    They're playing really hard. Some of the Rockets could learn from them

    objectively we or most of us have already known Mchale is a mediocre coach in many ways. If the Rockets can keep winning in regular season and the playoffs, then everyone will still tolerate him as the head coach regardless. However so far we have seen his coaching in this series and the Rockets is put in a really bad situation of being eliminated. If the Rockets really get eliminated, all toleration for him will no longer exist. He will be a goner 99% and that is no more support from the front office to continue to keep him as the head coach. NBA is all business, money and a cruel world. Mchale has to go. We will see after next 2 games. After all this is a best 4 out of 7 series. so we will wait and hope is still there until it is over.

    They are the better coached team. IMO they are not the better team.

    Lin needs to start next game. We need to start penetrating more and get better ball movement. Both teams are bad at defense. If that's the case go with your strength, which is offense. We are not getting any ball movement, only ISO with Harden and Howard, which does not help our Run and Gun offense. Roll that dice McFail!

    It's Harden you are talking about right? Cause I really hope you are not blaming our "bench" player on this loss. If so you need to be laying off the sauce and go to bed. Our superstar shooting guard choked on us 2 straight playoff games. At least Lin tries to play D. Don't think Harden even knows what "try" means...

    Did we run the Lin/Harden pick and roll at all? That seems to be the one thing we do well.

    The Blazers have just beaten the Rockets twice and hammered away using LMA...having LMA torch you for 40 plus twice...The Blazers are the better team with a vastly superior coach.

    GTFO troll. Besides that stupid foul at the end, Lin played fine.

    Your Lin hate never fails. Just stop it. Call me LOF, but atleast Lin was playing solid D and was moving the ball. You have very low basketball IQ...

    I couldn't even make up these plays in real life yet he somehow does these moves.[/QUOTE]

    ok we get it you hate lin, don't worry, i'm sure he'll probably be traded then the team can get the power forward it needs to get somewhere.
    basically looking at portland you have a stud pg and stud pf. we don't which is why we are losing. it's not what rockets aren't doing it's what portland is doing which is taking it to this entire team right now.

    I don't think Portland is better coached, I just think they have players that actually give effort and hustle.

    It was harden made a bad pass to Asik. Asik caught the pass from Lin.

    According to you most of players were at average or above average, why the lost? Because Rockets is just an average team?

    We lost by ONE possession. Not Two Not Three. ONE.

    Having said that, these ridiculous turnovers, missed free throws, missed 3s, stupid fouls by Lin is what made this game down to one possession and still winnable by Harden.

    Are you guys all blinded by what is going on or what? HOLY COW!
