    Rockets will never be a contender with McHale as coach, just like OKC with Scott.

    Morey must swallow his ego and fire McHale right after the series

    They are wasting what remains of Howard's knees and prime Harden

    Damn

    Scott Brooks is 10x times better coach than McHale ever will be, and he's not even a second fiddle coach.

    I can't understand Morey and Les. I stopped trying to understand them when they signed McHale for 4 more years at the beginning of the season. Really disgusted, pathetic.

    To me they are the same in terms of the inability to get easy shot for the team and relying on star players to iso.

    Haters can suck it after we win game 4

    Everyone knows the Clippers can be as insane as the Warriors when their offense is clicking at all angles, but the easiest way to prevent those runs is to hack Jordan! Lol the spurs were definitely not matched up athletically, but they could still keep the series close to the end. Obviously McHale is no pops, but he could still be smart about using any tactics at hand to win. He needs to get his head out of his a** and stop being so against intentional fouling.

    I am still holding out hope for Hadden. I really don't want to label him as soft and a playoff choker. Maybe that Finals series in 2012 really was telling.

    I thought losing via the Lillard 0.9 shot was the absolute bottom.

    I didn't know this LAC series could be worse.

    I have seen this posted multiple times now and it's just as irritating as watching the Rockets last night. Maybe it makes people feel better to say that we're worse than we actually are?

    Whoever thinks we would have lost to Portland or New Orleans, please log out of Clutchfans for a few weeks.

    The Clippers are a major matchup problem for the Rockets. Have been since the Harden era. How can we forget this fact that was common knowledge for a couple of seasons now?

    I was shocked when people were actually WANTING to play the Clippers in the Clips Or Spurs debate.

    Losing to the Clips doesn't mean the end of the Earth as we know it. However they have exposed some major roster flaws, that we should address in the off-season.

    I guess the 0.9 shot didn't hurt me so much (in the long run) because I didn't FEEL like that team was going places if they had won that series.

    The '05 and '09 teams - very different story.

    This year's team doesn't have that same 'feel' either. I won't be gutted by this series (and haven't been so far), because the team just isn't showing the desire to win out there. Watching Brooks, Scola, Hayes, and Yao be outplayed felt much different.

    Wow.... They win game 4 and they not only draw even, they get home court back.

    All the complaints may prove true but there will be an entire off season to discuss them. Let's see what happens in game 4. I am not as hard on Harden, I think he has been fine in the playoffs.... but he can't let Austin Rivers clown him.

    I could tell game three was a loss, called it in the GARM 5 minutes into the game, said 18 point loss of more.... but let's see what happens in game 4.


    A loss in game 4 and you can start fire McHale and hang Morey threads.

    Sometimes I feel like mchale coaches in the sense of, "fine y'all don't want play defense or hustle , I'll let you get your ass kicked on national tv"

    Hack A Jordan won't work BUT it would have been a good thing this time to get them out of their rhythm.

    As much as I hate McHale as a coach (not as person, ever), I truly believe we're winning game 4.

    I see it in James' eyes...finally. We can't win with him facilitating like some you know who SG who was a great passer.

    This is going to 7.

    You asked for a series. You have one.

    Agreed.
    Hack
    Call time out
    Something
    You don't just ALLOW 18 pt runs.
    As a coach .... This was on him.

    We hit it to five ... I swear Doc called a time out.
    I could be wrong.

    I wonder if the clipper fans were calling their head coach an idiot and saying the team had no heart when the Spurs blitzed them in game three of that series. Clippers never recovered and lost that series because only teams with no heart and stupid coaches get blown out like that.
