The Crash and Burn of this team is gunna be real. So much for a brotherhood loool

 

the numbers are clear, lamarcus a bad fit for houston.

 

So much anger... he's a functional 6th man, nothing more, nothing less. I don't get the hate or the love for that matter. His ceiling is Sam Cassell levels... if he can get 80% there, it should be enough if everyone plays as if it was January again.

 

Listen to the post game press conference and you will hear Mchale talk about Offense Offense Offense.

Nothing about the other side of the floor

 

i got so sick and tired of LMA stupid looking face after every shot. he even seemed surprised he had another game as good as the 1st. no one really on our team to get physical with him. we need a true power forward.

 

McFail trying to but the blame on Lin telling him to foul.
Seriously.. If somehow we do tie and we would of lost in OT. bev, dho, & harden all had 5 fouls.

 

Not angry or surprised. OK, a little surprised. I expected the Rockets to win in six, not lose in five which is looking far more likely. The Rockets are falling apart, and that's on McHale, but Harden is a bigger concern. Like Francis, he was given the reins of the franchise without having to earn it. That must change next season. No more cake walking for 82 games. Next year, Harden needs to earn his shots or get fewer of them.

 

Parsons is one of the few guys who actually has showed up in both games. He's done exactly what he did in the regular season.

 

He's been worthless all season and he's worthless in the playoffs.

Was there a play that I missed where he was amazing? He's worst than any other player out there when he's on the court. Am I correct or not?

 

last I checked......you gotta get stops

 

Right, blame the loss on a bench.

 

Come on McHale, coach harder!

 

This is hilarious. Really, the guy off the bench?

 

Kelvin Sampson actually told Zach Lowe last year that we didn't have a playbook: Learning the playbook is not an issue, because Houston doesn’t really have a playbook. “We don’t have to stop practice and say, ‘OK, now let’s go over our plays,’” Sampson says. “We don’t have any plays. During the flow of the game, very rarely do we run an actual play.”

Too late to talk about defense. Rockets never good at that. Offense on the other hand could be much better.

 

About James Harden... It's one thing to suck in a series. That's bad but understandable.

But in the last few minutes, he: (1) Turned the ball over and just threw his hands up as his opponents rushed down for a fast break, and (2) inexplicably lost his man for an easy home run layup.

 

Talk is cheap as we well know. Ask Chandler Parsons.

 

Huh??????



HUH?????????


WUT????????????

 

Well, what about that triple double? So every single player in Rox got triple double?

Come down to earth, man..
