Just got home. Not looking good for the Rockets.
What a run by the rockets.
Curry and Harden putting on a show
The rockets ave a lot more character than I thought.
terrance jones passing up way too many open shots
james harden is something special
but he cannot do it himself
or maybe he can! damn what a game.
Still can't believe Dantoni waived Brewer.
Terrible way to lose. You have to get a shot off. Smh
he couldn't do it himself.

I see the knicks curse us affecting all potential free agent signings- first Wes Mathews now Carroll.
It's getting weaker though. In the past we would have signed them before they go down.
Ha! It's scope has been quite impressive though, Beverley, Love, Aldridge, Mathews, Harris- I think Gasol was the only one who made it to free agency in one piece

That last play was horrific- I don't blame him, I'd choke under the pressure

mchale and he were not on the same page. there was 7.5 seconds left. you HAVE TO call a timeout and draw a play there, don't you?

Yep- I blame the coach. I understand Harden's decision because he would have been under the influenced of a rush of adrenaline. It's up to the coach to call the time out and calm everyone down.
I dunno. Looked like a reasonable shot at a fast break to win the game to me. Time out lets the defense get set. Just not sure why Harden didn't try to take it straight to the basket rather than passing.

okay i can see that point of view but guess what: thompson was guarding the right hand and curry was guarding the left, with the left sideline as a third defender. i think he tried to knife in between and curry i think got a clean swipe of the ball and that was all she wrote. as soon as he sees a trap in that situation he needs to call a timeout.

Harden goes left hard every time..He should have kept going to the rim..He had Curry back peddling...
They have to get the ball to DHow in the posts...Harden isn't going to do it alone for you..You have to get DHow involved and build his confidence...DHow can get you 25/20...No one on GS should be able to stop DHow...

maybe they can build his confidence next year. For now, giving him the ball in the post is causing problems.
In game one, every time they gave it to him in the post, GS swarmed him and he did not handle it well at all.
Yesterday he was actually pretty solid but he is far from a good post player.
I do agree that they will need him to play great for them to win.

I think it's confidence..His last year in Orlando, he was a beast in the post..If they don't use him they will lose...The think with DHow, if his confidence on offense rises, then his entire game picks up as well..Rebounding and on defense, he would be impossible..
