    To put things in perspective, a 33 points loss is better than a 3 points loss. The film sessions would be long, there will be so much for them to learn in the next couple of days, and there's so much room for improvement. Next game will be better!

    it would be nice to get a superstar player or a better pf.

    but honestly, i think having this team have a summer where they can practice together to improve on weaknesses isnt that bad as well. i mean, they basically had a new team once harden arrived.

    theyre all really young. I would be okay in giving them another season together. tjones can be that pf (mind you, he is still a rookie but has the potential).

    We'll get them back on Wednesday on game 2. OKC is playoff ready and Rockets isn't because we are very young team and most of our team members have less or none playoff time.

    Don't ever doubt this...we would be a better team if we still had 2 Pat and even TD. TRob and DMO are a bust. I agree with Barkley BTW. There is no way you are coming down the lane to score and me not fouling and sending a message.

    Frank Isola is a douchbag journalist. He takes every opportunity to bash Lin. He was injured last year.

    McHale needs to start Carlos & sit Greg. That is the adjustment he needs to make. Greg & Asik out there are awful. Need to do what Miami did & make Perkins & Ibaka guard the perimeter that will open up the lane so he needs to start a stretch 4. If McHale does this then I will have a lot more confidence in him for next year. That is the biggest adjustment he needs to make.

    This whole year there have been points where Lin has played bad, and points where Harden has played bad. This last month is the first time BOTH have played bad. Makes me feel less bad about the seeding, we'd have gotten ran out of the building by any team in the western conference with both of them slumping.

    We can add a max player, and most of our young players will continue to grow, 4 seed next year for sure, and the sky is the limit for the future!

    Wait I thought Lin's season was cut short cause of knee surgery? If it took him a good first half of this season to get back into game shape, how could he have played in last season's playoffs?

    Yes he went out of his way to bash Lin to catch attention. Pathetic low life tabloid writer.
