Another loss Spurs will be rested and Rockets still on bs like minute restriction on Dwight and playing Dorsey too much.
And funny thing is Pop was just playing around. He has several gears left DUde rarely out Kawhi on Harden. Just saving for the playoffs and yet schools McFail
Another one of those games where it's more demoralizing how we lost than the actual loss. At least the last 4 minutes had some fight.
I'm not gonna fault the guy for relying on a player who could be the MVP of the league. But he needs to start working in the youngsters into the rotation over the course of the season. The D-League isn't enough. Give these guys some minutes, let them get some experience, and find out for sure if they can play in this league or not. When exactly is he planning to play them if not now? When they're almost through their rookie contracts?
If your opponents will double team Harden, which every team will do in the playoff, he needs to swing the ball quick, either back to the arc and then for a lob to Dwight, or just swing to the other side for a Dwight low post play, just dumping the ball to Josh or Prig for a long 3 is a horrible play.
Ducan, Parker and Gino didn't even play much. But I think if they do, the Spurs are probably not going to be this good. Harden needs to drive more. Josh needs to force less.
we got our tails kicked on defense. its playoff basketball. now we know what to expect in the playoffs. mchale better adjust and give mcdaniels and johnson some pt or we are going to struggle against the opposing pgs. think we will bounce back on friday.
That's how it looked when I attended the Phoenix game a few weeks ago. Not surprisingly, that was the last time the Rockets lost badly. The good news is they bounced back their next game(albeit against a mediocre team like the Pacers).
TJ is a no show today, what happened to him? Terry will be abused by every PG in the remaining games...He is not a PG, period! When was the last time Rockets dominate another team? This team has zero ability to maintain the lead... not looking good for playoff run at all
Just checked Dwight only played 20 mins. Pitiful coaching job. Dwight has been checked to play 28 minutes. PLAY HIM
McHale didn't do any adjustment,this is his coach style. No way the team can win an elite team in playoff if McHale cann't realize his problem
Its night like tonight where I have a lot of respect for Westbrook. He will go out and give it everything he's got for his team to win even if he has to shoot 30 times. There's no way Harden should have shot 15 times tonight. No way.
