Guys, long season. Everyone will right the ship once we start playing to our potential. We are still figuring out optimum closeout lineup. Even with tough back to back overtime, I can see us blowing by Knicks.

 

I like Mchale and try to stay away from knee jerk reactions. But his adjustments are terrible sometimes. He seems slow to react to anything the other team is doing. I gurantee if we had Adelman or even George Karl we wouldn't be 5-4 and in a state of confusion right now

 

Coach should take responsibility because in his words - McHale after loss: 'We try to do too much.He's right ,we could have won two games by doing less.If we just foul before the shot.We lead Laker and Sixer game by one point with maybe at the least 1 to 2 seconds left on the clock.

 

In situations like the end of the past two games, why don't the Rockets switch a taller defender on to the shooter who has to make a three?
