Harden is not efficient playing with Dwight and he is starting to realize it and he is now giving up meanwhile; Garcia and Casspi continue to suck.
The better team was at home and played their "A" game. One more: Pacers are the Rockets kryptonite because they defend the 3, get back on defense to stifle fast breaks and Paul George owns Harden.
Houston outpaced 114-81 Rockets caught sleeping in nap city. See how easy this is to do Houston Chronicle?
If the Pacers are the measuring stick, then the Rockets have a long way to go before they can be considered a contender.
The Rockets lost both games last year, but by 10ish points. Nothing remotely close to the 30 point blow out tonight.
A horribly woeful officiated first quarter lead to the momentum being in Indiana's favor and they never relented. You know the pathetic refereeing decisions are bad when you've got people who shake their head at you when you comment on the refs usually - being the ones who say they're making bad calls.
Really dude? Come on, the Pacers clearly outplayed the Rox in almost every facet of the game. Blaming the Refs is lame.
Laziness, turnovers, poor shooting, no movement, and lackluster Harden combine to win game for Pacers.
Mchales only offensive strategy is give the ball to Harden iso or give ball to Dwight iso, those are literally his only two plays. When most coaches are drawing up plays Mchale and saying "come guys! more energy!". We get outcoached almost every night and as much as I like Kevin Mchale it's about time to consider other options.
Yikes. Rockets always seem to have trouble against physical hard D type of teams. Once the rockets lose momentum of the 3, they get deflated pretty quick...
