    We're such a terrible road team, but you know - we're better than we were a year ago.

    How does Lin NOT check to see that his feet are behind the line? What a ****ing idiot. It's not like this is the first time he's done that, either, but this time it cost us the game. Just finished watching it, since I was out earlier. Good god almighty. Lin is a ****ing chump.

    He didn't have a great game but played well enough to win. He defended well and had 15/11/2.

    Wow. Hate is strong on this one. I guess you would go suicidal if he missed it.

    One of my best friends went to Harvard. Hell, he was invited to a thing at the Toy Box for alumni, called me to ask me if I'd like to go, and I drove down for the game. I've got a Lin bobblehead bobbling away on my dresser. I've been a fan. Now I just think he's an idiot, and Harvard doesn't have a damned thing to do with Lin being an idiot, the ****ing chump.

    Not understanding why the Rockets come out of time outs looking out of sorts. Inbounding the ball to Howard is proving a problem for this team. Lin and AB need to have a better handle on looking where there teammates are on the court. Poor ball movement (8 turnovers in the fourth) and poor defensive rebounding killed it for the Rockets. As McHale said today, they looked sluggish in practice yesterday and they came into the second half with the same sluggish effort.

    That was part of the problem, dude. The Rox spent 15 seconds of each offensive possession, it seemed, trying to get Dwight the ball; when they couldn't, Harden would dribble iso for a while, then pass off or whatever to a teammate with a few seconds left. The Rox have no identify on offense except give the ball to Harden. They're so reliant on their stars that everyone just tends to stand around. Much different than last year.

    That's me you're talking to, chump. Hate? I should start sticking pins in my Lin bobblehead doll, the one sitting on my dresser.

    As for a miss, I could live with that. You can't make them all. What I can't live with is not making sure your ****ing feet are behind the line, especially an end of game situation. What an idiot.

    Thoughts about this game:

    1. Chandler Parsons has never been more missed. We have been a complete mess since he has gone out. He might not be the elite defender we were hoping he would turn into, but he is still the glue guy that definitely holds the team together as well as our third option.

    2. Can't ask for much more from How Hard as they were literally dragging around the dead weight of the rest of the team. T-Jones has to give us better production and we really need to get more out of everyone else.

    3. We need PG depth. AB is who he is and a PG he is not. If anyone can't see how important Bev is to our team by now, I honestly suggest they book an appointment with an eye doctor pronto. I wonder given the injuries to Rose if Bulls are willing to trade Hinrich away?

    4. We need a sharp shooter. We need our version of Steve Kerr. Hopefully Canaan is that guy one day, but right now we have really a bunch of solid to good shooters and zero great ones it seems.

    5. Tough loss guys... I need another beer.

    Why did Casspi play so little?
    I still trust his offense more than Garcia's, plus he might have helped get some rebounds when the Hawks kept snatching them all with the Rockets going tinyball, no?
