Terrible...I mean Terrible

Can never excuse a professional who is making millions and cant sink free throws. With that said, MDA's stubbornness showed its ugly head tonite...

This was a DISGRACE on every level. It was a mockery of the game. Some of Dwight's free throws weren't even close and D'AnToni watched a slow carnage wreckage of death from the sideline.

Jordan Hill was giving maximum effort and making some plays or keeping them alive and Douglas was hitting 3s and hitting free throws late. The 2 "Bad Rookies" he wouldn't play here.

no, i like what he is doing which is building something.

How do you win in the spring if you can't work this thru at some point?

MDA was bought in to fix the team. Think that happens over nite?

They went 4-1 after the Princeton was dropped and Bickerstaff took over. Now they are losing and trading Gasol. Give D'Antoni 4 years and lets see what happens.

He has 3 more years to earn the deal, maybe he should be coming off the bench to hit the second units, still get his 25-30 minutes in some role, and the pressure is off. Toney Douglas has a right to get payed too; I didn't see the game but it looks like he went hard as a mother****er.

lin wasnt the only bit of bad for the rockets. harden was 3-19. amazing they won with the shooting they had

Talk about adding insult to injury. They've been sitting Lin down in the 4th as part of their game plan this season I believe. Hard for Lin to call himself a "leader" when he's glued to the bench in crunch time.

nice try tho...

not sure what you are watching as lin closed out the last few games including sealing the deal of their last win.. the rockets sat parsons, lin and aisk in the 4th because douglas, smith, especially were having career games and parsons was cold..

nice try tho...

Wish u had this same patience for our own players

why should I, the rockets are playing with an eye towards the future they are the youngest team in the league.... we are a win now team.. patience is out the window for the oldest team in the league.... I do have patience for shumpert, thats all tho...

The guy is a joke. The Buss family made a huge mistake. Hopefully for Laker fans it doesn't take almost 4 years and trading guys like Gasol to figure it out.

It could be fun, why not. NBA is too boring now that Lin had another bad game
