    this game should be a blowout. The rockets were in control and the 6ers missed everything. They got bored and let them come back and McHale did a questionable job coaching--why in gods name would you not call a timeout when the team is within 5 pts after being up 14? insane.

    The good news is we can turn it on again in the second half and hopefully blow them out early

    Coach was complacent too early. Bench not playing well tonight.

    Harden is playing like he's a league of his own. Hopefully he won't be burnt out by mid-season. Need more guys to share his burden.

    McHale will just pull the starters if that happens.

    Lin was sharing the burden just fine only he played barely over a quarter's worth of minutes.

    I gotta admit, sometimes I can't understand the substitution pattern of McHale.

    Yep.
    Always respect your enemy, if not you will take Harden and Lin out of your line up and leave your team exposed to a higher probability for a "loss"

    Seems like the staff feels that Lin can't close out quarters and one nice game from TD to finish out a game has solidify his ability to do so. What a joke. TD comes in and our lead evaporates 9 out of 10 times.

    Mchale and staff rotation sucks to close out quarters period. Many of the games loss is contributed by this problem. TD in as a relief pitcher, Lin starts and save. Is that too hard?

    I'd rather we lose a couple games adjusting to his pattern instead of keep going this route.

    Lin and Harden can close a quarter T O G E T H E R.

    Rockets need to come out aggressive in the second half. We can beat this team easily.

    TD should close out the end of the first and maybe play 2-3 minutes into the 2nd...Lin should close out the half. TD closing the half makes no sense and all the momentum built was sapped. Same with 4th quarters, you put in your best players to close out. McHale really thinks too highly of TD.

    So are we always in the lead when Lin is playing? The lead never disappears when Lin plays?

    We're 3-10 against our conference and 3-7 on the road. Lin has played way more minutes then TD.
