    Barkley said nobody besides Dwight is doing anything

    I couldn't agree more with him. Harden is playing as bad as I've seen him play.

    To be honest them getting CP3 back will help our chances to beat em. Anything to get the ball out of Blake "God" Griffin.

    no they are not meant to be good at three point shooting, it is quantity over quality

    and no he shouldn't be fired, he has rebuilt a team that has advanced to the second round and unfortunately injuries have killed our depth

    And he would be wholeheartedly correct.

    I can't believe we got outscored 41-21 in that quarter.

    Everyone leaving the arena should get their money back. Usually I'm passionate and loud during a game.

    I've just been sitting here silently. I wanna throw up.

    Don't know about being fired. Morey needs to be held accountable for his coach's extension and players moves.

    We need smith or jones to come up big. We need to get pressure on Griffing.

    How did Mchale land the rockets head coaching job? Him, Morey, and Alexander must of had the interview at the Bar in Toyota Center. Give me Adelman or Somebody with a freaking clue on how to run an offense and defense.

    That Mavs fans said we would be exposed in the 2nd round.

    Damn, that dude is a prophet.

    Hey, I cut McHale a lot of slack after Game 1, but he's been completely outclassed by Doc in this series and it's not like it's taken much effort. He is literally making no adjustments. The playoffs are like a chess match. You have to change things up between games and within games when something clearly isn't working(especially when you're trailing in the series).

    We've been killed tonight by one player and McHale is just leaving individual defenders out there to single cover him which everyone can see isn't working. Look, Blake Griffin is not THIS good. Neither frankly was LaMarcus Aldridge which the Spurs in Round 2 last year and the Grizzlies in Round 1 this year exposed. But if you never commit to double teaming the guy when it's obvious T-Jones and Smith(and Ariza when he inexplicably switches over) can't stop him, then you're gonna get killed.

    We gave up 41 points in the 2nd quarter. Think about that. 41 points on our home floor to a team missing their superstar point guard with the entire season on the line. Yes, the players are to blame as well since they have to go out there and execute. But they need a gameplan devised by their coach. This isn't pickup basketball. And McHale for the 2nd straight season has basically abandoned his players out there to fend for themselves. That's unforgivable.

    This team could have hung with the Spurs, and beaten the Grizz, Blazers, and Pelicans.

    The Clippers own us. Also, TJones shouldn't see the court in the second half.

    They just beat the Spurs in 7 with CP3. Obviously they aren't worse off when he plays.
