    Yeah, like that time we beat Memphis without most of our players right?

    McHale up next next on Root post game interview. Guess he will be ticked off and look at the stat sheet crumple it up as he exits the room.

    I'd like to try Shved over Terry (if Terry is not scoring) and get Papa more PT. Harden just needs to stop driving into traffic. He needs to stop dribbling so much and just make a quick move, whatever it will be.

    So the only contenders in the West are LAC and GSW then right? We've beaten all of the other teams.

    The Spurs struggles are due to Kawhi's absence, some other injuries, and possibly(although we can't be certain just yet) Father Time finally catching up with that team. The Mavs just made a major trade for Rondo, but they've been winning for the most part since they acquired him. Their inconsistent play is due to them being a mediocre defensive team, but their offense is so good that most nights they can get away with it. The Clippers....no argument there. They have way to much talent to be this streaky. Something isn't right with that team this year.

    Harden's game relies on contact. The refs tonight made some boneheaded calls against him, and because of it he never got in rythm. This isn't all on the refs because Harden needs to learn to score in different ways. His shot wasn't falling and he couldn't drive to the basket. Unfortunately this game shows us not that Harden is incapable of being our MVP, rather that when Harden is off no one else steps up. Dwight showed hints of it, but post up alone is not enough.

    Went exactly as expected.

    No coach, one man offense gets shut down, gimmick exposed, morey doesn't get it.

    Can't wait for the same thing to happen in a April

    Mchales's solution to everything is "we have to play harder".

    How about we play smarter instead.

    I've been consistently posting on clutch fans for over 7 years. Your original point was about Portland and it was disproven...accept it, move on, and stop being an apologist for the pathetic performance we all witnessed tonight.

    There can only be one eternal homer on clutch fans and that's larsv8.

    We looked like we didn't really care about this game.

    We beat Memphis at their place(granted without Zach and before they got Green). We beat OKC badly the other night and they were at full strength.

    The Rockets can beat really good teams. But they have to play hard and smart. They've been doing neither far too often lately. They need to get it through their thick heads that their recent upgrade in talent doesn't mean they can just show up to the arena every night and pencil in a W. You have to actually go out there and earn those wins, even against sh-tty teams but especially against the likes of the Warriors.

    Then COACH - bench your starters - put in reserves, send a message - for crying out loud - you are the coach, stop making excuses.

    What chemistry we didn't beat many good teams with what we got.

    Team was struggling when Dwight came back and Smith wasn't here what was the excuse then?

    7-3 and +4.5 when coming from the bench.

    He was one of the reason we beat Memphis and OKC with him from the bench and the game in Orlando he was +10 don't blame it on him.

    Tell me our record vs Good teams that were healthy with smith from the bench and without him, you will realize that we weren't wining many, we built a great record vs garbage teams or depleted teams.
