really?? how are you so sure is a fact? Do you really think teams looks rockets on the schedule and thinks: mmm, this is like a bye week, lets not put all the effort in this game, and just get ready for the next game.
Have some of you ever watched an NBA game that didn't involve the Rockets? Cause this happens to all teams, all the time.
And who expected the Thunder to not make a run? Or Golden State? Teams with explosive talents can come out of nowhere and boom, they scored 10 points.
We blow leads simply because we have an IDIOT and MORONIC coach in McHale who just stands there watching the lead dwindling down before calling a time out. He has done this repeatedly. Always calls a time out way too late and by that time the opposition has all the momentum.
