Yeah, if Lin would play like he's capable of, this would look a lot different. He needs to get that confidence back! Same with Harden. Dude looks shaken out there.
Are we really the ones to be complaining about the refs? We lead the league in freethrows and james harden is a perfect example of what you just described. Take the rose color tinted glasses off.
The bench needs to step it up. Most of the points are coming from the starters and they can't do it all. Also, TAKE CARE OF THE BALL!!
Jeeze, no breathing room for this game. Our performance in the 2nd half, especially the 4th, I think, will be an interesting indicator where we're at in terms of competing for a ring.
i really don't get why james doesn't look where he passes we have to be more careful...quit trying to rush things in the halfcourt set
Miami unusually cold from the 3. Houston has an unusual number of live TOs (even by their standard). Got a feeling that one of these trends will stop and whichever team stops it will win. Rockets doing a solid defensive job. Controlling Miami outside of those "pick six" TOs.
All I want is consistency. If they have a "mandate" to stop calling the ticky-tack stuff in our favor, and stop falling for the Harden flops, that's fine... just keep it even on both sides. Seems like the refs are purposely going out of their way to not bail out the Rockets (some just/some not), but they're calling everything possible on Miami. .
I think people have it wrong here. Harden is not intimidated but he has to play smart and avoid foul trouble. Houston needs him down the stretch.
Seems like every single skip pass, cross court pass and passes in traffic are ALL being picked off. When will they learn??? Other than that, pleased that we are more than competitive so far tonight.
