    Stick to the hacking strategy and stay mentally tough. Need to win on the boards and stop turning over the ball.

    Do or die, gentlemen. Let's see if this team can reveal somewhat of a semblance of a heart of a champion.

    nah, it was working until Prigs allowed Rivers to go on a run. We had a 7 pt lead that quickly evaporated.

    Brewer should be on Rivers and Prigs can cover Barnes.

    If you guys really want to play the blame game look no further than the Clippers. They are a good team that we don't match up well with. We're missing two key players that probably wouldn't make us any better than Clips but probably closer.

    It's a six point game on the road. That's not a bad position. Forget what happened in the past...every game is different. If you really think the game is over then turn it off, shut your computer down and go to bed.

    Beard is punting literally every attempt to make a bucket. The no coaching\ read and react system basically arms cowards with the authority to not do **** for the entire game

    Shaq sounds like a complete idiot. It's simple.....your're being paid millions of dollars to play basketball and you can't make a free throw. There are so many ways to shoot a free throw.....underhand, one hand, a step or two behind the line so my advice would be, find a style to suitable and comfortable for you and PRACTICE!!!! But Shaq was a weak free throw shooter so it's a sensitive topic for him.

    KPap still has 2 fouls, NJ has all 6, Capela has 2 and I think Dorsey has 4 or 5 left. Plenty of fouls left. Heck, suit KJ up for the 2nd half.

    Of course they are. :grin:

    When the Rockets are hacked: Stop complaining and just make your free throws and it won't be a problem!

    Rockets hack: This is unbearable, unwatchable, Rockets are this, Rockets are that, Adam Silver must address this ASAP.

    Not sure if Pop has ever done it for nearly a full half like Houston has but I mean, he did have a nice 5-6-7 minute run here hacking Rockets during one of the two games late in the season.

    The Spurs didn't use it for the entire first half of any of those games. I watched that series. And they could actually get stops against the Clippers without resorting to Hack-a-Jordan. It also didn't hurt that their bench showed up in that series. Ours is a joke.

    whatever it is, its somehow worse than jordan's free throw shooting.

    Can't stick to it because we are literally going to run out of players to use for hacking at this point.

    Is harden really that afraid of deandre that he won't he even attempt to drive? There's a something that's called a floater, which he's actually pretty good at.

    Just beyond me, how a pro basketball player shoots 10/28 at the line and Shaq is complaining about the other side being soft.

    Make the freaking FT! The same applies to us.

    The hack-a is working...0.71 points per hack-a possession. McHale must not go away from this.
