Bravo!!
