    I didn't watch the game bit I checked the score And it said 6 minutes left 90-89 thunder leading by 1. Rockets only scored 3 points. How friggen sad is this?. From people who watched the game what happend?, what could they have done to score what were they doing wrong?. Obviously Durant can take over but what's the excuse of not scoring?. Obviously they were playing well or matching okc in points but all of a sudden 6 minutes left they let it go. This team is fustrating to watch. I feel like howard should be better or getting more touches. Last game he went 4-5 that's unacceptable to me. Obviously howard went I think 6-14 or some thumb which is better but compared to hardens 18-25 shots he takes not really. I didn't see the game like I mentioned but I think hardens shots should lower and howard should get more shots or equal to harden. I also saw Lin playing fewer minutes but why?

    Didn't even bother to get a shot off at the end. In most cases it's fine but not when you only scored 9 in the quarter.

    This team needed a game like this. Now maybe they will start to truly listen.

    Naw, we already had games like this where we blew big leads to the Mavs in Dallas, McHale just forgets the next day and they're back to square one. This team needs a shake up fast !

    Mchale rides the hot hand. Brooks was extremely hot in the first half.

    We're 27-15 - shape up fast or what? We'll end up 52 and 30? What a horrible record for a young team man!

    We scored 19 points in a half - that kind of embarrassment is exactly what these guys need. They need people laughing at them for being a "high scoring offense" that see the NBA record for the worst 2nd half ever.

    There's a part of McHale that's smiling.

    I think a NCAA team would have played better than today's Houston Rockets in 4th

    Can you pity me? I rushed home from taking my kids to swimming class and started watching by the end of the 3rd quarter when Durent swished a 3 at the buzzer...

    They are too tired to play. They just cannot say it in interviews. About DH's problem, it's not just his teammates don't know how to give him the ball. It's more about he does not want the ball, especially in clutch times.

    The Rockets' number one problem is lack of screens in the half-court offense. I'll say it 'til I'm blue in the face :( ..... Expecting teams to score and shoot well without any screens would be like expecting a car to run without any gas. It just won't happen.

    If there were a statistic in the NBA for screens set, I'd be certain the Rockets would be dead last, with a good gap relative to the team next to last.

    McHale preaches read and react. For last night's game vs Thunders, I wonder what he was reading so he's not reacting to Rox not scoring in the second half. Analysis paralysis maybe.

    54-pt differential between first and second half. A really honorable record for any coach in NBA.
