    Did you even watch the game? Bev got picked off on screens ALL NIGHT. Paul just missed a bunch of wide open jumpers.

    The headless checklin was in the corner watching Dwight & Asik playing point guards

    I'm proud of the Rockets. Just played 7 of their last 8 on the road and went 6-2 in that span. Now we're back home and don't play until Saturday which allows our players to rest and get their legs back under them. Parsons, Jones and Lin should come out of their funks soon and Hamilton looks like the real deal so far.

    He will be gone... He is too expensive to play 18 minutes.

    It's the equivalent of getting called for an offensive foul and having DJ come over and try to swipe the ball away from you. It's just annoying/frustrating.

    He played well against Paul last game as well. We now know that Paul is bothered by Bev. Playoff tips.

    I hope you're not insinuating that we lost this game because of Harden, because that would be ridiculous lol.

    TO's, missed layups, and Collison going nuts was why we lost.

    Just a frustrating game, expected a loss due to this being the last game of a long roadtrip, and the 2nd half of a back to back, but we hung in there and should've won the game in my mind.

    So many missed layups, hell if we make half of them we win the game tonight.

    Harden being strangely apathetic towards the end of the game offensively, he's so clutch when he wants to be but didn't seem motivated to look to score tonight.

    Dwight had a decent game, Asik played well.

    Lin, Parsons and Jones all with awful games.

    Beverley played great defense on Paul, too bad we had no one quick enough to match up with Collison at the end of the game.

    Was a little perplexed at Dwight and Lin joking around after the game, it doesn't seem like they care that they had an opportunity to win this game and blew it. Hope I'm wrong.

    And Parsons had the flu or something, or at least that's what Bill Worrel said.

    If they were really out of "juice" then this game would have been a blowout. No excuses, Rockets with poor execution and terrible defensive match ups through out the game cost them the 3 seed.

    He's on here trying to rub it in and crap on Harden at the same time.

    There's no need to be a jackass. If the Rockets had won tonight, I doubt anybody on CF would register on whatever Clippers forum is out there and talk ****.

    Same here. Again, should have put Lin in and taken out CP. I guess, McHale has on confidence on Lin. Simply put, McHale was out coached.

    The problem is Lin can't be trusted to ball handle either with his low bball IQ plays at the moment. He has been making horrible decisions on the court far too often recently.

    Simply put, McHale outcoached himself tonight. He is always in reactionary mode it seems. Should've stuck with Lin, even if he sucked, to at the very least take pressure/double teaming off Harden. Instead he goes googly eyed because he sees Chris Paul's name. Reminds me of the BS from last year when he pulled Asik just because the Mavs went small. Shoulda attacked their weakness, instead he reacts.

    Harden got ISOed by McHale tonight.

    Fatigue was evident. Would have liked to see a little more resilience but whatever.

    Good thing we don't see B2Bs on the road against rested teams in the playoffs.

    You call those picks?

    **** any Lin fans calling out anything about bev's game. Bev played better than any other starter including Harden.
