    Dwight is easily outplaying Jordan.

    Can't expect to dump the ball to James and ask him to create 1 on 5. We desperately need more offensive creativity and get James on the move to the rim. There's a reason why he has struggled historically against the Clippers. They play disciplined defense, pack the paint, force James to his right, and always bring another defender to shade or double, usually Dwight or Jones/Smith's man.

    We are going to win. No excuses. Defence Defence Defence. I don't care if it's a buzzer beater like the Cavs' just go home with the win.

    Have a tingling feeling Harden is going to drop 40+ tonight. He's due

    Really strange how it takes like a whole game for Mchale to make adjustments.

    Howard had it rolling in the first half but after the 1st he only shot 2 times till the 4th where the game was pretty much over. How do you as a Coach let that happen?

    Forcing the ball to Howard now sounds like desperation and hoping he has it going again. If that doesnt work, then what?

    I feel like James is going to get more calls tonight.

    Chuck and Kenny were spot on

    Hopefully the idiot McHale is listening

    This give the ball to Harden and clear out ain't going to work in the playoffs

    Dude, stop trolling.

    Is it any surprise this time doesn't have an identity yet? How many games has this team been healthy for? The identity of this team is basically Harden and Ariza. That's it. The fact we are even here, with all the adversity we have faced is freaking amazing. Some of you people are just horrible fans, if you could even be considered a fan in the first place.

    Uh, when you've played 90 games dating back to the beginning of the regular season and you're still looking for an identity, you've got issues.

    And don't give me any crap about injuries. This same lineup's been playing together since 3/27 when D-Mo first went out with his back injury(aside from Dwight missing a few games due to B2Bs). That's more than enough time to develop cohesion.
