    DMC has done at least a dozen moving screens u without being called. The refs were blind. The ball he swiped from Howard clearly hit his shin before going out.

    A big part of our loss was due to the officiating.

    It's going to be popular to hate on Harden for what happened at the end, but keep this in mind:

    Harden: 5-11 from three
    Rest of team: 2-17 from three

    Harden: 9-10 from FT line
    Rest of team: 12-23 from FT line

    I'm fine with Morey's all three/FT no mid-range philosophy, but he needs a better set of players for that to really work.

    Way too many and this is what makes these loses suck even more. This team had high expectations but maybe they are just over rated !!!! They just seem like they don't know what their doing at times like a badly coached team.

    Harden is who he is...it's up to the coach to lay down the law and McHale doesn't. Worthless coach. What does he actually do?
    Draw plays? NOPE!
    Get players revved up for games? NOPE ! Coach defense? Nope!
    Work with Dwight? Meh, his post game is mediocre at best
    Make smart subs to keep guys fresh and in the flow? NOPE! He already says they should never be tired no matter how far into the ground he runs them.

    Besides screaming for more energy and flashing baffled looks from the bench, what does he actually do?

    After watching the last couple of games, lin has to come off the bench. Just not enough shots available for him as a starter and for lin to produce the most he need to come off the bench with an attacking mindset.

    Putting words in my mouth? You asked why fingers are pointing at Harden, and I gave you the obvious answer.

    If you'd watched the whole game, you would know Lin did pretty well on D.

    Harden just went HERO ball on us again. He is probably the most UNCLUTCH player in the league.

    He got angry. If teams do their scouting they should game plan to get Harden angry every game and watch him blow it. He needs his head adjusted and also needs to spend more time riding the pine.

    Harden ****ed up in the end.
    Cousins owned DH12 twice in a row.
    Weird decision by Mchale not putting the starters back in after the timeout.

    Onto the next one.

    superstars are supposed to win you games at the end. not lose.

    harden is not a superstar. i've said this many times. he ain't big time. he is a tier below.

    Basically to the effect of..

    "Harden had a great game, you don't want to blame any one individual... but... (lists Hardens plays down the stretch), when you go 1v5 and take your teammates out of the equation it makes you easier to guard"
