    Maybe that accountability will start showing up tonight. Supposedly McHale lit into the team after Game 1 which maybe is what they need. Embarrassing them during the game might not resonate as well as getting into them behind closed doors. This team will win with a good motivator at the helm if the players supposed to carry the squad grow up and play like they want to win.

    It's a players league and if you need a coach to adjust every thing for you on the court, then I question whether this teams roster has the IQ to win. That's not on coaching, that's on roster construction. Accountability is throughout an organization, not just the coach.

    Here is hoping that Clutch's post game headline is "Redemption!"

    According to Broussard Rockets players using rust as the excuse for the game 1 debacle.

    Fixed it for you!

    Taking the series should be considered as taking care of business for this Rockets team. Too much talent not to!

    Why? I thought that was pretty funny. It showed that Doc had a wicked sense of humor. And why shouldn't the LAC bench look happy at the end of that game? They won that game, end of story. If the positions had been reversed I guarantee that DH and the rest would have been grinning, singing and dancing on the bench. You folks need to accept that this is round two of the 2015 NBA Playoffs and they are not playing the Kings, Bobcats, Bucks anymore. They are facing a determined team that just sent the NBA champions home fishing - a team that just experienced the true fire of playoff competition. The Rox had better bring it or they'll soon find themselves out there fishing alongside the Spurs.

    Never got to see a Mchale or Harden post interview. Are we keeping these hidden too?

    It's late. This is playoffs, elite competition, and you can't forgive an opponent like LAC playing without their best player. Of course tonight they will play different, but homecourt advantage is already lost.

    If they lose this one, they have to win four of the next five. Ain't happening. If they can win here and split in L.A., I can see it going to 7 games.

    We are royally screwed tonight.

    Whether or not, CP3 plays tonight, we are gonna get proper ****ed.

    Crawford, Redick will go ham on us.
    Rivers will drop 20.
    We'll be watching Lob City in full effect.

    Get ready to be swept.

    Rockets lose

    Clippers 129
    Rockets 115

    Rust is if you haven't played in a month. 5 days isn't rust.

    Y'all don't understand the vstexas experience. His anti-jinxing prowess is essential to the Rockets success. This is good. There wasn't enough of vstexas in Game 1. Now...he's back in full force. Embrace it.
