    Truth. Clutch players have no conscious and Douglas is streaky. One game he will go 0/7 and the next game 7/7. I still trust him to take the open three more than anyone else in the fourth after Harden. Delfino is third, followed by Parsons and Morris.

    lets just hope they get the score under 10 in the 3rd and then go Harden-style in the 4th. I hate that smug-a$$ Martin is doing well

    Down by 18 to the Thunder? Hopefully we get this back close, but I don't know. Still early though. Just need a few runs.

    So far only the Lin+Asik lineup was able to keep up with OKC. Everything else has fallen flat on its face. Uglas+Smith/Douglas+Aldrich is -20. ROFLMAO. You can hide Uglas by himself, but when you pair Uglas with Aldrich it leads to complete and utter fail on both ends of the court. At least Uglas+Smith is watchable on one end of the floor.

    I blame Pat Beverly and Daryl Morey, no doubt McHale is made to play Aldrich in an attempt to trade Aldrich+Uglas in a package deal to open up a roster spot for Beverly. I would like to believe that no coach is that dumb of his own volition, but then again I may have too much faith in coaches...

    Its amazing that Toney Douglas, a way better shooter than Lin, is the point guard when he is in with Lin, and Lin, a way better point guard, is the spot up shooter. Genius.

    Games is closer than the score. Combination of fatigue, bad luck, and bad calls. Rockets can come back in the 2nd half if they have the energy.

    Honestly McHale and coaching staff have just been bailed out by the sheer talent of the players.

    Coaching is just horrendous and so many head-scratch inducing decisions.

    You mean the Rockets getting out-talented out there. OKC is one of the best with a lot of chemistry. It should be a closer game. I'm not a Mchale fan and prefer Sampson if it really came down to it but I don't think he could do much against a team like the Thunder.

    Gameplan for the rest of the game: give the ball to MOOK

    then my bad... can't tell who's who right here

    but the coach's decision really annoys a lot
    and hopefully the players wouldn't be affected by these mistakes.

    We are the youngest team with lots of talents, just think we deserve somebody who's experienced enough to coach and grow the young guys, not making them depressed or ruining their moral with some bad rotation decisions.

    I think Mr. McHale would do well with experienced roster, he said he like experienced roster as well.
