Jokes aside, we are not out of the woods yet as far a playoffs are concerned. Notice how the Lakers and the Jazz have raised their intensity in the last few games. I don't give a damn about probability. When you start to rely too much on it, it will bite you in the rear. If the Rockets are going to the playoffs this year, they are going to also raise their intensity and come out firing up on all cylinders until the last second of the game. If you are a playoff team, show it.
"I just told James that James has got to play off the catch," McHale said. "He's got to play fast. He's got to get back to being aggressive. Busting seams. He got to a point where that foot was bothering him a little bit and he was holding the ball and letting the defense dictate to him. He's got to dictate to the defense." Murphy said a long time ago that Harden needed to play off the ball. I am glad the coach finally said the same thing. I hope Harden rest for a few more games until he is 100%.
That's not what he said. McHale said "off the catch". That means when he gets the ball, he needs to go, and not stand around. His foot has really changed his game. Early in the season, it was eurostep, eurostep, eurostep, and now he doesn't use it.
Smart's THE worst coach in the NBA. Ruined Lin's rookie season and is now screwing with Jimmer's career. Hope Lin comes out fired up against this idiot who played ACIE LAW heavy minutes while he sat on the pine at Golden State.
Hopefully parsons and harden rest. See if we can increase the sample size of lin running the show for a few games. One thing I really dislike about the rockets games is that its usually a blowout or a loss. In either case lin gets pulled out to either rest or benched. How can he have legitimate star statistics without the touches/minutes to make it even happen. Lin would easily average 15 and 8 if he had the minutes harden or parsons got
