Pretty damning stat! Add Carmelo Anthony to this team and you have to believe the shooting and execution improve.
You seem to have forgotten that it was Lin who built the 10-point leads in games 2, 3, and 4. Then McHale yanks him and we blow the leads while Jeremy is sitting.
The refs giving bad calls against the rockets has really changed the flow of the game. It throws our players off and stops any runs we are making. Throws off our rhythm and gives portland a chance to reorganize and jump back in the game. No matter how bad the Rockets are playing they are keeping all the games close but the bad calls are making a close game un-winnable for us. We have to be up by 10 with seconds left in the 4th quarter just to offset the bad calls and make it impossible for the refs affect the outcome.
bingo! barkleys exactly right in saying this teams perimeter d is turrible. we cant hold leads bcause of it and thats all nn harden. i'd be embarressed if a team kept posting me up and kept having success. dude has no pride from my pov. and have some self respect, he's an athlete and he isnt even in shape
Dayummm, that's pretty bad and seriously a choke job, considering Harden was a master during the reg season.
