    Dorsey should use his 6 fouls every game in this series to send DJ to the line. The worst free throw shooter in the league is on the other team but we're content not to take advantage of it.

    Dude didnt even Call a Timeout

    Wtf is he even on the sideline for, What does he do?????

    CP plays and Rockets dont do anything to adjust, same ol **** defense.

    Rockets dont look to take away anything, They give their opponent anything they want.

    Whats with all the switching, Offense has no movement mannnnnnnnnnnnnn

    If you are not, get a bench, defend physically to disrupt their offense and give fouls if necessary, that's better.

    This thread should just be about the thread title

    And there's no excuse for it. I think hack-a is overused but to not use it there?? Ridiculous.

    Why don't any of the players do anything? They can foul Jordan on their own.

    It's a collective mental failure. They just give up so easily.

    Second time already in this series, that I feel embarrassed as I was when the Rockets got blown out by 40 points to the Mavs in game 7.

    We used to lose and still be very proud of the team's heart and effort.

    Now we're a 2nd round team but they have embarrassed themselves and the city so bad. I wonder how Morey will sugarcoat this.

    Something is wrong with Harden's mental make-up starting the playoffs.

    Great thread. I thought the same thing. No timeouts, no fouls. No momentum stops.

    Rockets score 4-5 points and Doc calls timeouts to ruin momentum. Harden makes 2 shots, he fouls Howard intentionally to not get him going. COACHING IS VERY BAD.

    But the heart of this team is even worse. Nobody besides Dwight wants it. Everyone else is scared attitude. No leader.

    It eliminates the 3 point shot for the clippers. They all destroyed us from 3. Mchale just gets caught up watching the game and forgets he's the head coach.

    I'm still fuming over how McHale handled that Clippers run. A good coach mitigates that run by calling timeouts or at least hacking Jordan

    Well, don't the players know they can call timeouts too? or foul the opponents?

    This team starting with Harden don't give a damn about winning. They all say they do, but don't show it when the going gets tough. Shell-shocked. Disappearing acts. I don't know how you can coach that.

    Next game, he should play the deep bench. I'm sure those guys have more heart than our regular rotation.

    Good point, that's where they lack leadership as well, a player on the court who stops the bleeding himself!
