    Our offense was a real shat sandwich for that 3rd. They've been pushing the whole floor towards Harden and he is suffer-ing. Badly. And yet, we still have 80 points through 3 against the top rated defense in the league?

    It is our DEFENSE that is/was/will be pathetic. Anyone doesn't see the correlation between Jason Terry getting playing time and the Warriors going nuts on offense is blind.

    We needed to slow down in the half court and force feed Howard or DMo the ball (which we tried half way through the 3rd) but we could not string multiple stops together with Terry on the floor. If there isn't an offensive abyss type player on the floor for the other team, Terry SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING!!!!!!

    As I've been saying for a while now...

    The defense from the start of the season is a thing of the past. The Rockets can be very good if they commit to defense, but when they don't, they're pretty average. Not too many games lately where they've brought it defensively.

    It's not really McHale's offense. I think it's Chris Finch's offense.

    C'mon. It's not like the Rockets just lost a nailbiter and we're overreacting. They're down 22 points at home after 3 quarters against a team that's playing their 4th game in 5 nights while we had a day off. They've given up 102 points through 3 quarters. For chrissakes, 102 is a bad total defensively for an entire game!

    And BTW, this is not an isolated incident. They let Orlando do whatever they wanted on offense the other night. They gave up 114 points to Chicago last week despite the Bulls struggling offensively against every other team they've played recently. And we're only a couple weeks removed from that no show in New Orleans. So it's not like tonight is some anomaly or just an unfortunately case of the Warriors having a great shooting night.

    The Rockets are a mediocre defensive team over the last month and change. And a lot of it comes down to a basic lack of effort. Nothing more. That's inexcusable for a so-called contender.

    It is not the fans, they get inspired by the team - and uh...well.

    Was that the first pick and roll of the game by Harden/Howard? LOL

    You want them to cheer when there is nothing to cheer for?

    Kevin McHale is not a coach - it's an embarassment to call him a caoch.

    He is just a cheerleader masquerading as a coach

    Look at how GSW run their offense - spacing, back door cuts, lots of plays for easy basket

    While we run either Iso's or low percentage 3's

    Why not run some pick n rolls? LOL McHale you clueless clown

    I have you ever seen a crowd cheer when the team is struggling to in an effort to get the team going.

    Mchale is head coach, how can it be Chris Finches offense, that makes no sense.

    They are pathetic.

    We played terrible tonight, you play terrible against a good team you going to get reamed and embarrassed. We did this to OKC and Memphis, it happens.

    Harden has had his FIRST bad game against the Warrios. Oh well.
