    I don't like blaming the refs but I cannot argue with anything you said.

    Sigh, a really winnable, but.....

    Harden had 39pts but we lost. I really don't like to see the Rockets become another team of 'Their best player got 30+ points and yet the team lost." Last year, it was the Knicks with Carmelo. This season the Lakers with Kobe.

    Ran the offense better, played better defense, team played better (minus the last five minutes of the game) when he was on the floor.

    Haha, so you admit that you would turn off your TV when the starting PG of the All Star Game is a Rocket?

    What are you doing in this forum?

    Parsons is a stud. He's gonna be an all-star one day.

    Lin probably wouldn't of made a difference because he's so passive but he should at least gotten more minutes for sure.

    I have no issues with Lin other than he needs to shoot better, but its stuff like this that pisses me off. All you so called fans who say stuff like this, just go root for the Lakers. Lin shouldnt be the reason you're not rooting for them because to be honest he's just an average player. Basketball is a team game. Why do you think the lakers are struggling? Cause they can't play as a team.

    Douglas wasn't even the reason we lost. Look at Patterson, he played terrible.

    layups mean he has the ability to get to the hoop which when your shot isn't falling helps you out!

    Your argument is flawed!

    Asik is the best interior defender..... Lin is the best perimeter defender.............

    Patterson was literally just a body. A bag of Bones.

    TD didn't run the offense, Harden did.

    If TD was running the offense, he would have MORE than 3 assists for 35 minutes or MORE than 13 points if he was taking the shots himself. He shot 9 times, not 15 times.

    And his scoring was mostly catch and shoots... IE, SG, NOT point guard play.

    Seriously, lineups with PPatt are terrible defensively - the stats bear it out too though it's CLEAR as day with the eye-test.

    Lin didn't play at all tonight because Douglas was playing better. He wasn't more productive.

    Lin played alright in the second half but Douglas was playing too well.

    Douglas is just a much better defensive player and tonight he was making shots, hence why he was on the floor.

    I just don't understand, what's wrong with the coach? Why putted our C and G on the bench in the 4th quarter? Is it good for team's confidence? Is it good for team's development? Is it good for team's future? Someone can explain it?
