    I can't believe the day would come when Lin brings it in the 4th quarter of a playoff game and harden turns into a tampon

    Parsons should be packaged up for Melo.

    straight up Harden for Melo.

    Hey, at least in the face of adversity, we saw sound leadership from the likes of ... uh, nobody.

    Next game on ESPN and glad to not hear Joel Myers ex Spurs and Lakers announcer. Rockets will get the W on Friday.

    Not sure why McHale is so stubborn with the short rotation when it is clearly not working at all.
    Why would you keep Harden on the floor for so long despite no contributions on both ends of the floor, but bench Lin after a block by Lopez? (inb4 "LOF")
    At the end of the 4th, McHale still chose to stick with Harden on defense over other players, before subbing Lin in for Asik for offense.

    Harden is just shooting us out of the games. Them hero 3 pointers are frustrating as hell. Pass the damn ball if your shots are not falling.

    Why nobody mentioned Harden let Matthews walked for the layup in the last minute?

    Harden SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED and what's worse is that

    He QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT, he QUIT from the beginning of the 4th quarter.

    Man is this the year 2004 all over again, underachieving Rockets team despite having arguably the best big man in the game who could be so much more dominant and a talented but lazy SG who has no heart. History repeats itself

    Safe to say. This team is going to look really different during the off-season. WCF? We can't even get to the WCSF.

    Harden lost mattews and gave him the open layup.
    That was the crucial play.

    now let's see how Mchale will say at post game conference. besides no ball movement, it got sticky blah blah blah. the only thing for sure is that that is not coaching problem.

    This team and the coaches have no clue what to do.

    Can we fire McHale before Game 3?

    I would like to think the Rockets can dig out of this hole like the clutch city years, but unfortunately there isn't an Olajuwan on this team. McHale is unable to make adjustments so there is no reason to think Aldridge will slow down anytime soon. I believe Harden will play better in Portland, but the Rockets can't get defensive stops so it won't matter. Blazers sweep or take it in 5. :(

    Well!?! Lost of words! It's still a best of 7 series but the rox gotta big hole to dig themselves out of, letting them play aldridge one on one isn't gonna cut it! Something defensively has to change! As for harden? Smdh hopefully he can get outta his funk and turn this series around! I still have faith in this rent! Go rockets!!

    I don't believe any nba Coach will do like McHale , McHale hasn't any game plan
    Any coach will find a different way to defense AL

    Right now, Portland looks like the better team. BUT, I would not be surprised if the Rockets go to Portland and win two games. I really wouldn't. I think the pressure is off and they are going to start free stroking. BUT if they get blown out in game three, THEN it is OVER.

    LOL cmon guys... I know he made a lot of shots, but did the 3 from the bleachers give you a hint that it's not the real shot chart?
