    I agree. This game means nothing but one simple loss in a long season.

    What we need to see is how our new team looks against some of the west best teams.

    This is just one of those silly losses that a good team just drops occasionally. It is funny though, Chicago can lose to the Magic and no one will bat an eye at it...but this will knock our stock down in the Media's eye.

    We scored 113 points and LOST!? That should never happen to a team that claims they are great defensively. Ironically it's the offensive end that killed us defensively. 22 points off turnovers for ORL.

    Howard and Harden both outplayed by Vucevic and Oladipo.

    Magic already have a nice core and will get another great draft pick this year. They will be scary down the road.

    Smith was a +10 but you still can't have him shooting threes. 2-11 and 0-4 3pt won't cut it. I'm curious how much his minutes will get reduced once TJones returns.

    Btw, Howard's defensive effort is too often not there neither. ¿? So this is not only about Harden.

    Why does everyone one on clutchfans overreact? I agree it was a bad game for us but still we have a lot of time before the playoffs to get things right.

    Oladipo has improved his jumper a lot

    Me neither, only that you need to win many games like this one to get into playoffs and get better position.

    So much Contradiction in these GT.

    First its "Bev is the perfect next to Harden, now he is the worst"

    First its "Rockets dont need another playmaker at the PG cause Harden needs the ball now its Harden is doing to much"

    I'll never understand this with McHale. We're in a back to back situation and yet Papanikolaou doesn't play at all?

    Our defense really hasn't been as good as it was early in the year.

    Disappointed but these type of games are unfortunately needed to fix the little issues/mistakes.

    Howard has been really slow rotating.

    Teams take him out of the game by just having a big that can shoot stretch the floor because Howard will not close down the lane. He'll just watch whoever go down there and get layups and dunks.

    McHale should put Cannan to startline, and put Pbev to the bench

    Despite all the TOs, despite all the defensive apathy, despite all the boneheaded, stupid, lazy plays, one difference in the final score could be interpreted as their playing their old fart scorer (Ben Gordon) and us not playing ours. So... was Jason Terry hurt, tired, getting traded, or what?
