    Rockets had zero dunks tonight.

    Not complaining, just somewhat amazed.

    Damn..your right....jesus that's tough, on one hand, if he's gonnna play like this....you gotta play him so maybe House and Gordon can bolster the bench. On the other hand....that defense maaaaaan, PJ might die LOL. I dont know what id do, but if you put a gun to my head i would just say to keep starting Mac, cause we cant afford to have him be so trash on the bench.

    Harden can drag anyone to the WCF. Including this dude and Dwight Howard.

    The reason Harden didn't have more assists is because they were doubling him the whole game and his teammates were doing a great job of finding the open shot. If the NBA tracked hockey assists, Harden would of probably had a career high tonight.

    To be fair...Harden was dragged to the WCF that year thanks to Dwight, Josh Smith, and Corey Brewer...right, I know, it sounds crazy but it is all true.

    Dantoni is a huge whipping boy here bro....you know that....and the reasoning you gave is the reasoning you gave in bold is the reason he can be the whipping boy.

    I love that, I just found my auto biography book title. I will certainly give JayGoogle credit in the preface. :D:D

    Russ, take it easy. 'The Toronto Game' is already owned by T-Mac.

    Never said D'Antoni doesn't get criticism but he certainly doesn't get as much as Westbrook. There is a steady contingent of posters that come out of the woodworks to defend MDA's flubs. Who does that for Westbrook consistently? lol

    Harden can drag any team to the playoffs but he needs a 2nd star who can drag him to the finals.

    No shame in that, Lebron and Curry both needed 2 stars to drag them to the finals.

    LOL JR bumped a whole bunch of threads for Westbrook hahaha. MDA haters and Russ haters both have it common that everything is their fault, they ignore their positives while only focusing on their negatives.

    The problem with Westbrook is that .....well his flaws are just so overtly bad that you cant help but comment on it.And honestly....he's gonna have to play better in the future, he had really good positives....but he has to be able to score at least at average efficiency. Same with Dantoni hes gonna have to be more flexible with the lineups and develop the young guys so we can use them.

    Enjoy the 3 5min pockets of action in beginning of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th where Raps get a slew of calls (with a lot of flopping?) keeping the game close. Had these not happened (or WB poor shooting.... bruh) we would've won by 20+ hey. Good win!

    One guy lol. I can think of at least 5 posters that consistently defend MDA......yourself included lol. Most people agree that Westbrook is struggling on a historic level. So he's the main whipping boy.

    You are right because of that elimination game vs the Clippers. Good point.

    Maybe McHale was better than we give him credit for. I don’t see MDA having the nuts to pull that off.

    he can even drag anyone to the rings if only adam silver would let him... Tillman will be better off paying adam silver below the counter than paying luxury tax...no shooters will help more than scott foster and tony brothers
