Rockets are not good enough to overcome stuff like this; too weak mined. I still remember when Shaq called the Kings the Queens and could give a ****, went out and beasted them the rest of the season. Rocket players cant spew bull**** thinking the are THE **** and expect to win. Petition to compliment opponents from now on.
that's part of coaching. mchale should've had everyone focussed on portland. he should've reminded them how LMA torched us all year and that they could knock us out. he should've told them not to go bragging about who they think they are better than before they beat them to prove it. i'm done with mchale. this year was a make or break year for him and its broke. next year is a make or break year for harden.
the league wanted to see LA advance. They officiated the close games in LA's favor so that would happen. The rox are good enough to beat Portland, just not good enough to beat the league front office.
does he ever say anything other than "WE HAVE TO PLAY HARDER" and "WE NEED TO GET STOPS AND PLAY MORE DEFENSE"? that and I never see him being a calming force on the bench
the rockets are the new texans. just like when they brought out those lettermans and got their asses handed to them by the patriots
How about that gem quoted by Harden after game 1's horrible last "play" when asked by the reporter what the call was on that particular "play"...? Paraphrasing, "get an open shot"... INGENIOUS!
