    They would hack Joey and he's worse than Jordan.

    This definitely needs to be looked at by the NBA. Hawes obviously being officiated unfairly.

    Very little first half defense by the Rockets, but they can still win it. Just a mediocre effort might do it. Very winnable game at this point. If Harden heats up and Brewer and Smith start playing more effectively it can happen. Howard is doing great, just keep it up. Could make a few more FTs though.

    I seriously believe we have a major flaw on the coaching side with McHale. Let's take a small look at the PG and SG battle or lack there of. Chris Paul is playing on one leg at the moment and we aren't attacking him you also have JJ Reddick going off running wild on screens.

    If I'm coaching this game it takes a little tweet or two to exploit these two match ups. First of all pressure Chris Paul the full length of the court by inserting Nick Johnson, yes I said Nick Johnson. He is simply a better defender than terry or Prigioni. I know Terry has hit some shots but we can also utilize Johnson on Reddick as well to fight through screens and provide an up to par athlete. McHale has some pieces he can use off the bench but he simply does not utilize them the way Doc Rivers gets the most out of his crew. Simple as that.
    You also have to make Chris Paul work on the defensive side of the ball run him off screens and such.

    He won't be worse than 12%...that's what Dwight was in a recent game.

    Probably because the refs swallowed their whistles. Not much dead ball.

    If we ever decided to get back to playing D we could make it all the way even with our suspect shooting.
