    You know Rivers is 6-18 and only has 15 points. You want Rivers shooting everything.

    Our on ball defense is horrific..the first move the offensive player makes always gets pass our defenders..is Mchale teaching any defense...we suck at offense..other than fast breaks ..what exactly is Mchale teaching these guys?

    DMO brings nothing on the court. Not rebounding, not posting up, not guarding, not scoring....might as well be sitting in the stands.

    honest question, what do ppl expect lin to do when he gets screened? he cant run through them, that'd be a foul. if he anticipates the screen and jumps in front of it, the ball handler just drives to the other side, inevitably resulting in help defense stepping up. what is the alternative?

    He runs under the screen too much. To be fair, the Morrow shot was good D by Lin.

    Two steps to win this game:

    1. Play somewhat ok defense.
    2. Get the defensive round.

    Lol, people expect Lin to jump over the screen to guard Rivers? Rockets coaches have no clue how to defend pick and roll. This has been seen numerous times
