    so much wrong with this team...

    poor defense, horrible post passing, inconsistent 3pt shooting, predictable offense, hot & cold bench, no pf, whiny back up center, jeremy lin....

    Exactly. He doesn't know how to play defense. He'll never be a 3-time DPOY.

    Not even gonna sugar coat anything, McHale lost us this game, decision making and basketball IQ goes fundamentally back to the coaching staff, and McHale's inability to adjust to Carlisle's gameplan has cost us a game that we should have won. It was evident after the half when Carlisle sped up the pace while McHale sat there with a confused look on his face, Morey, it is time to get a coach that can perform and show a difference especially on our team with top playoffs talent.

    Seriously, why did Lin keep drifting away his man to under the basket. That's just ridiculous how he left his man wide open.

    ANYONE that believes McHale can coach this or any team to the Finals is a fool. Bring back JVG.

    these terrible refs would have called a foul on dwight, so it doesnt matter.... Dwight made a cardinal sin during the offseason and signed with the rockets over the lakers, now the refs are targeting not only him, but the rockets as a whole... the games have been officiated quite strange lately, lot of missed goaltends, refs calling out of bounds on us( when we are clearly inbounds), just to name a few

    Lin's defense away from the ball today was as bad as I've seen Harden at his worst. He kept losing his man, sinking into the paint when he didn't need to. Committing to helping one pass away when his man is a 3 point shooter.

    I point out the example I did earlier. Lin sinks into the point, his man gets the ball and Parsons leaves his man to guard that shooter. One more pass and Lin is still in the paint.

    Our offense is to easy to scout and shut down without or without Harden.

    We really need to be careful right now. That 9th spot is only 2 losses away.
