Rockets win.

McHale said he had enough of Harden ISO and tired of Harden "not" listening to him. He benched Harden mid of 2nd half. And like magic, ball was moving, defense up. Howard screened for the ball handler and created easy bucket. Rockets won game 5 with a 50 points blow out.

We're pretty much dead, so no pressure, it's on them. Should be better at home. Hope JL's back is OK.

Portland by 2 or 3 points after some poor officiating dogs us yet again... They will complain all night and not get T'd up, Our guys will breathe on them and they will flail their arms and get plenty of calls all the while our guys get knocked over and not get a call... All while we blow another double digit lead... Need I go on?

Go team and such. Be nice to see a motivated squad that doesn't need to depend on Daniels to win.

If McHale can't get our guys to exploit the Pick N Roll which has worked nearly every time, then he should be replaced...

This game is a must lin.

The Rockets need the series MVP thus far, Jeremy Lin, to dominate, as usual.

That's what you get for giving a d**b ass BBIQ player a max contract along with a captainship.
We can still use Harden as a prolific scorer but the dude shouldn't be the primary ball handler.
I still think, Harden's defense is much more detrimented to this team more so than anything else so it's a tall order for McHale to overcome if he doesn't know how to use Harden while utilizing accountability.

BB's offensive game can be described as five spears that even if one can penetrate, even w/o a good team execution, we can still crate a havoc on other side. Defense game is like building a wall of solid fort and if one brick breaks away, the rest of bricks will start to crumble along with it, that's why it has to be done collectively as a team. Besides, defense wins game in playoffs 9 out of 10 times.

I know, it's a bit cliche things to say at this point but I think, it's too late for us to do anything different drastically in offensive end(I hoping I'm wrong). I would just like to see McHale be accountable with Harden's defensive game to extend this series which Harden might have better understanding of it than his offensive game.

Harden and Howard need to practice that pick and roll all offseason

Nebula1 · Post #18 » by **Nebula1** » Thu May 1, 2014 1:58 am

Houston has stopped doing what got them in the Playoffs in the first place. I look forward to McHale moving on.
