    I don't know why it would take this long to see he just doesn't know what the hell he's doing. He's a CEO coach with essentially zero Xs and Os knowledge.

    Why? Primary players always get the most blame, especially when they play passive. Harden is not playing good ball now. He's passive offensively and his D is lethargic.

    This team was predicted to be the 6th seed or worse. Down 2-1 in the semi-finals would have been something we would have all taken in October. Let's be realistic here guys.

    I'd say it's kinda hard for Harden to score from the Bench. This is on McHale. It's on him to adjust his substitution pattern. I know he wants to rest Harden at the beginning of the 4th, but when you are down big in the Playoffs you just don't.

    Why are you calling him out for padding his stats..he is on the floor, so you'd expect him to play. If he is out there and doesn't ''pad his stats'' then people like you would be saying he is a QUITTER, has NO HEART, blabla

    Fact is, guys like Ariza, TJones, Terry, Brewer, Smith need to pick up their play and quick. They are getting great open looks but can't seem to convert on any of them. If scrubs like Austin Rivers outplay our role players, well you are going to have a hard time winning.

    that 23-0 run was everything.

    It was a 5-pt game and we lost by 25. This team exhausts me.

    TJ didn't see much time after Griffin was bailed out by the refs for falling over out of position on to his leg...

    Hope he's ok

    I'm still optimistic about the series but tonight, we had absolutely no effing defense. Coincidentally the only thing that we do, which is shoot threes, is now the only thing we can do. This is effing awful. Kevin McHale has to be the laziest coach I've ever seen coach as a Houston Rocket. Who the hell just lets their team sink like this without attempting to make adjustments? We have the players to win, so it's obviously on the coach... looking forward to how the Rockets respond on Sunday.

    Can we just get Hubie Brown from the broadcasting booth down to the sidelines, give Mcfail a mic, and call it a day?

    The Players should be disappointed
    The Coaches should be disappointed

    Honestly I wished they would take this game but I was not expecting it
    I did not expect a 25 pt loss though

    But like Hubie said. . . it is just 2-1
    I don't care if Reddick and Austin when for 500
    It is still 2-1
