Still a long series to go, I know this was an embarrassing lost. I believe games like this will make a team stronger. I expect us to come out with more hunger the next game.
unwarranted, undeserving, borderline delusional optimism is really annoying. fans here are not pessimistic for no reason. we've seen the games and it's just horrible top to bottom.
Good thread. I don't see Rivers and Reddick repeating their perfomance tonight. A lot of people here talk a lot of smack about Harden having no heart and how they hate him when they are the ones who show no heart and faith. Some guys in the game thread gave up after the 1st quarter.. Its the Playoffs and nothing is over.
We'll see. As dire as it seems, they're only down 2-1. The problem with that is do you have faith McHale and his assistants can make the proper adjustments before Sunday? Can guys like Ariza, Smith, and Brewer give us anything offensively? Can anybody on the team play defense for 4 quarters? Will Harden give us a dominant offensive performance? Team just has too many question marks right now. They can win Game 4, as well as the series, but guys have to step up. It's the playoffs. Too many guys underwhelming right now.
Post of the night right here and not even from a Rockets fan. As bad as it looked, getting one win will change the series and flip it on it's head. Funny because Blake Griffin said they were down 2-1...and here they are playing us.
Down 1-2, I m still positive believe can win this series simply because the rockets are way talented than the clippers.
He's only doing this because we leave him open.. we didn't think he was threat coming in. I'm sure next game we will put more pressure on him and scout him.
it's not a fluke. it's our defense that's enabling him to go off on us. adjustments? we've been saying this since game 1 and there are no adjustments made in terms of our defense whatsoever. i'm sorry but the series is basically done and the coaching staff has got to go.
You were very generous with the "not feeling good about this win" interpretation. The man who "Can't be happy about [that] win" now seems a little too content. Mind games?
Rockets were in the game. There was a big momentum swing on the Blake flop and Ariza out of bounds incorrect call. The Rockets were climbing back and the refs hurt them. But that collapse in 3rd was ridiculous.
I've watched rivers play alot. He is bad, make him go left and he won't do anything. I agree mchale is horrible.. especially when they are on a run he never makes adjustments.. late calling timeouts.. we still could of hack a dj when they were on that 18 - 0 run to stop their momentum..
Game 4 will be a game where the M.I.A. Defense needs to be found. It's just amazing how bad this team's D has become during the playoffs. That is only thing that can save this team.
