    Everyone needs to relax. We need to mature. But we had a good season.

    Yep. Those plays were simple miscommunication. The downcourt player simply wasn't looking back for the ball at any point. Which is odd, considering this is supposed to be an uptempo team. Had those passes been intercepted or not been catchable, I'd blame Dwight. But he had the right idea and properly executed it each time he tried.

    He revised his role.
    No more post ups for him, on the assumption that Harden was a more efficient offensive threat and didn't need a backup post option.

    Dwight was by far our best player tonight. I hope he stays healthy and is here at least a few more years.

    He has been the best C in the postseason.

    Howard's showing heart and fire at the last minute has proven to be useless again, he should have worked hard on his freaking FT if he really has heart and fire.

    Yeah I was pretty frustrated on both those plays as Dwight had both situations read correctly and both were pretty significant moments. I'm not surprised a lot of people didn't see this and assume it was just a bad Dwight pass.

    Nope both correct basketball plays. Like I said terry gave up on both passes and either didn't recognize the opportunity or didn't want the ball

    If our guys lacked heart they wouldn't have made it this far :rolleyes:

    There's no reason why this core plus a few tweaks (starting PG) can't win it all.

    Who the hell with an IQ over 5 didn't think the Rockets would make the playoffs? We were the 2nd seed. Screw the media, we know this team could've won it all. If we didn't make blatantly stupid mistakes in the first two games, we could've very well taken a 2-0 lead going back home. Say we won game 4, losing games 3 and 5, we could've closed out at home in Game 6, going to the Finals amidst the awful flooding and bringing joy to the city.

    Every player has weaknesses.

    James didn't show lack of heart by not working harder on his defense... you show lack of heart by your effort when it matters most.

    Looks like it's DaDakota vs Carl Herrera in the Clutchfans Troll Finals this year.

    Good luck, DD. I really admire the way you've stepped up your troll game in recent weeks. Carl might be in trouble.

    HEALTHY?

    The guy didn't play half the season with a bruised knee, he has failed to improve after 11 years in the NBA, and is probably the most mentally weak big man I have ever seen.

    FTs....anyone?

    He is not a top player anymore and refuses to accept his role, I hope Morey trades him and signs Jordan.....

    Not trolling just not afraid to speak the truth.

    Dont think its aimed directly at Harden Dwight has been saying this since the playoffs began.
