    Well it is, but I have long believed MDA to not be championship caliber as he’s too stubborn to adjust and we’ve all seen it time and again. He just doesn’t go outside his comfort zone, Buldenholzer is worse and both are excellent coaches, but that’s not enough.

    It doesn’t help that I hate how we play and think limiting Harden in particular has already cost us a trophy. We are wasting his prime with this dinosaur. Let’s take a risk like Toronto did!

    They committed at least 30 legitimate to hard fouls against the Rox driving to the rim without a call charged.

    imo harden needs to play faster as well, put the defense on its heels sometimes instead of just waiting and surveying till end of the shot clock

    I like how Gordon isn't afraid to drive to the rim. House isn't very good at that, and usually just passes the ball if he doesn't have a wide open shot. I'd rather have Gordon start, just for that reason.

    Have faith in Brodie's fire and competitiveness. That's one thing you can't question about him. There isn't any point in litigating the past.

    not only does gordon need to start, but hopefully he can start playing 38-40 minutes a night. we need his defense and shooting. house needs to come off the bench and take minutes from someone else.

    This is a dumb comment, CP3 and Rockets would never be 2-0 on the Lakers.

    With Chris Paul we would 0-2 against the Lakers. Chris blaming others for his own terrible performance.

    Russell was very quick in Game 1, The tempo in the Playoffs is much faster. The Lakers in Game 2 had Scott Foster. Can Chris Paul win a Scott Foster Refereed Game, Chris 0-11 All Time with Scott Foster.

    It's all about the turnovers.

    IMO, to win the series, we must win GM 3. You dont go down 2-1 vs that team.

    Someone needs to ask PJ this question.

    Curious minds want to know.



    I think AD is talking **** about his team, maybe even his coach.

    No Eric Gordon should not play 38 minutes. That is a injury waiting to happen. Limit him to around 30 minutes.

    Rockets need him for 20 more hard hitting games. The NBA Playoffs look like Football hits in the Paint with no Calls from Referees. Being Bias and Seeking Revenge.
