    But down 9 with 3 minutes to go, you still have a shot. You don't concede the game that early. The fact that Kerr ran his starters back in there showed even he was nervous about the outcome. Sorry, but don't give me any crap about McHale sending a message to his starters. Harden should've been in there.

    Mchale did the right thing by not putting any of the starting 5 back in. The 5 that closed out the game played with heart and determination. Harden did as well but why take that risk of getting him injured.

    The good news is if we face them again it'll be in the playoffs. Hopefully we figure out how to correct our issues between now and then and it's like they're playing a whole new team.

    I really think Dwight is the problem. Our team hasn't been the same since he's returned to the lineup. We seemed to be better with Black as center. D-Mo got the post ups and Black always gave 100%.

    But what do you do with that? You can't possibly trade Dwight, can you?

    I've never heard of a coach not obligated to coach when his team is down 9 with more than 3 mins left. He didn't call a single time out to at least coach or come up with a game plan. McHale should be fired for that....

    That game made me hate GS even more. That 3 at the end and Curry acting like a baby after being bumped into to. They act like spoiled rich kids.

    They are not going to be able to shoot like they are now every game in the playoffs and it's going to bite them in the later rounds.

    Steve Kerr is an arrogant dick, I don't care who wins the title this year as long as the GSW's lose preferably in the first round.

    Why in the hell did douche Mchale not put Harden back in when it got to 9 ????

    I'd like to agree with you, but this team lacks any player movement. If the rest of the team was moving the right way, I'm sure Harden would be the first to pass the ball and let the offense flow.

    If Kerr can put in the starters to secure a win why would it be ridiculous to put Harden in to steal one?

    With how the rockets played tonight, the disrespect is well deserved. The worst thing is that the next time we play GS, they'll probably re-enact this rape.

    Dorsey has been great. 7 point and 12 rebounds in 15 minutes. Compare that to Howard's 7 points, 11 rebounds 4 TO in 24 minutes. Dorsey wanted it more.

    If I was McHale, I would seriously consider making changes to the starting line-up. Particularly at point guard.

    I'm fine with not putting Harden back in. Maybe we have a chance to win, but it's still 1 game out of 82 and these so-called NBA players we have on our roster need to learn to stop counting on Harden to do their job for them.

    Even tough I knew we weren't going to make the comeback, I feel a little better that our bench gave some effort to make the score look better.

    What game were you watching harden made more than enough passes to teammates tonight and no one could do anything. 1st quarter harden had his hand on 90% of the points

    That 3 at the end was a non issue. He passed it to Speights and he luckily got a 3. If it was about a lack of sportsmanship, Curry would have shot it himself. The shot clock was running out, what else are they supposed to do?

    I understand continuing to play the group that brought you back into the game. But with 3 minutes left and the game in single digits, why not go for the win? I guess boosting Shved's confidence is nice, but it would've been fun to see what could've happened
