    You think the problem is in the offense?

    I'm pretty sure Coach Nick is wrong in this case.

    It wouldn't be a double violation because officials could use the replay feature as they are at the 2 minute mark. The replay feature would determine that Morris stepped in the lane first.

    Anyway we have had some ugly games but we win on talent once coaching figures out how to keep leads with the group they have now we will be good, ugly win but we won.

    How do you comment on his bbiq. When the team itself doesn't know what to do. It is more to do with coaching.

    People in the game thread were saying Lin won the game with his D.

    That moving screen bulldozer on Dragic by Dwight is 99 out of 100 times called.

    If I were a Suns fan, I'd be pissed mightily.

    Something to keep in mind is that almost every play mistakes are made by every team. You have 10 players moving and making split second decisions. The Suns like the Rockets were making poor passes, running plays that did not maximize Dragic and Frye.

    I would just use the videos as educational. Concerning the refs, the fact that Howard took three steps is irrelevant and Nick knows it. That call is almost never made and both teams were getting in the lane earlier as well. The Harden foul is usually called as well if you know how to sell it (Paul, Scola, James, Harden and Ginobili all do it). The only real "missed" call was the Howard screen.

    My only concern is Parsons in bounding. I know McHale wants him doing it because he will almost always be in and wants Harden and Brverley free to get the ball. Still, he had twice had brain farts. I don't think Nick realized DMO was in because Garcia was about all he had left to put in.

    Rockets are a work in progress and make more mistakes than Miami or Indy or San Antonio or Memphis or OKC. However that is to be expected.

    another notable turnover he had was 4 of our players were in the back court and only dwight was ahead with like at least 2 warriors up court, and he lobbed it to Dwight which resulted in a turnover. What exactly lobbing it to dwight accomplish right there? he has so many bone headed plays where he plays out of control.

    but how easy is it to prevent the 3 since we can afford the 2? c'mon man!

    Every NBA games has bad calls/no calls that effect the outcome... We weren't lucky we came back and they collapsed. End of story.

    The only play I would be "pissed" about is the Howard screen. The other calls were not out of the ordinary. Lane violations are seldom called and Harden flopped perfectly. It is a play he gets literally every other game.
