    BMac better get a lot of second half minutes. And Harden better keep it going and get even more aggressive. He had a great half.

    That’s what I’m talking abut when I say we need more catch and shoot types like mclemore. I can watch mclemore shoot 20 shots a game as long as they’re catch-and-shoot

    I can take the airballs. What I can't stand are missed free throws. His 2 misses were inexcusable.

    Loser teams always say, well, it's only 21, it's only 11, it's only 5. Just playing from behind. You can't win like this. They need to take this game. Last dew minutes there they were just hanging on.

    McLemore showing us why D’Antoni is an idiot. Hope it’s not too late.

    I hope Harden is even more aggressive in the 2nd half

    just go out swinging, and I’m good

    do not trust the role players or Russ at all, u gotta do it yourself

    double team means u need to force it and take double the amount of shots as the next closest scrub on the roster

    Harden looks gassed, but he's still bringing energy. That's what we need.

    This is what I came here to post. I've been posting it throughout the playoffs.

    When we're having trouble scoring, why in the hell would a coach bench our best 3 shooter throughout the playoffs until we're down 3-1?

    It is freaking maddening.

    Glad we didn’t give up but they still have the upper hand. Vogel was right this is a 48 minute game and we forgot the first 10.

    they just need to answer us when we make a run. Still need to change things up somehow

    MDA should NOT put his usual starting lineup to start the third or this game is OVER. MDA is an idiot
