    Yeah it really worries me that CP3 was out and we couldn't win. Granted we played really poorly and we lost this game. It was lack of effort. You'd think that a pro basketball team wouldn't have effort issues in the freakin' playoffs

    That Jamal Crawford banked 3 was when I knew the Rockets were finished. Completely zapped them.

    McHale is a trash ass coach. Hopefully Les hires Thibs and we can play real bball next year.

    If a team needs to be motivated to win in the playoffs. Then that group just doesn't have it. It's never too late to find some heart, just can't win it all without it.

    Umm... Those 5-6 minutes when Harden was on the bench was the best basketball This team played all night.

    I've been a fan since the franchise moved to town from San Diego. Some up years, some down years. Never seen anything like this.

    I've always hated this teams attitude. They always just play so cool acting like they've accomplished something. How the **** do you not get up for a second round game?

    Mchale is right though.

    You can talk all about coaching but that was a lack of energy and focus.

    That Harden behind the back TO was the perfect example of that, already had a bunch of TOs and just threw it away.

    Josh Smith dribbled all the way down the court playing one on one ball.

    Ariza and Jet with a couple of jump passes for TOs

    It was horrible energy.

    In Hardens defense, staff has no gameplan and it shows. We beat most teams just on talent. He is going thru the same stuff Lin went to.

    Read and react is not the same as motion offense

    Don't worry guys, if we lose this series, Les will make it all better by giving McHale another extension.

    You're the poster who derailed my point about Harden not showing up like a MVP runner-up. Now you own it dude.

    Let's talk Rockets shall we?

    What adjustments do we need to see from our PLAYERS on the court in game 2?

    The saddest part was the best defense the Rockets tried to play was when the Clippers was just dribbling the clock out. Like for real? Lose with some class.

    The most deserving coach on our staff that deserves a HC job and contract extension is JB Bickerstaff. Just a pathetic effort tonight.

    Going to the gym angry now.

    The Rockets needed a heart transplant, 'cause they weren't playing with a pulse. It's all on the players. Harden wasn't a leader tonight.

    The entire team crapped the bed, including the coach. Griffin had 3 fouls early in the 3rd. They never attacked him. When the 3s weren't falling they didn't attack the basket. McHale left Josh Smith in the game way too long. It was all around
