    Where the HELL was Dwight?

    So annoyed with his "injury". That cost us this game.

    McHale doesn't know how to handle this team

    with or without Dwight we were gonna lose this game. Dwight wouldve fouled out of this game because of Joey Crawford...

    Seemingly without Dwight, the Rockets managed to choke down the stretch of a winable game going iso harden since the 4 minute mark...what a pathetic and garbage head coach

    It was a sure win until last minute decision from Howard. But still, we were hitting those 3s and looked like an ugly win. Harden's turnover was critical, but it happens, and it happened to LeBron tonight as well. What I am really pissed off was that weak and 1 Harden gave Johnson, right after his TO.

    McHale doesn't know how to play guys outside of superstars. He doesn't know how to rotate the bench.

    I missed Adelman. He can get so much out of so little.

    I know folks ridiculed Capela on his first outing, but I can guarantee he's waay better than undersize trash Black

    No excuse for this lost. Rockets was the better team. Coaching Mcfail did nothing to adjust to Lakers shadowing harden. Harden pulled a Lebron at the end of the game. We can't just shoot threes all day is a flawed plan.

    And they gave up Adrien.

    This team made us feel good for all of two weeks. Then it's back to a black hole.

    I just want to know why they went to Black down 2.
    I don't know what is the issue with Dwight but this should not have been a wire to wire game. We should have been able to win this without him. We need to make a move now. Use the exception and bring in a vet big guy. We can't keep giving away these gimme games.

    Incredibly frustrating. I know the Morey has his sights set on Durant in 2016 but surely there are moves he can make in the mean time that keep us both in contention and cap-flexible.

    Mchale and Morey. The League has figured out analytics too.

    And analytics says its easy to defend Houston. Double Harden. Cover the shooters. Hack Dwight.

    Easy.

    We gave this game away. Poor coaching job by McHale, once he seen Hill coming to trap, he should have called timeout and made an adjustment.

    Harden waited too late to get his game going. You suppose to be the best player on the court. Again we are taking too many freaking three pointers. We need to actually run some plays for a change. Ariza had two opportunities to drive in for a layup but he stopped around the free throw line and passed it out for three pointers that didn't go in.

    well we need tjones, and dwight, without both of them it drastically changes our game. we were missing 2 starters. if we had dwight and tjones then we would be in big trouble.

    Are you guys going to just ignore the fact that the real problem is Root Sports? 0-2 on root.
